Hey BUD:

Sounds like you are referring to Combat Aikido, right? It used to be called BOKAIDO then Combat Aikido and now TAPONDO. TAPON means throw in local Dialect and Pondo means foundation. Lit. Throwing Foundation. Not really sure about this though. Yep you are right he claims he founded the art.
