Takuma Hisa sensei, (Daito-ryu menkyo kaiden and whose name Takumakai bears) was instructed in Daito-ryu by both Ueshiba Morihei Sensei (Daito-ryu Kyoju Dairi and founder of Aikido), and Takeda Sokaku Sensei (known as the “reviver” of Daito-ryu, and teacher of Ueshiba Morihei Sensei). The Daito-ryu of Takumakai stands at the cross-roads of these martial geniuses, bearing the stamp of both pre-war Ueshiba Morihei Sensei and the mature techniques of Takeda Sokaku Sensei.
Demonstrators include Kawabe Takeshi Shihan (head instructor of Takumakai) and other teachers and members of Takumakai Japan; senior teachers and members of Fudoshin from Finland; and Yushinkan and other Takumakai members in the US. This is a rare opportunity to view authentic Daito-ryu as practiced by Takumakai.
