"Experience the Essence of Taikiken Training in Meiji Jingu Tokyo with Our Photo Gallery"


This Photo Gallery is a homage to Hideo Matsunaga, martial artist and sports photographer well-know for his excellent action photographs. This collage of his photo’s show the special atmosphere of Kenichi Sawai’s Taikiken training in Meiji Jingu in Tokyo.

Hideo Matsunaga’s photo’s are in our opinion the right stuff to get the Meiji Jingu feeling working. That is why we share our collection, to help you to understand the true meaning and essence of the training Taikiken in a natural environment. These photo’s show Sawai Sensei’s special way of teaching and sharing his expertise in Taikiken as a contemporary combat science.
