The Pacific Aikido Federation is directly affiliated with Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

The Pacific Aikido Federation (PAF) is a group of dojos and students who are following Shiohira Shihan's approach to Aikido as a Martial Way. This means not only learning and becoming proficient in Aikido techniques but also settling into your true self (developing awareness and a deeper understanding of yourself) so that the training comes out in our every day life situations. This type of training is called Shugyo.
