From the Actor
Tomiki Kenji

Product Description
Tomiki Kenji was born in 1900 in Japan. As a youngster he became a student of the esteemed Judo master Jigaro Kano - under whose guidance young Tomiki became a superior Judo student. At the urging of Kano - Tomiki undertook the study of Aikido under its founder M. Ueshiba and soon he began to excel in this art as well. By the time Tomiki grew into manhood he was considered one of the most knowledgeable martial arts experts in Japan respected by one and all not only for his knowledge but for his skill as a teacher to whom 1000’s flocked. This video is just a sampling of the great masters skill and is being released as a tribute to a truly great martial artist of the 20th Century.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Tomiki Aikido, December 25, 2000

By	Jason C. Mccoy (Alamogordo, New Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The video is an incredibly small view of Tomiki Aikido. The tape is under 18 minutes in length. There is less than 13 minutes of actual video footage, of which 3 minutes shows Judo students doing basic Judo, only about 30 seconds of Tomiki Sensei here. The almost 9 minutes of Tomiki Sensei doing Aikido is very good, but is nothing special.
