Born 1956. Robert Mustard is a Canadian martial artist and aikidoka.

Robert Mustard Shihan (May 19, 1956, in Toronto, Canada) is a teacher of Yoshinkan Aikido. He is currently ranked 8th Dan.

Early life Born in Toronto on May 19, 1956. Robert Mustard took to sports at an early age, playing hockey and Canadian football. His introduction to martial arts came through Kung Fu instructors Jack Chin and James Lore, who trained him for five years. He underwent kendo training under Larry Nakamura, Shigeo Kimura and Masatoshi Tagawa for five years and achieved the rank of ni-dan. One year after Gozo Shioda's death, Robert Mustard and his wife Carol left Japan and settled in Vancouver, BC and opened the Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby dojo in Burnaby, British Columbia. Robert Mustard attained the rank of Nana-dan (7th degree black belt) in December 2006, and was awarded the title of Shihan in August 2011. He was awarded Hachi-dan (8th degree black belt) by the Yoshinkan Honbu Dojo in November 2014.

Current Teaching On July 7, 2023, Mustard officially resigned from the Aikido Yoshinkai Foundation. He now heads his own independent association -- Aikido Shobukai -- with headquarters in Burnaby, B.C., just outside of Vancouver, Canada.
