Taido Information
World Taido Federation Homepage
Being official, it continues to suffer from lack of meaningful content.
American Taido - National Organization Homepage
News and info on training and events in the US.
As we recently re-established an official Taido presence, this site is still new, but over time it will grow to include a complete dojo directory, info on licensed instructors, official tournaments and seminars, and other information that US-based students will find helpful.
Not much here yet, but I'm glad I finally managed to get it back.
There's no English content, but random clicking will avail you of tons of videos of various techniques and hokei. With some lucky surfing, you can treat yourself to the soothing sounds of Mr. Manji's kiai as well as the infamous Taido song. This is one of the oldest Taido pages on the 'net and a direct inspiration for Taido/Blog.
There's a good number of Taido videos on YouTube, so make sure you check them out.
Dojo Websites
This is Negishi's dojo where I practiced and taught Taido from 2003 to 2006. There isn't any English content, but there are lots of photo updates on the blog. The people in Yokohama will always be a part of some of my greatest Taido memories.
This is where I teach currently. We're part of the East Tokyo Taido Association.

Brad Appleton has done all the digging and research for you. Here is the information you should digest regarding improving your flexibility. Any instructor without a base level of education with regards to training methods is negligent at the very least. If you do not understand the information that Appleton has compiled here, you have no business giving anyone instruction in sports conditioning.
This is a shameless plug for my own company's products - because they kick serious ass. We do a variety of things, but the ones that should most interest Taido folks are our stretching and gymnastic strength training courses. My team and I coach thousands of athletes, law enforcement officers, martial artists, and regular people all over the world, so if you need help with your training, get in touch. We can help you perform the way you wish you could.
