Aoki Hiroyuki is 82 years old and lives between Tokyo and Yokohama. Through the rigorous practice of Kenbu Tenshin Ryu, a martial art he developed, master Aoki is connected with nature in total harmony. He allows each one of his students to develop a direct bond with nature and the universe, feeling the interconnectivity between us all, and allowing everyone to find their true self. Bringing the spiritual back to the physical, he opens a gateway to a timeless place where the body becomes a temple of life. Master Aoki has made the conscious choice of creating balance and harmony within urban spaces and its inhabitants.
