History |
|
| |
Yama Arashi is based in Brussels, Belgium where Tony Thielemans
sensei - 6th Dan Aikido and 4th Dan Judo - established the Belgian
Ecole d'art Martiaux Japonais Yama Arashi, in 1959. Thielemans
sensei originally studied Judo and competed in many competitions
before starting Aikido. It is due to his Judo background that
he chose the name "Yama Arashi" which when translated
into English means ‘storm on a mountain’ and is
an old Daito-Ryu Aiki-jujutsu technique, famously used by Shiro
Saigo, a judo player, while studying with Jigoro Kano sensei. |
