The techniques of Master Shioda Gozo were known for their "refreshing techniques," rooted in the power of "central force." This central force is the energy that maintains the center line, which runs vertically through the human body. By mastering this central force, which is the essence of various martial arts, one can regain natural sensibilities.
This martial arts essay for the 21st century, written by Yoshinkan Aikido Dragon Ando Tsuneo, explores these concepts. The accompanying book, "Self-defense Techniques - The Essence of Yoshinkan Aikido, Learned from the Basics," provides detailed explanations and teachings of Shioda Gozo's techniques with photographs.

Born in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture in 1956, Ando Tsuneo began his Aikido training with the Aikikai club at Tokushima University. After graduation, he worked for a trading company before joining Yoshinkan as an apprentice, promising the late headmaster Gozo Shioda that he would "become a master or expert." After 20 years of training, Ando experienced a mystical revelation about the secret of Aiki, "central power," which elevated his capabilities. In 1996, he established his independence and currently presides over Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture. Known for his fundamental-focused training system and clear instruction, Ando is highly respected by his students, attracting many international practitioners. Besides regular classes, he actively engages in community outreach, teaching at elementary schools and conducting self-defense courses. He continues to explore Aikido's theory and principles through extensive training.
