Frankie Chan Sensei

Frankie Chan Sensei began Aikido in 1990 with the Ki-Society dojo in Singapore. Koretoshi Maruyama Sensei was then the President / Chief Instructor of Ki-Society HQ Japan at that time. Although Maruyama Sensei later resigned from the Ki-Society in 1991 to undergo a 10-year retreat in a temple, he had already left an impression on Frankie Chan, who continued with his training in Ki-Aikido. Frankie Sensei was awarded his Shodan in 1998 and took on teaching duties at the Ki-Society dojo until he left the organization in October 2000. Subsequently, Frankie Sensei continued his aikido training with a small group of fellow aikidokas in a private location.

In early 2002, Frankie Sensei was informed of Maruyama Sensei's return from the temple and with the assistance of Michael Williams Sensei, he and his group of Aikidokas became part of Aikido Yuishinkai. In September 2002, Frankie Sensei was given permission by Maruyama Sensei to start an Aikido Yuishinkai branch in Singapore, under the supervision and mentorship of Michael Williams Sensei.
