The Aikido Mastery Channel

Experience the complete path of Aikido through authentic instruction and lifelong practice. Deepen your understanding, refine your movement, and embody the harmony at the heart of Aikido.

Preserving the Art, Spirit, and Legacy of Aikido

The Aikido Mastery Channel was created by the Orange County Beach Cities Aikido Foundation (OCBCAF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving authentic instruction and making the teachings of Aikido accessible worldwide.

For generations, Aikido has been more than a martial art — it’s a lifelong discipline of harmony, respect, and mindfulness.


The Aikido Mastery Channel continues that tradition by offering students and instructors a way to deepen their understanding, refine their movement, and stay connected to the true essence of Aikido — no matter where they train.

Each lesson, seminar, and video is curated to honor the legacy of great masters while empowering today’s practitioners to bring Aikido principles into everyday life.

  • Authentic Lineage: Rooted in the teachings of Gentil Pennewaert Shihan and the OCBCAF foundation.

  • Accessible Learning: Train anytime, anywhere, access curated lessons, seminars, and instructor archives.

  • Nonprofit Mission: 100% of proceeds support educational programs that promote peace and awareness.

A special message from Sensei

A special message from Sensei

“Thank you for your support of our dojo with your subscription of the Aikido Mastery Channel.

As we live in a progressive age where technology can be helpful in reviewing aikido techniques and learning, it is still very important that we continue to practice at the dojo.

The art of aikido involves feeling and an exchange of energy which can only be experienced on the mat.”

-Gentil Pennewaert Shihan, 7th Dan Aikikai
