Join us this summer for a 3-day world-class training opportunity at the new International Training Center in Tigard, OR. The camp immediately precedes the Junior Olympics and will feature top level instruction and randori with other athletes and champions from both the US and Japan.  US Judo will be sending athletes to the event and each day will feature a morning (9 - 11:30am) and evening session (6 - 8:30am) with opportunities for touring Portland or just relaxing during the afternoons.  The morning sessions will be reserved for juniors (ages 6-12) and our event sessions will be for adults and advanced juniors.  If your goal is to maximize your time training, you have the option of participating in an open mat from 1:30 - 3pm each day.

Our camp this year will feature Mr. Yasuyuki Muneta, 2x World Champion and 3x Asian Champion, and Ms. Megumi Tachimoto, World Silver Medallist and 3x Paris Grand Slam Champion.

Join us for a seminar this August with Mr. Tadayuki Satoh, 7th Dan Shihan at Waseda University. Mr. Satoh has been at our dojo two previous times and he is one of the most popular instructors we have ever hosted due to his immense knowledge and his teaching style. Mr. Satoh is one of the world’s leading Aikido and Judo experts and our seminar will feature the techniques and counters of Tomiki Aikido as well as teaching “lost judo techniques” originally taught by Kano. Mr. Satoh will also discuss and demonstrate the connections between Judo and Tomiki Aikido. 

Satoh Tadayuki Sensei is one of the world’s leading experts of Tomiki-style aikido. He studied directly with Tomiki Kenji Sensei, founder of the Japan Aikido Association, in the living room of his house, and later at Waseda University. In 2007, Satoh Sensei was granted the position of Shihan of Waseda University Aikido club, a position that had been vacant since Professor Tomiki’s death in 1979. Additionally, he teaches aikido at the Japan Police University, and international seminars in the Americas, Europe and throughout Japan.

The Sato Shizuya Sensei Memorial Seminar is an annual event dedicated to philosophical and technical aspects of Nihon Jujutsu, as well as a celebration of our founder’s life and teachings.
