Instructor Details

Inauen Thomas

Hi, my name is Thomas Inauen. I practice Aikido and also like to do Martial Arts Acrobatics Tricking or a nice sweaty workout. I'm originally from Switzerland, but now also live in Tokyo, Japan.

I create videos to help with learning Aikido ukemi and acrobatic movements in martial arts. I would say they are mainly "instructional videos", but actually what I want is to give inspiration as well as guidance.

Aikido and gymnastics have always been my great passion and I would like to share my knowledge and fascination with you. I love helping people with learning new movements and improve their fitness.

Thank you for stopping by!
