Born in Tokyo within a former Samurai family with roots from Tsushima Island, Tada first studied his family's style of archery (Heki-Ryū Chikurin-ha Ban-pa) under his father in the family's house in Jiyūgaoka. [1] He then became a member of the Waseda University karate club before starting training in aikido at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo under aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba in March 1950. [1] He was dispatched to Rome, Italy, in 1964 where he established the Italian Dojo Centrale in 1967, [2] and the national association Aikikai d'Italia in 1970.

To supplement aikido training, he has developed a system of breathing and meditative exercises called ki no renma (気の錬磨, cultivation of ki) based largely on the teachings of Nakamura Tempu and the Ichikukai Dojo. [2] [7]
