ANTONINO CERTA SHIHAN

I begun studying martial arts at the age of 15, studying simultaneously Aikido (under the senior Japanese European Masters of that time, and Karate under Hiroshi Shirai Sensei. I then studied Kendo for 5 years. I subsequently begun regular training in Japan over long periods in Abashiri, Hokkaido at the dojo of the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, as an uchi-deshi of the late Soke Takeda Tokimune. After I have studied with the best elderly students of Tokimune: Sano, Kato and Arisawa Shihan. In Abashiri I have received the qualification of Shihan.
