Skills gained from them he managed to smoothly include into his own specific aikido style where all techniques can be performed with the wooden sword bokken in hand as well as without weapons, and his weapon systems has few similarities to the more common system that derives from morihiro saito. He held the title of an aikikai shihan and created a new school of iaido with forms from aikido, called aiki toho iaido or nishio-ryu iai.
