Our Master Instructor

We train under the instruction of Masakazu Tazaki Sensei. Tazaki Sensei has studied martial arts for more than 48 years. He has been a student of Shoji Nishio Sensei for over 40 years in both Aikido and Iaido. He had the honor to first serve as O-Sensei's uke (partner) in 1967 and then served in that capacity on several occasions in the following year. He has taught Aikido and Iaido in the United States and Mexico for the past 30 years and is the only direct student of Nishio Sensei teaching outside of Japan today.
