Yokohama Country & Athletic Club held its yearly open day on Saturday 30th of October. It is an opportunity for the entire Yamate community to get together and enjoy Halloween-themed attractions, games, live music, and a number of exhibitions offered by its resident clubs.

Since its inception, Yokohama AikiDojo has been committed to serving its close community in the Yamate and Honmoku area by spreading the positive teachings of Aikido.

In spite of the pandemic which greatly undermined the scale of any public event, the hosting by Tokyo of the 2020 Olympic Games saw the organization of a relatively large number of non-competitive events as part of its official program. One of those events was the “武道祭2020 – UNIVERSAL BUDO FESTIVAL in YOKOHAMA” and as its name suggests, it focused specifically on promoting and disseminating Japanese martial arts.

Yokohama AikiDojo head instructor Guillaume Erard was invited to teach a joint seminar held at the Tokyo Budokan.
