The following video has been recorded at Goshinkan Dojo.

Byron Bay is the mostly easterly point on the Australian continent and the location of Goshinkan Dojo. Goshinkan Dojo was opened in 1991 by Master Koretoshi Maruyama. Michael Williams Sensei, Chief Instructor of Aikido Yuishinkai International, who had established Goshinkan Dojo, has, in May 2006, moved to Fiji to establish Aikido Yuishinkai in the Pacific Islands. At Goshinkan a full schedule of classes is now taught to all levels and ages of the local community and the numerous visitors who arrive from throughout Australia and overseas by Jim Nicholls sensei, Head Dojo Instructor, with the help of a range of Senior Students/Instructors. Over the years, Goshinkan Dojo has hosted many seminars with renowned Aikido Masters and welcomes everyone to train regardless of style or affiliation.

Goshinkan Dojo has a large local training population with over 100 adults and many children. There are many senior students ranked nidan and above as well as a large number of beginning and intermediate levels. Goshinkan Dojo is a colourful, interesting community of people, a reflection of the unique town of Byron Bay. The dojo provides a friendly and supportive atmosphere of caring instructors and students dedicated to the benefits of aikido training and the Aikido Yuishinkai philosophy of 'Positive Mind'.
