Aiki is a 2002 Japanese film about a martial artist in a wheelchair, directed and written by Daisuke Tengan. It is loosely based on the life of a Danish practitioner of the Roppokai branch of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, Ole Kingston Jensen, who started training in Daitō-ryū after he was handicapped in an accident and now is the highest ranking non-Japanese member of the Roppokai.[2]
The film premiered at the 2002 Venice Film Festival.[3]
