 Tai Ki Kenpo
Tai Ki ken or Great Ki Boxing is a universal oriental 'fighting art', devellopped by headmaster Sawai Kenichi. Because of it's Chinese wushu (Yi-Chuan) and Japanese budo-background it forms an unique blend of nei-chia (internal) and wai-chia (external) -Budo.

TaiKi stimulates our personal and universal 'yuan-chi'...which can only be experienced and devellopped by personal ki-training.
Under guidance of a good teacher one can learn how to move, feel, think and act spontaneously and freely....in order to stay healthy, move like a master and defend yourself adequately.


Let us first make clear our aims where we go for in TaiKi:

We want students -under good guidance- to learn how to develop and use their yuan-chi, in order to master it and:
o through TaiKiKen Ki-training we want to achieve and sustain a good mental and physical health and fitness ( Chi kung /Yang Sheng kong)

o to learn the correct use and control of our ‘yuan-chi'
in every day life as well in the fighting arts
o to move finally without hindrances and spontaneously in the Tai-Ki way of moving (mastermoving)
o to be able to act, move, feel and think free without
hindrances and to be able to express our intentions optimally (Yi-training) and to be fully ourself
o Tai-Ki-Kenpo wants to be a means towards personal growth and personality education
o to be able to defend oneself adequately and be able to fight efficiently (budo and wushu aspects)
o with Tai Ki we want to deepen the insight in the own martial culture especially and deepen the insight in and make transfer to other (martial) cultures in general.

As given to me by master Sawai Kenichi as his direct student since 1967 and appointed Kyoshi Master-Teacher and TaiKiKen Hanshi.

Intn.FEKAM KarateTeachers Seminar France 24-25 march 2012
Daan Dirkson: When it was not expected at all, our dear Kyosi got surprised by sensei Gruss' initiative to honor him. We just saw 20+ karateka's got their certificate for 2th dan and up to even 8th dan, when monsieur Gilbert et le president de Fédération Européenne de Karaté Do et d'Arts Martiaux Traditionnels invited our unsuspecting teacher to grant him with a ninth dan certificate. They saved the very best for last! Congratulations Sensei Kallenbach! Sensei Gruss and Sensei Kallenbach are old opponents but became good friends and stayed in contact all those years. Both with great Budo heart and mind have made a indelible contribution to the world of Martial Arts, hence the award to our Sensei during this special event. Over 230 karate teachers and assistant teachers joined together in Amberieu en Bugey near Lyon to train with Sensei's Gruss, Bigot and Kallenbach. Different lectures were given to inspire the mainly black belt Karateka's from 8 different country's (France, Netherlands, Morocco, Belgium, Germany, Swiss, Algeria and Canada), varied by a live Budo-paint session and a Japanese drum show. The contribution of our Tai Ki ryū was very well received and created new possibilities for many of the participants in the way they look at movement in general and move in their Martial Art in specific as they told us in their feedback afterwards. This was also due to their own openness and great effort they put in to this weekend. Combined with very nice weather and a great organization this Seminaire des Professeurs d'Arts Martieux was a great success and a honor for me to be a part of. Thank you Jan. I will post some pictures for illustration. Onegai Shimasu, — with Jan Kallenbach.

A most valuable meeting in Japan with the TaiKi Kyoshi Seniors in june 2010.

We had a very stimulating experience in the summer of 2004 when a European TaiKi delegation of six visited Japan to make acquaintance with the most famous TaiKi sensei.

In the meantime I went in 2007 once more with wife and daughter... also to tighten the ties with our Japanse TaiKi friends...but recently I went alone and I had several reasons for it.

This time I wanted to have good meetings and deeper talks with especially Sato sensei, Iwama sensei and Takagi Yasuhide, who runs the vast biggest TaiKi dojo in Japan and is a young promising organizer.

We dicussed the level of organisation and the responsability of  teachers for the building of their best students, and logically also the best way to do this. Our classical Menkyo grading is just one part of it.
For this moment I can say as most important, that the Teachers gave us in Europe full autorisation to continue the way we do it now!
As a token of confirmation I received an original stamp called 'hanko' with the writing:
Tai Ki Kenpo European Honbu which has to be used on all our official papers and certificates, indicating this paper contains the approval of full autorized Kyoshi teachers and has the full support of the Kyoshi Senior Teachers in Japan...who speak and act out of the name of Sawai soshi.

This what I for the moment can tell about the result of my trip. Maybe you can imagine I feel deeply honoured with this confidence the Teachers put in me and Marshall sensei's work.
So I bow... and say only 'onegai shimasu'

my last meeting with the TaiKi group, the Renshi and Kyoshi meeting at Ikebukuro 26-06-2010

the Place where it all started in 1967... the Meiji Jingu, with the traditinal mon-entrance gate....in this park Sawai sensei had a special  place where he trained early morning... and I found him.
