Keiko Onishi
Tea Ceremony Master, Calligraphy Master and Japanese teacher.
Born and raised in Tokyo, she developed a passion for Japanese culture from a very young age. After meeting her Tea Ceremony master in middle school, she decided to begin studying this art.
After years of practising Chanoyu (Tea Ceremony), as well as Ikebana (flower arrangement), Kitsuke (Kimono art), Japanese calligraphy, Japanese cuisine, the art of Wagashi (traditional Japanese confectionery) and the Japanese language, she settled in France to share her rich and unique experience and philosophy of a culture she deeply cherishes.
Guenael Anne
Ever drawn to Japanese culture and martial arts, he began practising Aikido in 2005. Trained under renowned masters such as Eric Marchand, Bernard Palmier and Josette Nickels, he progressed through the discipline until obtaining his federal certificate and grades up to 2nd Dan.
He then achieved his 3rd Dan under the guidance of Ludovic Caudéran, seeking to rediscover the quality of practice he had experienced during visits by Japanese masters to France.
Christophe Brossaud
In 1984, at the age of 13, he discovered Aikido through a friend.
Six years later, under the guidance of José Caeiro, he passed his 1st Dan and continued his journey until 1992.
He then joined Bernard Boirie's dojo in Mérignac, and had the opportunity to train in Japan in the dojos of Master Yasuno, 8th Dan Aikikai, thanks to Ludovic Caudéran, his student of over 15 years.
Upon returning from Japan, he chose to follow Ludovic Caudéran's teaching, drawn to a practice of martial intensity rooted in fundamental principles and natural movements.
