Michael Bio:
Michael Ormerod began his Aikido journey in 2005 at just 15 years old in the UK. Over the years, he has trained extensively across Europe and completed an intensive training period in Iwama, Japan, under the guidance of Hiroki Nemoto Sensei (7th Dan).
In 2016, Michael embarked on a full-time, ‘live-in’ apprenticeship, training daily with his teacher, Lewis Bernaldo de Quiros (7th Dan). During this time, he also taught and trained at the Takemusu Aikido Motril Dojo in Southern Spain and attended international seminars as an assistant.
In early 2020, Michael founded the Takemusu Aikido Online Dojo to help people maintain their daily practice. Since then, he has led online sessions every weekday morning.
In 2024, Michael was awarded the rank of Yondan (4th Dan) by Aikikai.
