Takemusu Iwama Aikido Europe - How TIA Europe developed into the Official organisation of Takemusu Iwama Aikido in Europe Sensei Sargeant began training in Aikido, in Cambridge, at the age of 23. When he was at Ikkyu level he inherited the Cambridge Aikido club from his teacher who had been subject to long term health problems. In order to further his studies Sensei Sargeant would regularly travel to 'The Hut' in London (Institute Of Aikido). In February 1983 the turning point in Sensei Sargeant's Aikido career came when, as Shodan, he first trained under Morihiro Saito Sensei, 9th dan Shihan, in New Zealand. He was so impressed that he decided to follow Saito Sensei's teachings and adopt his style. Through his studies and commitment Sensei Sargeant has become a leading light in Aiki Ken and Aiki Jo. In 1991 Sensei Sargeant formed Traditional Aikido Iwama Style, with Paul McGlone (Godan), of the Poole Aikido club. In the same year Sensei Sargeant was awarded his Godan, whilst training at the birth place of Aikido (Iwama Dojo), by Saito Sensei. All these dojos strive for one thing.
