Michio Shimada
Started with Taikiken in the early nineteen eighties and is one of the second generation top Taikiken instructors who learned direct from master Kenichi Sawai himself.
Shimada sensei did run his own Taikiken dojo, but when master Kenichi Sawai died in 1988 he stopped teaching for about ten years.
From that moment he was training and teaching in Nishi Shinjuku Central Park and Yoyogi park for three times a week. As he expressed it himself he would like to train more, but he is a was busy man.
Shimada sensei has an powerful style of fighting and a strong one inch punch. He is a friendly and passionate Taikiken teacher.
