2026年10月25日東京都中央区スポーツセンターにて総務長近藤勝之先生をお迎えして全国大東流合気柔術演武大会が開催されました。またご参列いただきました関係者の皆様暑く御礼申し上げます。

元々大東流合気柔術本部演武大会は先師時宗先生の時代から66回を数えています。近年勝浦合宿の最終日に多くの海外の門下生と共に行われております。大東流本部として最重要な大会でもあり今後も本部大会として当然開催されてまいります。

大東流合気柔術は1万１千ともいわれる多くの技で構成され基本技だけでも１か条から５か条まで１１８本裏表で構成されています。基本技の全体像を一度は見たいとの要望が門下生から数多くありました。また先師時宗先生時代より行われていた一刀流の演武も併せて行いたいとの要望もあり、それらの要望を踏まえて今回全国大会として新たに開催いたしました。

日常の稽古では１か条の中心の稽古になりがちですが、初めて見る２・３・４・５か条そして初めて見る得物捕の技を目を食い入るように見ていた門下生も多くいました。一刀流の激しい剣捌きを始めて観て目を白黒している門下生も散見されました。
見ることにより目が養われ、演ずることによって腹が鍛えられ、大会がそれぞれの門下生の皆様の技量向上になったことを祈っています。

将来的には地方支部主催に全校を巡回する予定でもあります。ご協力の程お願い申し上げます。
ご指導いただきました総務長先生、準備頂きました実行委員の皆様に感謝申し上げます。

On October 25, 2026, the National Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu Demonstration  was held at the Chuo City Sports Center in Tokyo, with  Katsuyuki Kondo sensei in attendance. We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who attended.

The Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu Headquarters Demonstration Tournament has a long history, now reaching its 66th iteration—a tradition that began during the era of the late Master Tokimune. In recent years, it has been held on the final day of the Katsuura training camp, joined by many students from overseas. As the most significant event for the Daito-ryu headquarters, it will continue to be held as a core headquarters tournament.

Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu comprises a vast repertoire—said to include as many as 11,000 techniques—with the fundamental techniques alone consisting of 118 forms (categorized into *Ikajo* through *Gokajo*, each with *omote* and *ura* variations). Many students expressed a desire to see the full scope of these fundamental techniques. Additionally, there were requests to include demonstrations of *Itto-ryu*—a tradition practiced since the time of the late Master Tokimune. In response to these wishes, we organized this new national-level tournament.

While daily training often focuses primarily on *Ikajo*, many students watched with rapt attention as they encountered *Nikajo*, *Sankajo*, *Yonkajo*, and *Gokajo*—as well as *emono-dori* (techniques for disarming opponents wielding weapons)—for the first time. Some students were visibly stunned upon witnessing the intense sword maneuvers of *Itto-ryu*.
It is our hope that by observing, students will refine their discernment, and by performing, they will strengthen their inner core (*hara*); we trust that this tournament has contributed to the technical advancement of every participant.

Looking ahead, we plan to have local branches host the tournament, rotating it across different regions. We ask for your continued cooperation.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Soumucho sensei for his guidance, and to the members of the executive committee for their hard work in preparing for this event.
