- Olivier Eberhardt started to practice Aikido in September, 1991 at la Flèche (Sarthe). He met Daniel Toutain in 1992 at the Aikido Academy of Rennes and became his student. It was a transitional period during which Daniel turned his practice towards Morihiro and Hitohira Saito Senseis’ Iwama Ryu Aikido.
Thanks to a pretty daily training at the Aikido Academy of Rennes, Olivier was able to attend many national and international seminars the Iwama School was organizing throughout Europe. The richness of this practice had Olivier become one of Daniel’s assistant and get more and more involved in the school Iwama Ryu France just created at the time.
- In November, 1994 he made his very first journey to Japan where spent three months, as an inner student “ushi-deshi”, under SAITO Morihiro’s direction (9th Dan, Aikido’s world Ambassador) in the Aikido’s creator original Dojo (Iwama-japan). On the 14th January, 1995, when he was still in Japan, he was delivered his first Dan by SAITO Morihiro himself in the Aikido’s creator dojo. His immersion inside the original place of Aikido considerably changed his implication and motivation regarding the practice.
- From 1995 onwards, Olivier has taken the function of secretary among the group Iwama Ryu Aikido France and has deeply devoted himself to the organization by participating in the planning of the several different international seminars directed by SAITO Morihiro and SAITO Hitohira and invited in France by Daniel Toutain. |
