Pierre Chassang (1919 – 29 April 2013) was a French aikidoka holding 8th dan Takemusu Aiki Intercontinental and 6th dan Aikikai.[1]
A member of the Free French Forces during World War II, Chassang saw military service in North Africa, Italy and his native France.[2]
Chassang was first taught aikido by Tadashi Abe in 1952. When Abe returned to Japan in 1960, Chassang helped Masamichi Noro to create the Association Culturelle Européenne d'Aikido.[3] He subsequently studied with Mutsuro Nakazono and Nobuyoshi Tamura, with whom he had a long and close alliance.
Chassang was a founding member of the International Aikido Federation, which he served as General Treasurer for several years. He was President of European Aikido Federation from 1981-1987. With Philippe Voarino, he also founded the Takemusu Aiki Intercontinental association.[2]
Chassang died in April 2013, at the age of 94. Aikido Arma di Taggia Bushido Ryu has dedicated the dojo to him in 2018 (Giuseppe Annovazzi is the Dojo Cho).[2][4]
At the end of his life Pierre Chassang wrote a Book about Aikido that has been published privately: "Aikido - Dis-nous c'è que tu Sais!". This book was translated into English with the author's permission as "Aikido - Tell us what you know!" by Paul Mitton of Furo Ryu Aikido in Bath, England.
