Katsuyuki Kondō


Katsuyuki Kondō is a Japanese martial artist. He received Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu Kyōju Dairi from Tokimune Takeda in 1974. Kondo is an authority on jujutsu and calligraphy.
In 1988, Takeda Tokimune appointed Kondo Katsuyuki, then the head of all Tokyo Daito-ryu Aikibudo Branches, to be both Representative of the Headmaster and Director of the Overseas Headquarters in regard to Daito-ryu Aikibudo. That same year, Tokimune granted Kondo the menkyo kaiden certificate in Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, thus formally passing on the Main Line Daito-ryu tradition.
