A Warrior’s Journey Through Movement, Feeling, Taoism and Self-Development If you walked into a dojo in Amsterdam in the late 1960s, you could smell the sweat before you heard the impact. Bare feet sliding across worn mats. Gloves cracking against ribs. Young men testing themselves against pain, discipline and fear. Somewhere in that world stood Roland Johan Christiaan Nansink — lean, searching, restless — beginning a journey that would take him far beyond fighting.

Taikiken Training, History and the Legacy of Kenichi Sawai

The Taikiken pages are dedicated to Master Kenichi Sawai, who expressed his Taiki feelings so well, when he said:

I am proud to be part of a martial-arts tradition as long as that of Ta-ch'eng-ch’üan. (Da cheng quan, Yi quan)


Whenever I think of the past, I see Wang Hsiang-ch'i (Wang Xiangzhai) and hear him saying: 

'No matter if you hear ki explained a thousand time, you will never understand it on the basis of explanations alone. It is something that you must master on your own strength.' 

“Round on the Outside, Square on the Inside” describes the ideal balance between flexibility and integrity.
