Mr. Stenudd..I know that you are a student of the great Shoji Nishio Shihan...I know that he was very skilled in many other arts and actually believed that Aikido should be effective against all other budos...just out of curiousity...did Nishio Shihan ever accept challenges like Shioda and O'Sensei himself?

@aikiboy24 Well, I don't know of any particular anecdote, but I know he was very experienced in other martial arts even before starting aikido. He was high grade in both judo and karatedo. So, he was quite used to applying his techniques against other martial artists.

@Aikidostenudd His sword work is excellent as well.
