2009 Turkey Seminary

Bursa entertained an giant   Valuable master was in Bursa. Esteemed H. Sueazawa Shinan who is one of the few masters of the arts of Jo-do-Aikido and İai-do arts was in Turkey. By coming to Bursa great master shared his knowledge and experience with us. By visiting Cappadocia, Ankara (Gordion and Anıtkabir) and Istanbul he found an opportunity to know Turkey and Turkish culture very well. Suezawa Shihan had come to Turkey at first in 2002. Because of his great interest to Turkey and Turkish culture he has visited the country seven times.

After training performed Sunday, in the breakfast which is, besides our members, done in the presence of guardians of students it was seen that Uluyama is a really great family.   Suezawa Shiha shared his knowledge of Iado, Jo-do and Aikido in a work-shop in which a number of person joined. During the Fest of Sacrifice Suezawa Shihan stayed in the village of Rüstiye and he found opportunity to observe the facts in the morning of the fest. Villagers who previously didn’t know us individually, showed close interest to us. This fact proved once again how hospitable and how generous are the Turkish people.
