This sensei was one of the characters in the book "Angry White Pyjamas". The author of this book relates his experience of going through the intense 1-year aikido training course (culminating in a black belt) that is done by the Tokyo police.
Intense stuff and looks like it's accessible to new learners as techniques are broken into memorizeable postures and steps.
