Minoru Kanetsuka-sensei (7th Dan Aikido Aikikai) led an international seminar of aikido clubs “Ryushinkan” in Staiki, Minsk area, Belarus, at 1996.
Minoru Kanetsuka was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1939. The Kanetsuka clan is an old Satsuma samurai clan whose ancestors have long served in the navy. As a student at Takushoku University in Tokyo in 1957, he began learning aikido under Fujita-sensei and Shioda-sensei (the founder of the Yoshinkan, from whom he later received 2nd dan). After graduating from university in 1964, he moved to Nepal and spent eight years teaching aikido to the Royal Family and Nepal police.
Kanetsuka-sensei traveled to the United Kingdom in 1972 to work as an assistant technical director for the UK Aikikai, which was founded in 1968 by Chiba-sensei. It was Chiba-sensei who prompted Kanetsuka-sensei to create his own dojo in London and offered the name 流 心 館, in English transliteration Ryushinkan, in Russian – Ryushinkan or Ryushinkan, which may be interpreted as “school of relaxed consciousness”. Kanetsuka-sensei establishes a dojo at the grounds of the renowned judo dojo Renshuden on Albany Street in 1973.
Minoru Kanetsuka became the technical director of the British Aikido Federation after Chiba-sensei departed the UK for Japan in 1977. Kanetsuka-sensei, 7th dan Aikido Aikikai, is now the official representative of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo (headquarters of the World Aikido Center in Tokyo) in the United Kingdom in this role.
The language is English.
