New base for Yamato Dojo

Aikido Yamato Dojo have just marked their 15th anniversary since being established in Malta with a three-day seminar that was led by one of Europe's top Aikidoka, 5th Dan Renato Tamburelli, of Italy.

Master Tamburelli was also present for the opening of the club's new headquarters, at Maria Assumpta School, Ħamrun, along with Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Clyde Puli.

In Malta, Aikido is primarily promoted by word of mouth through a group of enthusiastic practitioners.

New students approach with an element of curiosity this gentle art but rapidly become enthralled by the power and beauty of its moves, a Yamato Dojo statement said.

Older students often reflect that despite the years of practice of Aikido there is still plenty more to learn making it an art one can truly practise all life.

Yamato Dojo will commence junior classes for 10-16-year-olds.
