Yamada Sensei is truly a remarkable and technically beautiful aikidoka and martial artist in general. I had the honor of taking a beating from him at Red Bank Aikikai's grand reopening seminar, where he used Karen Depaola's elbow (5th Dan) to catch me in the eye three times so I wouldn't leave the elbow in front of my face. It was painful, but I have yet to make said mistake since.

Onegaishimasu!

[Aur0rah]

aikikai is chracteristically not the most fluent aikido but still this is very nicely done.

[rlirov]

i think you mean "fluid", and i agree, most of the aikidoka looking for harder, more directly connected form of aikido usually gravitate towards the aikikai. I myself teach jujitsu at Rutgers University and deshi for one of Yamada-sensei's old students, having found the differences unique and yet somehow things seem inexorably linked. Aikido is truly a remarkable and beautiful art from both a practical and aesthetic point of view.

[Aur0rah]

its confusing because of this , because sometimes it seems that it is difuse what aikido is the one used.. the aikido i know does not do unnesecary pressure or power also its elegance thats my aikido .

[maheshwarananda]

yeah, cool to see some classic instructional video from a yamada sensei? tell me was it some 15-20 yrs. back, are they still teaching the same movements?

[AikikaiAikido]

I think it was 1993 and the technique is still the same.

[Thorondorion]

Awesome video! Yamada sensei has wonderful movements! For students from other "schools" of Aikido (with different kyu techniques and requirements) it's amazing to have the oportunity to expand our knowledge of the art, and learn from one of the greatest masters in the world.

Anyway, who is the uke? I've a feeling about him, but i'm not sure.

Keep uploading!

Donovan Waite Sensei

[moralapostel]

This has got to be one of the most conditioned Ukes i have seen in a long time. I think he could make a 4th kyu look just as good as Yamada Sensei in this video.

[Rufian1976994]

When Yamada Sensei was uchideshi in Tokio, O Sensei was living in Iwama. He saw him sometimes in demostrations, etc, but he was uchideshi in Hombu Dojo, which was Kisshomaru's dojo.

A lot of uchideshis in Hombu Dojo were, but they didn't be O Sensei's uchideshis because O Sensei was living in Iwama, and sometimes travelled to Tokio, Shingu, etc, etc.

[AikikaiAikido]

Well Yamada himself says to be more than 10 years a uchideshi of O'Sensei so - to me it doesn't matter because he is and will be a great teacher.

[Rufian1976994]

Direct student of O Sensei for more than 10 years?! Where?! In Iwama?! He was student of Kishomaru, not O Sensei!!!

[AikikaiAikido]

A just several years old Yoshimitsu has had contact with O-Sensei for the first time even before the trip to Korea during a martial arts presentation in Abe family home. This meeting made an unforgettable impression on him. He reminiscences, as if it were today: a nice, calm, elderly man O-Sensei seemed to be at first glance, become someone completely different on the mat - an uncatchable and mysterious master of martial arts.

[AikikaiAikido]

This meeting probably had influenced the decision of an eighteen year old Yoshimitsu, who in 1955 decided to join the Hombu Dojo as an ushi-deshi.This was thanks to a recommendation of Tadashi Abe, as the young adept has never before trained martial arts. His first day as an uchi-deshi was at the same time his first day on the mat. He immediately made friends with sempai Nabuyoshi Tamura and Sadateru Arikawa.

Hombu Dojo was at that time a completely different place as it is nowadays.

[AikikaiAikido]

House of family Ueshiba belonged to the dojo, and Morihei himself quite often, although irregularly, appeared on the mat. OSensei presented unequalled authority for all the uchi-deshi. With his demeanor he impersonated all the qualities a young Japanese used to strive for at the time.
