Roy Y. Suenaka Sensei, is one of contemporary budo's most experienced practitioners and best-kept secrets. Suenaka Sensei was a direct student of Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei and incorporates all of his teachings into his style of Aikido. Wadokai Aikido is the international martial arts organization founded by Sensei Roy Suenaka 1975 to reunite the martial and the spiritual elements of Aikido.
The result is a martial art that is "street effective, " yet respectful of all living things, a martial art where equal emphasis is placed on physical and personal development. I would like to personally welcome you to Wadokai Aikido. The study of Aikido is an exciting one and can become a lifelong journey, not only in perfecting physical technique, but in applying the principles of Aikido in your daily lives.

Wadokai Aikido is the international organization of the students of Sensei Roy Suenaka. More a family than an organization, Wadokai Aikido was founded in part to further the growth and spread of Aikido, the way of harmony. The members of Wadokai are a close-knit group, and every Wadokai dojo teaches Suenaka-Ha Tetsugaku-Ho Aikido, or "Suenaka style, philosophical way."
Each Winter Aikido students from the affiliated Wadokai Aikido schools meet in Charleston S.C. at the Hombu dojo to participate in what we call Kangeiko, an aikido intensive, weekend seminar. This event gives students a chance to learn aikido directly from Sensei Suenaka himself.
Since the inception of this event, Sensei Suenaka has carefully chosen specific aikido techniques of Suenaka-Ha Tetsugaku-Ho Aikido that relate to a common theme or principle.What also makes this event so highly beneficial and worthwhile is that students will spend about twelve hours practicing various Aikido techniques under the direct supervision of Sensei Suenaka.
