Aikido Friendship Seminar
Tom Dijkman
5th Dan Aikikai Amsterdam
Cape Town, 17 - 19 October 2014

Tom Dijkman Sensei

Tom Dijkman, 5th Dan, has his dojo in Amsterdam, Holland.

His Aikido is formed by his teacher Wilko Vriesman (Amsterdam) and by Christian Tissier (Paris). His main influence at this moment is Yasuno Masatoshi, 8th Dan Hombu dojo and, of course, Christian Tissier Sensei.

Tom continues to explore in his Aikido. He travels every year to Japan for inspiration and practice.

The atmosphere on the mat is always fruitful, open minded and concentrated. He works with a sense of deep irimi and compelling contact, entering towards the partner's centre, while keeping the action free from force or friction.
