He started Aikido at the age of 11 and is now one of the biggest influences in the International Aikido community. Willing to get to the roots of his art, he embarked in the trans-Siberian train at the age of 18 for a journey to Japan, and started to train at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo where he stayed 7 years, honing his skills and learning the language and culture of Japan. Now, at the age of 67, he gives seminar all around the globe throughout the year, including Japan. It is on one of those occasions that he offered us the opportunity to sit together in the legendary Butokuden of Kyoto, to talk about his personal relation to Aikido for over an hour. Is it important to practice in Japan? What can we learn by practicing in Japan? How important is it to study the Kihon? Those are the questions Christian Tissier answers in this 6th part. -- SOURCES -- Aikido Journal's archives: https://aikidojournal.com/ Aikido Initiation Sedirep: https://amzn.to/2L3FdrE Facebook page of Christian Tissier Shihan: https://goo.gl/KCVqgg Seigo Yamaguchi in Paris: https://goo.gl/8omB7V Website of Didier Boyet: https://goo.gl/UzL8mY Facebook page of Greg O’Connor: https://goo.gl/m4VasN Nobuyoshi Tamura - Seiichi Sugano, Nobuyoshi Tamura & Yoshimitsu Yamada at the Hombu Dojo: https://goo.gl/pK4fou Kisshomaru Ueshiba with Masamichi Noro & Nobuyoshi Tamura: https://goo.gl/xbZH93 Christian Tissier Aikido Application: https://goo.gl/fD59ZY Insurrections in Japan: https://goo.gl/ivxjSE -- CREDITS -- Director: Jordy Delage Editing & Camera: Jordy Delage & Nicolas Nothum Music: Senbazuru - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) CC 3.0 Narrator: Brian Kamei Translation & subtitles: Naoko Mikami, Nicolas Roskams, Jordy Delage, Jean-François Rauch,周彥博 (ZH) & Sung Ju-hwan (KO) With special thanks to the renovation team for its innovative drilling musical arrangement. -- SOCIAL NETWORKS -- Facebook:   / seidoshop.international   Twitter:   / seidoshopint   G+: https://plus.google.com/+Seidoshop #ChristianTissier #BudoStudies #BudoInterviews
