Leo Tamaki Bio:
Leo Tamaki is a prominent figure in the martial arts community, particularly known for his contributions to Aikido. Born to a Japanese father and a French/Croatian mother, Tamaki's multicultural background has significantly influenced his approach to martial arts. He began his martial arts journey with Judo at the age of six, later exploring Kung-Fu, Karate, and Full Contact before discovering Aikido at the age of 21.
Tamaki's Aikido training began under the guidance of Nobuyoshi Tamura, a notable Aikido master. In 1998, he moved to Japan to train at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, a central hub for Aikido practitioners. After returning to France in 2001, he opened a martial arts equipment business and started a martial arts blog. He returned to Japan in 2007 for further training and eventually committed to teaching Aikido full-time.
Leo Tamaki is the founder of Kishinkai Aikido, a school that has expanded to include 35 dojos across 12 countries. His practice is influenced by several martial arts masters, including Tamura Nobuyoshi in Aikido, Hino Akira in Hino Budo, Kuroda Tetsuzan in Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu, and Kono Yoshinori in Kobujutsu.
In addition to his teaching, Tamaki is actively involved in promoting martial arts through events like "La nuit des Arts Martiaux Traditionnels" and his magazine "YASHIMA," which specializes in martial arts. He conducts Aikido classes in Paris and travels extensively to teach and share his knowledge across Europe and beyond.
