Nasukawa Tenshin started karate at the age of 5. . . . And he began kickboxing with the influence of watching K-1 on television at elementary school 6th grade.

Kenichi Sawai began transmitting his art at the end of his learning of Yi Quan in 1947 in Japan. Among his most famous students was his long time friend Mas Oyama, whose friendship went back to their University Judo days, as well as Oyama’s top student, Hatsuo Royama, who became one of Sawai Sensei’s top students as well. Hatsuo Royama is the current Kancho (Director) of the Kyokushin-kan International Honbu, one faction of the International Karate Organization (IKO) founded by Mas Oyama. Because of this, Taikiken attracted many budoka, particularly from Kyokushinkai Karatedo.
