About us:
Iran Aikido Association, I.R.I.A.A., was founded in 1996 with the purpose of organizing the activities of the Aikidokas in all styles. Since, Aikido can be practiced in all ages and has no competition, it went under the supervision of “Sports For All, Federation”; whose function is to maintain the public health through sports in the society. Sports For All Federation, is one of the federations of The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Sports Organization. The directorial position of the Sports Organization also has a seat in the Presidential Cabinet as one of its deputies. For the past several years, the association has come to supervise different styles of Aikido, such as Aikikai, Shin-ShinToitsu, Jiyushinkai, etc. Its main objective is to promote Aikido in the nation and to supervise all styles of aikido in Iran. The promotion of O’Sensei’s philosophy and his message of peace and harmony has been another main objective of this association.
