My Way to the Heart of Aikido with Masatake Fujita Shihan

This book is about the unique person, my Master, Masatake Fujita-Sensei, Shihan Hombu Dojo, 8th Dan Aikido Aikikai.

Masatake Fujita Shihan is famous for his vigorous performing of the techniques. His teaching style is commonly known as “Fujita-Sensei’s theory of motion (tai sabaki)“. In this theory, three elements are emphasized: posture, dodge and technical application. He introduced the progressive training method where they first teach the proper posture and then the needed appropriate dodge for a favorable position which is the key to a successful performing of a technique.

I believe that Masatake Fujita-Sensei’s teaching, spiritual thinking will be passed on and acquainted with more people.
