In 2006, he returned to Japan and was tested to the level of Godan (5th black belt) by eminent Yoshinkan instructors, Inoue Kyoichi Kancho and Chida Tsutomu Shihan making him the youngest foreigner outside Japan to attain the rank of 5th dan at 31 years of age.

In addition to training in Yoshinkan Aikido, Jon Marshall also holds the rank of 5th dan in Gyokushin ryu Aikido and was awarded his teaching licence directly from the founder, Terumi Washizu Sensei. He was also awarded the rare distinction of being appointed the head of Gyokushin ryu in Australia with the title of Shibucho and only the second dojo outside Japan that is authorised to teach and grade students in Gyokushin ryu Aikido. In April 2017, Jon Marshall was awarded the rank of Shihan (Master) from the Gyokushin ryu honbu dojo. He makes frequent trips to Shizuoka, Japan to continue his study of this fascinating form of budo.
