Today, I write about ” Strongest martial artist”.
His name is Shioda Gozo.
He was Japanese master of aikido.
His height is 155 cm and weight is 45 kg.
1931, He was a third dan at judo and just a snob at age of 16.
His father took Gozo to the exercise hall of aikido at age of 18.
The founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba was there.
Gozo thought that Ueshiba’s exercise was faked situation , seeing Ueshiba’s exercise.
Gozo challenges Ueshiba, however, he was knocked down in the instant.
Gozo entered Ueshiba’s training school next day.
Gozo studied Ueshiba’s quick movement.
And he also studied quick movement of the goldfish for eight years.
He got the superhuman quick movement.
1955,Gozo founded the Yoshinkan style of aikido.
1957, Gozo developed the Senshusei course, an intensive aikido training program,for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
1961, Ueshiba promoted Shioda Gozo to the rank of 9th dan.
1962, Robert Kennedy visited Gozo with the Security Police.
Robert Kennedy’s Security Police challenged Gozo.
Gozo made the big man give up as if catch a spider.
Robert Kennedy’s Security said , I am not eating breakfast.

1994, Shioda Gozo died at age of 78.
Aikido does not have match.
There is no thought “knock out” in aikido.
Gozo’s pupil asked him.
What is the most powerful technique among aikido?
Gozo said.
It’s to make friends with the person who tried to kill me.
He is called strongest martial artist.
