Leo Tamaki talks about Aikido, disconection and Kishinkai

Big interview with Leo Tamaki (Founder and developer of Aikido Kishinkai). The martial arts blogger Sergie Nevi from "The Barefoot Samurai" blog interviewed Tamaki Sensei in Hanoi in August 2024.

The Kishinkai is a style of Aikido centered on developing inner and outer consciousness, through the practice of martially effective movements. The Kishinkaï technics are actualized manifestations of intemporal principles, thus the school is in constant evolution.

The Kishinkai, was created by Léo Tamaki, with the support of Issei Tamaki, Julien Coup and Tanguy Le Vourc’h. Their main inspiration was Tamura Nobuyoshi in Aikido. They also followed the teachings of Hino Akira, Kuroda Tetsuzan, Akuzawa Minoru and Kono Yoshinori.
