Kenji Tokitsu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Kenji Tokitsu is also the name of an actor.
Dr. Kenji Tokitsu is a noted author and practitioner of Japanese martial arts, who has also written scholarly works on a number of subjects such as Musashi Miyamoto; he holds doctorates in sociology and in Japanese language and civilization.
A practitioner of Shotokan karate since youth, Tokitsu started his own school, the Shaolin-mon ("door to Shaolin"; compare the Mumonkan) school in Paris (where he had taught Shotokan karate since 1973) in 1983. The Shaolin-mon teachings were a hybrid of Tokitsu's dissatisfaction with Shotokan karate combined with what he learned of Chinese martial arts. Still later, he founded the Tokitsu-ryu Academy in 2001.
