Paolo Corallini is an aikido teacher. He holds today the grade of 7th dan in Iwama Ryu Aikido and 5th dan Iwama Ryu aiki-ken and aiki-jo (the latter are the highest level of weapon-grades in Iwama Ryu aikido). Corallini began his training in the late 1960s and has been appointed by Morihiro Saito as shihan (top official representative) for Iwama Ryu. He visited Saito-sensei for the first time in 1984 after many years of practice under many of the Japanese top teachers in Europe. Together with Ulf Evenås, Corallini holds the highest grade in Iwama Ryu Aikido.
