Ramlan Ahmed Sensei
Chief Instructor

He started learning Aikido in the year 1995 with Sonny Loke Sensei, and was graded to 1st Dan black belt by Kancho Inoue Sensei who was then the Headmaster of International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation, Japan at the end of the year 1997.

He has devoted his effort to spreading Aikido under the tutelage of Thamby Rajah Sensei since early 1998. A year later, Ramlan Sensei was graded to 2nd Dan. Seeing Ramlan Sensei’s enthusiasm and strong spirit, in January 2002, Thamby Sensei sent Ramlan Sensei to Melbourne for intensive training and to be trained personally under his nephew, Joe Thambu Sensei (7th Dan, Yoshinkan Aikido), Chief Instructor of Aikido Shudokan Australia.

March 2003, Ramlan Sensei went to Melbourne again in conjunction with Kancho Inoue’s visit and was graded to 3rd Dan by Kancho Inoue Sensei.

Ramlan Sensei has been constantly going to Japan and Australia, to undergo advance training and has attended many seminars overseas. He participated in the 50th Anniversary International Demonstrations in Japan (September, 2005). He also featured in many demonstrations in Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore. On 18th July 2007, Joe Thambu Sensei graded him to 4th Dan.

Ramlan Sensei has also trained under world-renowned Aikido teachers such as Hanshi Kyoichi Inoue, Tsutomo Chida Shihan, Takafumi Takeno Shihan, Robert Mustard Sensei (Canada) and also Kancho Yasuhisa Shioda (current Head of Yoshinkan Aikido).
