Senta Yamada was born in Fukuoka, Japan in 1924.
As a Graduate of Kobe Marine University he began to practice Judo in middle school, and received his 1st Dan at the age of 16.
He became an outstanding competitive judoka, eventually reaching the rank of 6th Dan under the founder of Judo, Dr Jigaro Kano.
Yamada sensei’s name appears along side the famous in the historic Sekiryu Kan Dojo, as one who completed the session of 1000 throws.
Dr Kano sent Yamada sensei to study Aikido with Morihei Ueshiba Sensei after the war. As a live-in student he began private training with the founder in Wakayama Prefecture.
Yamada sensei later returned to Tokyo where he met and began training with Professor Kenji Tomiki whose approach and training system in Aikido had a major influence on his thinking.
Through his training and association with these great men, Yamada Sensei has obtained knowledge and insights into the art of Aikido and Judo that few, if any, persons have today. Yamada Sensei’s mastery of the art, his efficient and powerful body movement and his natural teaching ability is inspirational.
