Seigo Okamoto is the founder of Aikijujutsu Daitoryu Roppokai. Before starting his Roppokai branch Seigo Okamoto was the leading student of the late Sensei Kodo Horikawa of Kodokai.
“If you master aiki, you will be able to apply the techniques using very minimal force. A calm spirit and settled breathing are necessary. At the same time the body must be supple.”

Okamoto Sensei, I pray\wish for you a successful recovery. I’m a new student in the Florida Roppokai Study Group, under Howard Popkin Sensei. The art in a few words is unbelivable. I want to personally thank you for all your years of practice you’ve put into the art and for being kind enough to teach others and especially outsiders. Thank you sir.
