Step-by-step online courses for safe, structured, and fun practice.
Tomtricks is a project about learning movement - especially Aikido Ukemi and Tricking, which are martial-arts-inspired forms of acrobatics. It’s for people who enjoy martial arts and want to build their skills step by step.
The courses combine clear explanations, gradual progressions, and a realistic, structured approach to learning. Whether you’re an Aikido practitioner, a martial artist, or simply curious about movement — this is a place to learn safely and consistently.
I’m Thomas Inauen, originally from Switzerland and now living in Tokyo, Japan, where I train Aikido at Hombu Dōjō - the world headquarters of Aikido. I’ve been practicing Aikido since 2001 and exploring Tricking, a blend of martial arts and acrobatics, for many years as well.
Through Tomtricks, I share what I’ve learned from both worlds: the precision and calm of Aikido, and the creativity and freedom of Tricking. My goal is to make learning movement clear, structured, and safe, to help people improve step by step and enjoy their training for many years to come.
