Haru Yama Aikido Toa Payoh South Dojo - Haru Yama Aikido Toa Payoh South Dojo

"The dojo is a safe place to learn" -- Stanley Ang sensei and indeed it is. Stanley sensei cultivates a healthy learning environment in his dojo where students are pushed to test their own limits and challenge themselves in advancing their tech and vocabulary. We also learn how to use the various aikido weapons and most importantly, how to hold them correctly. Ukemi is taught and learned in an incremental and systematic way, ALWAYS with the safety of its students as the top priority. I sustained a bad shoulder injury in 2015 during an ukemi lesson in the school I was previously enrolled in and it was further aggravated in yet another ukemi session in 2017 and the dojo cho admits no fault in the training method. In 2020, I left the school and I am still suffering from acute shoulder pains. The well-being and safety of students is not something to be trifled with and here in Haru Yama aikido, proper training methods are taken seriously. Highly recommended. Come join us!

Stanley Sensei is a very dedicated instructor who never fail to motivate and encourage us in our Aikido learning journey as well as introduce us to the art of Shinkendo. The class comradeship is also very good. Students look out and help each other in our training. I am enjoying every bit of my Aikido journey under Stanley Sensei and with my Aikido mates.
