Welcome! I produce exclusive documentaries and interviews with the greatest Aikido masters, as well as videos of other martial arts, directly from Japan.
I began practicing budo in France at age six and later moved to Tokyo to train intensively at Aikikai Hombu Dojo, serving as uke for many leading instructors. After ten years of apprenticeship, I founded my own dojo in Yokohama and was promoted to 6th dan by Ueshiba Moriteru Doshu. I serve on the board of the Kanagawa Prefecture Aikido Federation and teach seminars in Japan and internationally.
I am the official representative outside Japan of Chiba Tsugutaka Shihan (Takumakai / Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu), and have trained and promoted Daito-ryu black belts in France.
I also write extensively on martial arts in Japan and abroad, including collaborative work with Tissier Shihan. I hold an MSc in Education Sciences and a PhD in Molecular Biology.
