About Shoshin Aikikai Singapore
Shoshin Aikikai Singapore is an aikido club practising in the Novena area along Balestier Road, carrying forward a long tradition of the Japanese martial art in Singapore. The dojo welcomes both complete beginners and experienced practitioners, with sessions geared toward learning aikido's flowing, defensive techniques in a supportive group setting.
The club is grounded in a strong lineage. It was built on the work of founder Harry Ng Shihan, who devoted six decades to promoting and developing aikido locally, and it continues to draw on senior guidance, including technical advisor Etsuji Horii Shihan, a 7th Dan Aikikai practitioner who leads periodic seminars.
Trainees describe a friendly, helpful environment where instructors are generous with their knowledge and happy to share. With a centrally located mat just off Balestier Road and easy access by several bus services, Shoshin Aikikai suits anyone in the Novena area looking to take up aikido or deepen an existing practice within a welcoming, lineage-rich club.
