Observers of the annual All-Japan Aikido Demonstration have for decades been impressed with the performances of a tall, slim man with amazing technique. It is as though his body is filled with a pulsating electric current. His movements flow in a rippling cascade and the man seems deep in a trance. This would be Hiroshi Tada, 9th dan.

Advanced Aikido
Aikido is a martial art that goes about things in a totally unique way. You won’t spend your valuable time becoming more combative and seeking out petty competition.
