Kodo Horikawa Aiki DVD with Shudai Makita - Authentic Japanese Martial Arts Training for Self-Defense & Spiritual Growth

Witness the unparalleled Aiki of Kodo Horikawa, the pinnacle of Daito-ryu.

The video captures the astonishing training scenes of Kodo Horikawa in his 80s, where his body seems to freeze opponents at bizarre angles as if influenced by magnetic force. Even when gripped simultaneously by three people, he effortlessly ensnares them with unseen power.

Shudai Makita, former head of the Tokyo Headquarters of the Kodo Horikawa School, provides insightful commentary on this "Immortal Master of Aiki" who left an indelible mark in the history of Daito-ryu.
