about us

Kingston Aikido Club is affiliated to the Institute Of Aikido (IOA) founded by Sensei Haydn Foster 7th Dan. Sensei Foster began his Aikido career in the 1950s at The Hut dojo under Abbe Sensei.

In 1966 Abbe Sensei returned to Japan and Sensei Ken Williams formed 'The Renown Society' which broke up in 1969. In 1973, at the request of senior ex-Renown society Instructors, Sensei Foster formed the Institute of Aikido based at The Hut dojo.

KIngston Aikido club was formed in 2003 by Sue Taylor and Thomas Nogues who both studied under Sensei Foster at the Hut dojo

Sue grew and developed the club, promoting, teaching and developing many students along the path of Aikido, the club now being run by her principle student Andy Rogers and Hut instructor 2nd Dan Dr. Ali Khan.

Sue Taylor now lives in Ottowa Canada but frequently visits England for the IOA summer school.
