Tomiki KENJI was born in Kakunodate (Akita Prefecture) in 1900. He practices judo under the orders of the founder Jigoro Kano, then becomes a student of Morihei USHIBA in 1926. He will earn an 8th dan in both disciplines.

His approach to Aikido is essentially based on its effectiveness in real combat and he will work throughout his life on a way to adapt this art to competition. He founded the Japan Aikido Association in 1974 to promote his vision.

Tadayuki SATÔ is a student of TOMIKI Kenji and the president of the Nihon Aikido Kyokai. After graduating from Waseda University, he became a teacher himself. He teaches in several dojo and schools to develop Aikido.

In this DVD, Sato shows some Randori (kumite) techniques.

What isMartial arts ?

Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation’s intangible cultural heritage.

Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin and means “arts of Mars”, the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never “martial” in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
