MAKATI AIKIDO CLUB CONDUCTS 5TH KYU GRADING EXAM FOR NSA CADET SCHOLARS IN BATANGAS

BATANGAS, Philippines — The Makati Aikido Club successfully conducted an Aikido 5th Kyu grading examination on May 29, 2026, at the Lyceum International Maritime Academy (LIMA) in Batangas.

The evaluation was held for the maritime cadet scholars of the Norwegian Shipowner's Association (NSA). Demonstrating the required technical proficiency, focus, and physical discipline of the rank, all participating cadets successfully passed the examination. The integration of Aikido training into the scholars' curriculum supports their overall physical readiness and situational awareness as future maritime professionals.

Note: The Makati Aikido Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to the practice of Aikido. We are a member of the Filipino Federation of Aikido, the national governing body for the martial art. Through this affiliation, our club is officially recognized by the Aikikai Foundation in Japan.

"Find Your Center in the City"

Makati moves fast, but your training doesn't have to be chaotic. Discover a martial art rooted in technical precision, circular movement, and the power of blending.
* Strategic: Learn to lead an attack rather than collide with it.
* Sustainable: A practice that strengthens the joints and improves posture—perfect for the desk-bound professional.
* Disciplined: Join a community dedicated to the traditional path of Aikido.

Visit Makati Aikido Club for a trial session and see how the principles of the mat apply to the boardroom.

We have four different Senseis at Makati Aikido Club representing four distinct approaches to the exact same traditional foundation:
* The Magician: Violates the laws of optics.
* The Mathematician: Pure, calculated geometry.
* The Minimalist: Total, infuriating conservation of energy.
* The Geophysicist: Uses your body to prove that the floor is an immovable object with infinite mass and a 1,000-0 record against human vertebrae.

The catch? We’re probably wrong about the categories. On any given night, you’ll likely face a chaotic superposition of all four—leaving you trying to calculate the trajectory of your own fall while wondering how you just became a kinetic projectile.

We won't tell you who is who (mostly because we’re still trying to survive the math). You’ll just have to step onto the mat and test the acceleration of gravity for yourself. Come catch a class, meet the crew, and see which combination of forces clicks with you—we promise to teach you how to dissipate kinetic energy beforethe floor claims its next victory!

Join us every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday | 630pm to 8pm

Kids class every Saturday 530pm to 630pm

We hope to see you there.

Our young aikidoka have demonstrated immense heart and discipline, marking a beautiful milestone in their journey with yesterday’s successful grading. This achievement is anchored by the devoted parents whose unwavering support provides the steady foundation upon which these children grow. For Dojo Cho Dam Amaranto Sensei, this moment is a profound fulfillment of his mission, as he treats the instruction of the next generation with the utmost gravity and care to ensure the legacy of the art endures. It also brings joy to our adult practitioners to witness this passing of the torch, knowing these students are being nurtured by a Sensei who views their development as the future of the dojo. Remember that your new belt reflects the collective love of this community and the deep commitment of your teacher, who sees in each of you the promising keepers of our path. As you advance, carry this harmony forward, honoring the serious trust placed in you by continuing your training with the same dedication that has brought you to this proud day.
