Mr Hayden Foster
Sensei Haydn Foster is the Technical Director of the
Institute of Aikido which is in turn a founder member of the
British Aikido Board (BAB).
Sensei Foster began his aikido training in the 1950s and was awarded his 1st Dan by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei,
his 2nd Dan by Mutsuharu Nakazono Sensei (1960), his third Dan by
Masamichi Noro Sensei. He currently holds the rank of 7th dan (IA).
In 1973, following the demise of the Renown Aikido Society
(1966-1969), Foster Sensei was approached by the ex- members and
asked to reconstruct the society as the Institute of Aikido.
Now in his late seventies, Mr. Foster is still actively teaching at The Hut dojo near Heathrow and regularly conducts courses.
