When I first began Aikido, I was taking falls with my bad grasp on Unkemi (The methods of taking falls) and good god was I, either, injured or very close to being injured.
The big moves make it look fake but those are so that the fallers do not break on contact and can actually have a life after the demonstration while still showing the full swing of the technique.
PS: I feel like I missed out so much having not known about the man when he was alive.
(again, continued from the comment below) So, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice where the power iscoming from. I think that is one reason why the "uke (the opponent)" can't let go his hand. However, this is only one persons opinion, so I admit other ideas as well. Also, excuse my English coz I'm Japanese!!
(continued from the comment below) If you know how heavy the thing your holding, you would know how you can balance, but if you don't know, it is very difficult to balance. Similar thing is hapenning when masters use Aikido or Budo tecniques. Usually, when people hold other people and try to push or pull, they mainly use arm muscles. but when msters use Akido tecniques, they use more inner muscles and lower half of the body.
I saw a many guestions about why the "uke (the opponent)" can't remove his hand, so I would like to share my understanding of Akido from ten years of training.
Imagine you are closing your eyes, and holding an empty bag. Then, suddenly some guy put a really heavy thing into the bag while you don't know. Do you think you can let that bag go very guickly? I think you would lose your balance because you don't know how heavy the bag is until you see it.
nice footage - and the pat metheny music was an unexpected delight!
Shioda Sensei is so great. i don't do Yoshinkan, but only because of the format of the classes. i love how each of O Sensei's students captures an aspect of him, especially so with Gozo. thank you for posting!
Мне очень понравилось видео! Спасибо!! Какой прекрасный человек этот Сиода сенсей! Можно много разглагольствовать, что лучше, а, что хуже..??! Когда знаешь не по наслышке, что такое поток ки! ...то перестаешь заниматься болтовней:)
At about 1 minute in (the nikkyo) how does he get the uke to keep hold with one hand? Or is the guy just going with it for sake of the demonstration? This clip is an absolute joy to watch, some of the best aikido I've seen, from all involved, and he's clearly having a great time lol
@acesces I love that he's having such a good time with it lol. Can you explain to me why he can't remove his hand? I'm only a few lessons into aikido and don't understand. Thanks for your answers.
@Shindai in this video 4:39, watch?v=hHh_8uQPD5E blue shuts guy says "you can remove your hand,so you can escape from aiki" but you can't remove your hand during Okamoto sensei's nage. scientist says maybe using muscle reaction.I don't understand either.but he is just TV guy so I think this is true.he don't think like,"make beautiful enbu"
My 7th dan sensei would still start panting after doing 2 on 1. Shioda sensei in the vedio was 66 years old and did not increase a bit of breathing. This is very crazily incredible...
Ive had the pleasure of seeing one of these demonstrations in person. Truly awesome. Afterward we ate authentic Japanese cuisine. That part was not so awesome. They eat some weird shit.
@xHAWAIIxOWNZx Well, there are parts where they fall on purpose due to it being a demonstration and they didn't want to disturb the flow. Especially with Shioda Gozo... You just didn't fuck with that guy. His students are also pretty hardball.
Outstanding demo that showed the highest level of control extended into the opponents! Amazingly fast footwork, good timing and excellent flows with the opponents' movements and momentum!
According to me telling that it depends all on the person and all the martial arts are equals is as telling that all the cars are equals and all depends on driver...
Then try to drive a dragster in mountain or run in Indianapolis with a Jeep
Simply you must decide what you are looking for and make your choice, but this is only my idea
@MyREDTAIL that's not hard-floor, that's a tatami...listen to the tudd they make when they fall... It's not a hard tudd like when you fall on hard-ground...
Its not a "fraud", its a part of Aikido - if the attacker lets go, the attack has ended. If there is no more attack, you dont need to defend yourself anymore. This is what makes Aikido a defensive martial art, its not like your opponent has to be pinned/thrown through the air, etc.
Btw the guy performing here is a Budo Meijin - its not like u get the highest budo rank possible for faking and frauding...
Isn't that the point? To have the attacker let go? He just as easily could have trapped his hand there, but instead he encircled his hand around to form a lock/breakaway technique. Believe it or not, there are some attackers in real life that do not let go so easily. Furthermore he's showing the aiki aspect of the technique to the audience.
lol you guys shouldnt ever underestimate this guy he fought againts 30 yakuza memebers and deafeated tham all by bringing down the leader first he also foguht in a life and death sittuation while he was in the immperial army look this guy up you see
I think, the most interesting part in aikido is its philosophy. It is very easy to hurt someone in a fight, and there are lots of methods and techniques to do so. But in aikido you try to defend without harming your opponent and that is even harder to achieve, than just hurting each other. If you do martial arts just to bet someone up, than you missed the point.
there is no best martial art...there is no technique better than another..it all depends on the person doing the technique or martial art..if a marital artist loses a fight..it doesn't mean the marital art he practices was bad..the man lost the fight not the martial art...there is always somebody out there who is better than you.

this video didn't even come to tell you how good Aikido is XD it's just a demonstration. I don't understand why are you so aggressive against it... probably because you can't accept it so you go against it. But then again nobody forces you to look at it you know.
I was privileged to train under this magnificent man (in the same dojo in the video, in Higashi Koganei on the outskirts of Tokyo, about 3 years after this video was made) and under his son in the UK. I came to aikido after many years of boxing and karate and was lucky to have seen other forms of martial arts before this - aikido requires uncommon maturity, respect, discipline and self-awareness (in addition to the physical power and timing required in other sports)..
Well... It's Aikido. If by Real Aikido you mean the Serbian MA, then no, this isnt it. This would be "Yoshinkan" Aikido, a style developed by Gozo Shioda (the little man in the Hakama), based on the hard training of the early years of aikido. It's aikido with a more practical approach.
I like indeed martial arts with a practical approach. But I ask this question to so many people, but I still don't know: Is Judo also a handy practical martial art?
I hate discussing martial arts as self defense systems. If you want something that is practical for self defense go to a self defense course. If you want something to train your body and your mind, with the ultimate goal of becoming a healthy and happy human being, find a martial art that you like and practice it.
Yes, but don't you then have to be very good at it, because I don't know yet, which I know we'll learn later, how to block somebody hitting me or kicking me.
@larbo1616 im not sure what martial art your taking but in aikido you dont really block the punch or the kick. its more about redirecting the kick or the punch. when someone punches at you they give a certen amount of energy. your job as aikidoka is to redirect the energy they give in that punch and draw them off balance. its simple physics really.
Yeah, you're right. Sometimes, in my martial art - aikibudo, we block first and then we redirect the attack. But most of the attacks we redirect. I think this is better than Kung Fu. Of course, this style is great, but the whole principle of self-defense sucks; it is indeed way better to redirect an attack than to use brutal force.
@larbo1616 im not sure how you redirect an attack if you blocked it first. if you block the punch dont you stoped the flow of energy? and kung fu is more of a dance. there isnt much power behind kung fu.
@kyle1815 No, actually not. It's the same as aikido, but a somewhat 'harder' style of it. It's derived from Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and from the teachings of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu dojo.
@kyle1815 No no, absolutely not. At difficulty level, it's the same, but it's harder in form that it's more punching and stuff. Of course, it has still the old aikido principles.
@larbo1616 actually kung fu means skill from effort and refers to anything that requares skill ie chess or martial arts what america calls kung fu is called wushu in china and in china no system was originally called kung fu shaolin kung fu was simply called shaolin there are many chinese martial arts ie shaolin wing chun choy li fut or choy lay fut hung gar chin-na and many more
@larbo1616 absolutly! judo is a very handy and practical martial art. a friend of mine was on the police force for a while. he was also highly ranked in judo. he used it all the time while on the force. i still prefer aikido but judo is good too.
@larbo1616 this is emaginary aikido onlystevin seagul uses real aikido jk he is using as little of his limbs as possable so that you understand how the main trunk of the body and their momentum do the work
I love watching these videos and then seeing the comments of angry guys who love MMAs, but have it in their mind that anything martial arts related has to be a sport... with points.
@mosel1966 "1:45秒のとこ、塩田さんスカってますよねー（笑）" I am sorry. Would you be so kind and translate what you said to English? Thank you very much. I'm sorry, I don't speak Japanese, but I would like to know what you said. Thank you.
@GaolisVideoLog He/She points out that around 1:45 Msater Shioda actually did not even touch his student but that student looked as if Shioda hang a technique. So, @mosel believed there was cheep trick or it's fake. In traditional Japanese and Chinese martial arts, some of which are real fighting arts, there are sometimes preestablished harmony between masters and students, a sort of subconcious psychological behavior.
There are photos of Shioda Sensei with Mike Tyson, and Tyson looks with fear of him, I'm not saying that all aikidokas are mighty warriors who can control Tysons or Crocops, but Sensei like Shioda were something else.
And let me guess what Akiedo(If I spelled it right) students should study. MMA right? MMA is effective,but it isnt the win all beat all martial art. No MA is and only some UFC fanboy would say otherwise.
You should keep your mouth shut if you are not willing to back it up ? I have trained in several martial arts and Yoshinkan Aikido is a great system. You have the invite to come down and see for yourself ?
But I guess it is easy to be tough and belittle other people via the internet ? it is your safety blanket.
Yea right, and you probably are a pimple faced 16 year old who has never had to fight in his life, who fantasizes about being a big tough grown-up getting the crap beat out of him in a ring & for what? Before you comment, make sure you know what you are talking about junior. I suppose that the Japanese National Riot Police & Special Diplomatic Security are sent to train with his school for one year full time because it doesn't work in combat.
Aikido is really great, do you know how long it will take to get to 8 dan in the west because i know you can get first dan in like 2-3 years so i am just curious
getting first dan in 2-3 years? i doubt it. aikido takes a VERY long time to get good at. 8th dan, id say 20+ years of study. steveuke is right. dont worry about rank, it doesnt mean much. a second degree black should make less mistakes than a first degree black belt. thats about all rank matters. so just get out there and practice like crazy. aikido is a GREAT ma. iv been doin it for a while and i love it and plan on doing it for the rest of my life.
@kyle1815 Actually, that is not completely accurate. It can be done in 11 months. It has been possible for over 50 years now through the Senshusei course that sensei Shioda started for the toyko police and became available to the public much later. But we are talking 11 months of very intense training.
@ravisdb " i know you can get first dan in like 2-3 years" Really? Where? You know, in Asia, we call martial arts like Aikido "old people martial arts", simply because it takes so long til you get good at them, that the masters are all old people. That's of course just a joke, but it takes ages to get it right nonetheless.
Every time I look Siodas shows and videos of his students I feel like they are from different schools! How could his perfect technic origin from that quite heavy and not real actions of classic aikido.
gozo shioda was one of the best aiki masters out there. a lot of folks tend to misunderstand the essence of aiki and go dancing around like fucking ferries :) shioda sensei was very technical and subtle, his style is very advanced

this video didn't even come to tell you how good Aikido is XD it's just a demonstration. I don't understand why are you so aggressive against it... probably because you can't accept it so you go against it. But then again nobody forces you to look at it you know.

this video would be much easier to witness if the editing was not switched every time the master made a "move"-
the viewer's eyes can NOT adjust to the sudden changes in zoom focus -
Much Better to simply leave the one camera run constant - instead of the one second flash to the close camera- --VERY POOR VIDEO -

I was privileged to train under this magnificent man (in the same dojo in the video, in Higashi Koganei on the outskirts of Tokyo, about 3 years after this video was made) and under his son in the UK. I came to aikido after many years of boxing and karate and was lucky to have seen other forms of martial arts before this - aikido requires uncommon maturity, respect, discipline and self-awareness (in addition to the physical power and timing required in other sports)..

Is this real Aikido, or another form of Aikido?
larbo1616 2 years ago
Well... It's Aikido. If by Real Aikido you mean the Serbian MA, then no, this isnt it. This would be "Yoshinkan" Aikido, a style developed by Gozo Shioda (the little man in the Hakama), based on the hard training of the early years of aikido. It's aikido with a more practical approach.

I like indeed martial arts with a practical approach. But I ask this question to so many people, but I still don't know: Is Judo also a handy practical martial art?
larbo1616 2 years ago
I hate discussing martial arts as self defense systems. If you want something that is practical for self defense go to a self defense course. If you want something to train your body and your mind, with the ultimate goal of becoming a healthy and happy human being, find a martial art that you like and practice it.

yes it is youll find that its practices can apply to any situation
abcb1521 2 years ago
Yes, but don't you then have to be very good at it, because I don't know yet, which I know we'll learn later, how to block somebody hitting me or kicking me.
larbo1616 2 years ago
@larbo1616 im not sure what martial art your taking but in aikido you dont really block the punch or the kick. its more about redirecting the kick or the punch. when someone punches at you they give a certen amount of energy. your job as aikidoka is to redirect the energy they give in that punch and draw them off balance. its simple physics really.
kyle1815 1 year ago
@kyle1815
Yeah, you're right. Sometimes, in my martial art - aikibudo, we block first and then we redirect the attack. But most of the attacks we redirect. I think this is better than Kung Fu. Of course, this style is great, but the whole principle of self-defense sucks; it is indeed way better to redirect an attack than to use brutal force.
larbo1616 1 year ago
@larbo1616 im not sure how you redirect an attack if you blocked it first. if you block the punch dont you stoped the flow of energy? and kung fu is more of a dance. there isnt much power behind kung fu.
kyle1815 1 year ago
@kyle1815 There is some kind of knife defense in aikibudo where you first have to block the arm and then you do a wrist lock and then let him fall.
larbo1616 1 year ago
@larbo1616 whats the disarm called? and im pretty sure kung fu turned into "art" once they figured out its so great for fighting lol
kyle1815 1 year ago
There is no point calling kung fu "some kind of dance". It was originally designed to be a fighting art, but it turned out to be more like an "art".
larbo1616 1 year ago
@larbo1616 by the way i just looked up some aikibudo videos, very nice. seems to be aikido with more judo in it. am a right?
kyle1815 1 year ago
@kyle1815 No, actually not. It's the same as aikido, but a somewhat 'harder' style of it. It's derived from Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and from the teachings of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu dojo.
larbo1616 1 year ago
@larbo1616 ah... its interesting. i like it. lol. as in harder do you mean harder to learn. because aikido is hard enough as it its..
kyle1815 1 year ago
@kyle1815 No no, absolutely not. At difficulty level, it's the same, but it's harder in form that it's more punching and stuff. Of course, it has still the old aikido principles.
larbo1616 1 year ago
@larbo1616 actually kung fu means skill from effort and refers to anything that requares skill ie chess or martial arts what america calls kung fu is called wushu in china and in china no system was originally called kung fu shaolin kung fu was simply called shaolin there are many chinese martial arts ie shaolin wing chun choy li fut or choy lay fut hung gar chin-na and many more

@larbo1616 absolutly! judo is a very handy and practical martial art. a friend of mine was on the police force for a while. he was also highly ranked in judo. he used it all the time while on the force. i still prefer aikido but judo is good too.

@larbo1616 this is emaginary aikido onlystevin seagul uses real aikido jk he is using as little of his limbs as possable so that you understand how the main trunk of the body and their momentum do the work

I love watching these videos and then seeing the comments of angry guys who love MMAs, but have it in their mind that anything martial arts related has to be a sport... with points.

@GaolisVideoLog He/She points out that around 1:45 Msater Shioda actually did not even touch his student but that student looked as if Shioda hang a technique. So, @mosel believed there was cheep trick or it's fake. In traditional Japanese and Chinese martial arts, some of which are real fighting arts, there are sometimes preestablished harmony between masters and students, a sort of subconcious psychological behavior.

There are photos of Shioda Sensei with Mike Tyson, and Tyson looks with fear of him, I'm not saying that all aikidokas are mighty warriors who can control Tysons or Crocops, but Sensei like Shioda were something else.

You should keep your mouth shut if you are not willing to back it up ? I have trained in several martial arts and Yoshinkan Aikido is a great system. You have the invite to come down and see for yourself ?
But I guess it is easy to be tough and belittle other people via the internet ? it is your safety blanket.
Have a great life you closed minded looser.

I suppose that the Japanese National Riot Police & Special Diplomatic Security are sent to train with his school for one year full time because it doesn't work in combat.

Aikido is really great, do you know how long it will take to get to 8 dan in the west because i know you can get first dan in like 2-3 years so i am just curious

Aikido is a lifetime practice/study...Do not worry about ranks and get on the mat and practice and, practice more when you don't fell like it!
steveuke 2 years ago
getting first dan in 2-3 years? i doubt it. aikido takes a VERY long time to get good at. 8th dan, id say 20+ years of study. steveuke is right. dont worry about rank, it doesnt mean much. a second degree black should make less mistakes than a first degree black belt. thats about all rank matters. so just get out there and practice like crazy. aikido is a GREAT ma. iv been doin it for a while and i love it and plan on doing it for the rest of my life.
kyle1815 2 years ago 25
yea but i think the maximum knowledge you will have with 7th dan and 8th dan like segal cause the rest are more honorable i guess

@kyle1815 Actually, that is not completely accurate. It can be done in 11 months. It has been possible for over 50 years now through the Senshusei course that sensei Shioda started for the toyko police and became available to the public much later. But we are talking 11 months of very intense training.

@ravisdb " i know you can get first dan in like 2-3 years" Really? Where? You know, in Asia, we call martial arts like Aikido "old people martial arts", simply because it takes so long til you get good at them, that the masters are all old people. That's of course just a joke, but it takes ages to get it right nonetheless.
