Aikido Victoria Glen Waverley Dojo is a sports club located in Melbourne, Victoria. As the representative of Aiki Kai Aikido in Melbourne and the state of Victoria, it upholds the traditions and teachings of the art of Aikido, which was founded by Ueshiba Morihei, also known as O-Sensei.
The National Aikido Association of Australia, Aiki Kai (Australia), was established in 1965 under the direct authorisation of O-Sensei. Sugano Seiichi, an 8th Dan, was a direct student of O-Sensei and served as the head of Aiki-Kai in Australia. He was also the Australian representative to the affiliated parent organisation, World Aikido Headquarters (Hombu), based in Japan.
Since Sugano Sensei's passing in 2010, his responsibilities have been carried on by the Sugano Foundation. The dojo continues to honour his legacy and teachings, ensuring the continued growth and development of Aikido in the community.
