Welcome to the Shin Gi Tai Aikido Society

Image This is the home of Shingitai Aikido on the web. The place where as a student, teacher or visitor you will be able to find out up to date information about the Shingitai Aikido Society and Aikido in general.

 

The Shingitai Aikido Society promotes aikido as a dynamic, living art as practiced by its founder Osensei (Morei Ueshiba). Osensei was not stifled by insular and sometimes pseudo traditional constraints of his time and consequently his Aikido changed and developed throughout his lifetime. The Shingitai Aikido Society (under the guidence of Shihan Gwynne Jones 8th Dan) in the same way, nurtures an ever evolving Aikido which warmly welcomes into its fold many practitioners of differing styles, encouraging reciprical development so that our Aikido can continue to be enriched as the living, dynamic art practiced by its founder Osensei.

Sensei Danny Dacosta

 

Sensei Danny Da Costa is a 6th Dan in Judo

and 4th Dan in Shingitai Aikido. He spent 10

years as a memberof the British Judo Team.

Da Costa was a European silver medallist at

the age of 33. In 2002 he became World

Masters Judo champion.

 

Five years ago Sensei Danny Da Costa was

told he had cancer in his bowels and liver

and would have eight months to live. Since

then he has proved the medics prognosis

incorrect and recently staged a successful

event at the High Wycombe Judo Centre in

Buckinghamshire demonstrating his own

inimitable art of 'Shinjido'. We are informed

that one of Sensei Danny's Canadian fans

has set up website where Danny now has a

regular blog at www.shinjido.com
