Tohei Sensei tends to understate the contributions he received from his teachers. Over the years I have gotten a lot more respect for Tempu Nakamura who was totally obscured 10-15 years ago before the internet...
Part of the reason people might feel this way is because his book on his two teachers Morihei Ueshiba and Tempu Nakamura was never translated into English.



My Teachers
by Koichi Tohei
1999, Hardback, 197 pages

In this book Tohei Sensei discusses in great depth the ideas, philosophies, and teachings of his two main teachers, Morihei Ueshiba and Tempu Nakamura.

Ueshiba Sensei was, of course, the founder of Aikido. Nakamura Sensei was the founder of TempuKai which teaches mind and body unification.

Books by K. Tohei that haven't been translated into English

It is not practice that makes perfect, it is correct practice that makes perfect.
