Morihei Ueshiba died in 1969 leaving the Iwama Dojo in the capable hands of his
technical heir Morihiro Saito Sensei. Saito Sensei spent 23 years on the mat
with the founder, much more than anyone else. Field Sensei spent more time on
the mat with Saito Sensei than any other Australian. In the year 2000, during
his last seminar in Australia, Morihiro Saito Sensei (Soke of Iwama Ryu Aikido)
honoured Michael Field by making him head of Iwama Ryu Aikido in Australia.
Saito Sensei died in May 2002.
Iwama Ryu Aikido Australia is dedicated to
preserving and teaching future generations the founder's technique as received
from Morihiro Saito Sensei unaltered.
