2026 Spring, France seminar photographs

Late April/May 2026.France begins in Paris and moves to the south of France in the second half of the year.

This year, two students from Japan joined us on the way to participate. They were stimulated by the different atmosphere and content from the regular training in Japan.

Furthermore, during this members-only intensive seminar, Dataz Fabrice JUMARIE and Éric VAUTRIN were awarded the rank of Black Belt Renshi!

Despite being completely blind, Eric has continued to practise diligently and possesses remarkable sensitivity. This was also noted by Sensei Akuzawa.

Dataz has visited Japan and taken part in training sessions at the Tokyo headquarters, and he is devoting himself wholeheartedly to his training with the Aunkai.

Please continue to strive for excellence!

2026.3.21(sat) Aunkai Spring Open Seminar

At our school, we refer to the martial arts system developed through body-awareness training and the refinement of internal function (internal power / naigong) as Internal Movement Martial Arts.

This method of body usage connects deeply with the principles found in Aiki-based techniques and the close-contact skills of Chinese martial arts, and it can also be effectively applied to striking techniques.

In this seminar, we will focus on the core principles behind these body techniques and offer participants a hands-on experience of them.

The seminar is open to everyone—from complete beginners to active practitioners and experienced martial artists.
Please feel free to join us.
