Tamura Shihan
(b. 2 March 1933). 8th dan Aikikai. B. Osaka Prefecture. Entered the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO as an UCHIDESHI c. 1953. Tamura was one of the favorite UKE of Morihei UESHIBA and is seen in many films being thrown by the founder. In 1964, Tamura was dispatched by the Aikikai to France (Marseille). In 1973, along with Hiroo MOCHIZUKI and André NOCQUET, he created a "national method" as a means of improving and standardizing technical quality in France. Over the years he has acquired a large following and is the leading figure in the FÉDÉRATION FRANÇAISE D'AIKIDO ET DE BUDO. Tamura travels extensively and has established affiliated dojos and sister organizations in such countries as Italy, West Germany, the U. K. , Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden. He thus wields tremendous influence in Europe in both technical and organizational areas. Tamura was awarded the "Chevalier de l'ordre National du mérite" in 1999. He is the author of several books in French on aikido. (Credits: Encyclopedia of Aikido - S. Pranin)
