                                     TAIKI-SHISEI-KENPO = TAIKIKEN

  

   

 Taikiken, also known as Taiki-shisei-kenpo, is a Japanese martial art form founded by Soshi Kenichi

 Sawai.  This system is based upon Chinese hand to hand combat form known as  ”Chuan-fa ” or

 ”Kempo” (Japanese), and is especially influenced by Grand Master Wang Xiangzhai  system 

 Yiquan, also known as Dachengquan. 

 

 Today in Japan Kyoshi Yoshimichi Sato in Yuki, Ibaraki-ken is very active with Taikiken following

 very  closely the teachings of Sawai sensei as is Kyoshi Norimasa Iwama in Bushi, these two being

 the main leaders for the spreading interest for Taikiken in Japan along with  Sensei Seiji Sato,

 Sensei Kashimura, Sensei Yasuhide Takagi.

 

                    Here in Europe the group who have been direct students to Sawai Sensei, is not so large:  

 Kyoshi Jan Kallenbach from Amsterdam and leader for Taikiken in Europe,

 Jean-Luc Lesueur, France, Wiert Postema,Utrecht,Holland, Ron Nansink Holland,

 and Marshall McDonagh, Sweden. 

 These teachers are active today, following the example and inspiration of sensei.

 

 In the summer of 2006, the first European Taikiken training camp was held. At that time Taikiken

 European Federation was founded by Kyoshi Jan Kallenbach from the Netherlands,

 Kyoshi Marshall McDonagh Sweden, Kyoshi Jean-Luc Lesueur and

 Renshi Jacques Legree from France.
