Yoji Fujimoto Shihan, 8th Dan
We are sad to announce the passing of Yoji Fujimoto Shihan today, after a long illness.
Shihan Fujimoto played a large role in the development of Aikido in South Africa and in Joburg Aikido’s Sensei Darko Vucetic’s own learning, when he trained under him for many years.
His clear, technical style and disciplined influence will be missed

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,000 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
This year, Sensei Darko is closing the dojo on 13 December. He is going to Belgrade to visit friends and family and he will be holding an Aikido seminar in Zagreb.
Classes will start again in Johannesburg on 10 January 2012.
The club will be holding the end-of-year get together on Friday 2 December at Pizza Place and Garden cafe: 14, 1st Avenue, Linden in the Linden View Centre. Please RSVP with Sensei as soon as possible to give him an idea of numbers
Starting time: 18 – 18:30
We regret to announce that the Wendywood dojo has closed , with immediate effect. This is due to the change of management at the Recreation centre which has made our future there uncertain.
