About Tomiki Aikido
Tomiki Aikido is the style of Aikido founded in 1967 by Kenji Tomiki (富木 謙治 Tomiki Kenji, 1900–1979). Tomiki Aikido is sometimes referred to as Aikido Kyogi meaning "Competitive Aikido" or "Sport Aikido" because of its use of regular competitions. Tomiki aikido places more emphasis on free-form randori sparring than most other styles of aikido. The training method requires a balance between a randori training method and the more stylized and traditional kata training along with a well-developed set of training drills both specific for randori and for general aikido development.
About Kenji Tomiki Sensei
Tomiki was one of the early students of the founder of aikido Morihei Ueshiba, beginning in 1926, and also of Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo. He went on to be awarded the first 8th dan in aikido (1940) and an 8th dan in judo (1978).he taught both judo and aikido for many years at Waseda University. It was there that he formulated and expanded his theories concerning both kata-based training methods and a particular form of free-style fighting which would put him at odds with much, but not all, of the aikido world. In 1953, Tomiki along with 9 other martial art instructors were selected to tour US Air Force bases in the United States and was thus the first aikido instructor to visit the US.
