Kokusai Aikido Kenshukai Kobayashi Hirokazu Ha

 Kokusai Kenshukai Aikido Kobayashi Hirokazu Ha was created under the initiative and guidance of Kobayashi Hirokazu Sensei, direct student of O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, in January 1998 following  preparatory  works undertaken in 1996 and 1997.  Its goal is to develop and spread Kobayashi Sensei's teachings of Aikido all over the world, to define criteria enabling to identify this Aikido and to emphasize Kobayashi Hirokazu Sensei's message

Kokusai Kenshukai Aikido Kobayashi Hirokazu Ha acts without discrimination towards anybody, respecting law and restraining from any sectarian or racist attitude or religious proselytism. It does not claim any superiority over other schools of Aikido, but it nonetheless asserts its identity through the originality and authenticity of the technique and the message it spreads. It expresses its respect for all styles of Aikido taught all over the world by the disciples of the founder, O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, whose memory it honours. It attaches great importance to the multiplicity of styles and to the freedom of human beings  which are one of the main contents of Kobayashi Hirokazu Sensei's message. The latter was unanimously awarded the title of Sôshu by the other founder members and with his agreement. He will now hold this title in our school. Besides Kobayashi Sôshu the other founder members are Mr Cognard André, Salvadego Paolo, Maccario André, Oeschlager Walter, Huet Frédéric and Giraud Jean Pierre.
