Zen Eikoku Tomiki Aikido Renmei

Shodan, BAB Coach Level 1
Co-Founder & Senior Coach, Genryukan Aikido

Phil started learning Tomiki aikido in 2001 at Hythe Aikido Kwai. In 2005, he began training at Gowaryu Aikido in Ashford under Jim Dempster (3rd Dan).

Phil was impressed with Dempster Sensei’s no nonsense, practical application of aikido.

In 2009, Phil was awarded Shodan (1st Dan) by Shaun Hoddy Sensei (6th Dan Tomiki). In the same year, he founded Genryukan Aikido in Dover with Christophe Courtin and began coaching under the auspices of Shaun Hoddy Sensei and the Zen Eikoku Tomiki Aikido Renmei.

Kotegaeshi

Whilst always training within the Tomiki system, Phil has continued to be open to other approaches and systems of Aikido. This lead him to Neil Saunders (4th Dan) who has high grades in both the Tomiki and Yoshinkan systems of aikido. Saunders Sensei has taught several times at Genryukan Dojo and continues to advise Phil on his aikido training.

Phil has also attended Seminars in other styles with Aikido masters such as Christian Tisser Shihan (7th Dan Aikikai) and Robert Mustard Sensei (7th Dan Yoshinkan).

Phil is dedicated to further his understanding of Aikido and committed to helping others share his passion for it.
