Wilson Chan Sensei has over 15 years of experience in Aikido, practicing under the guidance of Serge Beraud Sensei, 6th Dan. He has attended numerous international Aikido seminars taught by renowned Shihans, including Yasuno Masatoshi, Takeshi Yamashima, Kuribayashi, Yoko Okamoto, and many others.

He holds a 4th Dan black belt Aikikai, a member of Singapore National Registry of Coaches (NROC), and currently teaches at Mumei Shudan HQ, CCK Dojo, NTU, and NUS university. He is currently the President of Mumei Shudan and collaborates with the Chief Instructor to design the training syllabus for the dojo.

Before Aikido, Wilson was a Tai Chi bronze medalist in the Singapore national Wushu competition and a Powerlifter. His passion for sports involves tracking and analyzing muscle development, movements, injuries and interactions with practice partners. This analytical approach influences his Aikido practice.

Wilson Sensei’s Aikido practice focuses on three key areas:
1. Progressive overload in martial and mental training.
2. Identifying and nullifying defense openings in both tori and uke.
3. Understanding conceptual variations in Aikido techniques.

Hamzah Sensei is a 4th Dan black belt Aikikai, and has been practising Aikido since 2008 and has been teaching the Adults class in Mumei Shudan since 2016. His Aikido practice is heavily influenced by many Aikido masters that he has had the opportunity to take part via both local and international seminars such as Takeshi Yamashima Shihan, Christian Tissier Shihan, Etsuji Horii Shihan, Kuribayashi Takanori Shihan and Masatoshi Yasuno Shihan.

“Personally speaking, Aikido is considered as one of the most abstract Japanese martial arts in my honest experience because of the variety of interpretations in movements and techniques that from a beginner’s perspective, is quite hard to understand at first glance. As a teacher, I feel that it is my responsibility to bridge that gap by building the fundamentals of an Aikidoka and provide practical reasoning as to why the movements are performed in a certain manner. It is essentially important to convey this to beginners as it provides better insight when learning from even higher-level Aikido teachers through our yearly Aikido seminars.”

Despite his current rank as a teacher, Hamzah Sensei still believes in Shoshin, the beginner’s mindset whereby there are still aspects of his Aikido that requires further refinement and mastery till today.
