Laszlo Bak

Laszlo Bak, 4th dan (Aikikai)

Head of Aikido Shinbukan Dojo (dojocho)

He started training aikido at the beginning of the' 90s under the direction of Kozsuharov Ognjan. During this time apart from aikido for a while he was also practising Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido and Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Jodo.
In 1996 he joined the Association of Hungarian Kobayashi Dojos, which was founded at that time, and continued training with the guidance of Balazs Szabo.
At the end of the ' 90s he also learned from Kitayama Toshiyuki who was teaching at the Police College.
From 1997 to 2001 he was attending the Budapest Buddhist University (The Gate of Dharma Buddhist College) majoring in aikido.
In the spring of 1998 he went to Japan to the Aikido Kobayashi Dojo for the first time, and he spent there three months as an uchideshi (live-in apprentice).
Under the inspiration of Kobayashi sensei at the end of this year he started his first children's class in Visegrad, then an adult class in Esztergom in the spring of 1999.
He went to Japan to the Kobayashi Dojo for other three months' periods to live and study there in 2000, 2001 and 2002. While in Japan, he regularly visited the morning trainings of Ueshiba Moriteru doshu in Honbu Dojo.
In 2003 he built his own dojo in Esztergom, and since then he has been living and teaching here.
Recently he was in Japan in 2006, and he spent there one and a half months. He has the official relationship with the instructors of Kobayashi Dojo, and is also on friendly terms with them.
He is a certificated aikido instructor.

He intends to transmit, without any distortion, his personal experiences in practising and leading a dojo, how he has learnt it in Kobayashi Dojo in Japan. He considers consequent, regular and strict practising is principal, and is the only way of grasping and presenting aikido.

Sandor Czeh, 3rd dan (Aikikai)

Instructor

He has been regularly taking exercise since he was a child. He was six when he joined the Spartacus Judo Sport Association in Esztergom and he was practising and competing until he was eighteen.
Rivalry, peculiar to sports, made him look for other opportunities free of competitions. He found a possibility in the autumn of 1998 and joined to Rakatoarino Jan Hubel Michael's aikido club in Esztergom together with Balazs Magyar.
Soon he got acquainted with Balazs Szabo and then his disciple Laszlo Bak. He joined the Aikido Shinbukan Dojo with the leadership of László Bak as a founder member. In the spring of 2005 he passed his exam successfully for 1st dan before Masuda Manabu sensei. He has been an assistant instructor since March 2006.

From the aspect of aikido he believes commitment, respectful and intensive practising and openness towards others are essential.
