Friday, May 7th, 2010Interview with Fumio Toyoda Shihan (1996)
Sunday, February 28th, 2010![]() |
“Fumio Toyoda Sensei, the head of the Aikido Association of America, is a burly man with a generous laugh. His aikido is quick and vigorous, and powerfully direct. Nearly every weekend he is on the road, criss-crossing his way around the United States to teach a seminar at one of AAA’s more than 120 dojos. At every stop, no matter what techniques he demonstrates, the 49-yr-old 6th dan emphasizes one point in particular — transmission of quality aikido. Over time, as they grow further away from their founder, martial arts have a tendency to fade. Fumio Toyoda believes that Ueshiba aikido is an art worth maintaining and improving.”
