One of the key points in Daitoryu and the principle of “Aiki“ is to render the opponents attack powerless in an instant and to win without fighting. The leader of this organization is Kondo Katsuyuki, one of the few high-ranking students of Takeda Tokimune, Takeda Sokaku’s successor and third son. The Daito Ryu is famous for being one of the main base of Morihei Ueshiba’s Aikido. -- Practitioners: -- Kondo Katsuyuki Kondo Masayuki Amano Shizuo
