Simon Rees commenced training in Aikido in September 1991. His Aikido training began and still continues at his Sensei’s (Barry Knight) Rensei Dojo in Caulfield, Victoria Australia. Sensei Barry Knight teaches a concise step by step approach  to the Aiki concepts he was taught by his Sensei Morihiro Saito at the Ibaraki Dojo in Iwama Japan.

This concise step by step approach allows for accurate and precise transmission of technique, mind and body concepts from teacher to student. Simon with over 25 years of training and now 9 years of teaching follows his Sensei in providing the same precise, accurate step by step approach to the Iwama style of Aikido in his Taku Ma Dojo in Geelong Victoria.
