Nick Waites, the chief instructor of the Koteikan dojo, has been a student and teacher of aikido for over forty years, during which time he has studied aikido with many very senior teachers from all over the world.

He was awarded 6th dan by Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba (the grandson of the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba) at the Kagami Biraki ceremony in Japan in January 2013 and awarded Shihan in 2019.
