Dr Neil Dixon (6th Dan Shin Gi Tai Aikido and 6th Dan Dai Nippon Butoku Kai)

We are very fortunate in having an excellent teacher who has over 20 years of training in Aikido and having attained 6th Dan in Shin Gi Tai has recently been awarded 6th Dan in Kyoto, Japan, by the renowned All Japan martial arts association, the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai. Dr Neil Dixon is well known in Aikido circles as a gentle giant and although he is taller, stronger and bigger than most people his techniques are always controlled, effortless and expertly blending with his oponents.
