Lewis trained under the late Morihiro Saito Sensei (9th Dan) from 1986 until 1993 in the Iwama Dojo in Japan. He has been busy ever since teaching Aikido both at home in the Netherlands and abroad in seminars throughout Europe. After returning from Japan he maintained regular contact with his teacher through seminars both as a participant as well as assistant and translator.
Lewis is the senior instructor of Takemusu Aikido in the Netherlands and is associated through seminar and examination activities with a network of dojo's practicing the same style. Takemusu Aikido in the Netherlands is affiliated with the Aikikai organization in Tokyo and with TAK (Takemusu Aikido Kyokai) in Europe.
 

Takemusu Aikido Naarden:
Location:
gymhal of Wellantcollege
Tenierslaan 2, 1412 JE  Naarden
* Basics Class:
The aim of these classes is to introduce the basic skills necessary to safely join the general classes where   technical practice is more emphasised.
* General Class: 
All classes begin and end with a formal etiquette (reigi) whose meaning is to contain the training experience within the bounds of attention, trust and respect. These are the essential ingredients in creating an atmosphere within the dojo where practitioners can put each other under pressure in a safe way without letting the practice stray into areas of competitiveness or loss of control.  
 
Tuesday:  
19:00 - 20:00 Beginners Adults
20:00 - 22:00 General Adults (from 6th kyu)
Thursday:
20:00 - 22:00 General Adults (all levels)
 
Instructors: Lewis de Quiros (5 Dan), Arjan de Haan (3 Dan).
For more information: www.traditionalaikido.eu.

Video clip from Richard Moon Sensei:
When Billy found his Center
"I feel what you call fear; but I call it a call to action. O Sensei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido. We need a technology to resolve the war within so that we can stop projecting our inner struggles outward. It must be simple so everyone can use it. If this technology were effective, it would resolve the inner conflict and the external struggles as well. Such a technology would enable us to use all the energy available to create a beautiful world."
