James Williams Sensei is the Kaicho of Nami
Ryu Aiki Heiho. With over 50 years of martial experience,
James’ love of samurai martial traditions came
with his study of the Yanagi ryu of the Yoshida han under
Don Angier Sensei and the martial traditions of the Kuroda
han as taught by Kuroda Tetsuzan Sensei. James also studied Daito ryu Roppokai with
Okamoto Seigo sensei.
Nami ryu is based on the ancient armed and unarmed martial arts that were the
exclusive secret of the Samurai nobility. Later these arts formed the basis of modern
arts including Brazilian Jujitsu and Aikido.
