About Us

Dojo History

The Aikido of Jacksonville Dojo was established by Perry Lambert, Renshi in 2000 to spread the teachings of aikido to the Jacksonville, FL area. 

On December 27th, 2011, Dr. H.T. Hamada, Hanshi, International Chairman of the prestigious Japanese martial arts organization, Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, bestowed the dojo name Shinzui Kan Aikido Dojo to the Jacksonville dojo.  Shinzui Kan means Hall of Quintessence.  This name was given to help create a new chapter to the unending quest of reaching the quintessence of Aikido spirit.  The Forsyth dojo and the Richmond dojo have also become part of the Shinzui Kan Aikido Dojo.

The Dai Nippon Butoku Kai is Japan’s most prestigious martial arts society chaired by His Royal Highness Sosai, Higashifushimi and it is located in Kyoto, Japan.

Instructor Bios

All of our instructors are members of the International Division of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai with credentials directly from Japan. 

Dojo Cho (Chief Instructor)

Perry Lambert is the owner and Chief Instructor of Shinzui Kan Aikido Honbu Dojo.  He began his martial arts training when he started college in 1986, studying Japanese Karate-Do at the Old Dominion University Martial Arts Program headed by Dr. Hiroyuki Tesshin Hamada, Hanshi - Chairman of the International Division of the  Dai Nippon Butoku Kai.

After graduating college Lambert spent many years studying aikido and karate under various instructors.  In 2005, Lambert was honored to become a certified member of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai.  The training opportunities and the instruction he has received in various forms of budo from his first karate teacher, Hanshi Hamada, and the various teachers of Dai Nippon Butoku Kai have had the most positive influence on Lambert's understanding and practice of budo.    

While Lambert holds the rank of Godan and titles of Renshi and Shihan from Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, his goal is to maintain shoshin (beginner's mind) so he can continue his own learning process and strive to become the best student and teacher he can be.  He continues to study iaido at So Budo Kai dojo in Jacksonville, FL, and he recently re-started his study of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a white belt.

Assistant Instructors

Our assistant instructors help to improve our students' skills by providing instruction focused on the execution of strong, effective techniques in a safe manner.  Students are not judged by how they compare to others, rather, what is most important is that they have a positive mindset, a sincere desire to learn, a humble attitude, and a strong spirit.  This is what will continue the learning process over time, and what will overcome the challenges we all face both inside and outside of the dojo.
