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)“....

My trips around the world are very often connected with Aikido.  And Japan always was and is the special country for me. 

In this book the author performs various powerful Koshi Nage techniques. Koshi Nage (hip throw) is a throw in which uke, the partner initiating the “attack”, is thrown over nage’s, the person executing the technique, hips

Practicing techniques with tanto in suwari waza requires an advanced level; moving of itself in suwari waza (confidently and in balance) is difficult, and parrying an attack just adds to its complexity. One crucial point is to keep the ma-ai distance, the other is to evade always the way of the attack – it is true for all techniques with weapons.

In this book the author performs various Koshi Nage techniques with bokken, jo, tanto. Koshi Nage (the hip throw) is a throw in which an uke, the partner initiating the attack, is thrown over hips of a tori, the person executing the technique.

Kata dori menuchi means an attack by which the uke grabs the tori’s shoulder with one hand and performs shomen uchi with the other hand. Kata means shoulder and menuchi stands for shomen uchi, that  is   a straight strike to the head from above.  The author presents various Kata Dori Menuchi techniques with step by step photos in this book.
