I guess I have to settle on the fact that I don't know how important a factor Tomita sensei was for early spread of Saito sensei's aikido in Europe... but I know that it is underestimated.

Anyway, I didn't start this thread to promote Tomita sensei, whom I've never trained for, only watched his training once and seen some of his students. I am still interested in more early spread of Saito lineage aikido in Europe, so if anyone has more to say - please do.
