[Dorni2405]

8.38 min ... i am doing japanese martial arts since more than 15 years.. not aikido,but i like the way to move in aikido. BUT what i never will understand..whats the sense of moves like in 8.38 . soke holds his arm up..looks like stupid uke runs in there and smashes himself down to just make soke happy..

[roar91328]

ty so much for posting

[takashimaru]

where did u get this footage??

[TheFrancisLamache]

O-sensei est un homme du début XXe siècle. Il bêchait. Il n'avait pas des mains mais des étaux. Lorsqu'il saisissait quelqu'un, cette personne devenait particulièrement obéissante.  Il y a tant de détails qui ne peuvent être observés sur une vidéo. Ueshiba, à l'âge de 26-30 ans, n'était pas particulièrement aimable et avenant. Les maîtres vieillissent comme le vin. Il a 78 ans sur la vidéo? Merci TheophilusNorth pour cette vidéo.

[billslusser]

i understand this man & i understand how he can see those things too.

[KerryKworth]

@MrShadesky I could not agree more. I continually tell my students that earning a black belt is simply a signal that you intend to become a serious student. Even though I am a Jujitsu practitioner and instructor I have a tremendous respect for O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. He understood.

[Kenshin1080]

its hilarious how some ppl think that aikido isnt effective i bet if you throw as many punches and or kicks at any black blet he will throw you on your ass pin you and then break your arm if he or she wanted to.

[Sarva07]

@Kenshin1080 the belt often doesn't reveal the martialist. a Black belt in my town has been knocked out with one direct frontal punch only by a simple, untrained camionist

[MrShadesky]

@Kenshin1080 Black belt is the beggining of the aikido. It means nothing. Between first and second Dan, there's a world.

[Kenshin1080]

@MrShadesky I know my teachers always said that

[suissecarnifex]

Aikido the way of behaving like a stupid pet..

Attacking from a unrealistic Distance

Attacking like a total morron, attack and freeze, ore worse run into the opponent

Stick to the wrist and wait for the throw or even better behave like a rhino and just run towards the opponent and pass him whatever happens..

Never ever throw a second punch that would spoil the magic gay aikimoment..

Just do anything to behave like a total unrealistic fighter. Based on this behaviour Aikido works just fine

[MrShadesky]

@suissecarnifex Who are you for telling that? I see you're swiss. Me too. I hope you speak french.

Comment tu te permets d'insulter cet art martial? Tu es un expert? Tu as fait quoi à part regarder quelques minutes de vidéos pour établir un prompt jugement? As-tu déjà subit une technique d'aïkido pour dire de telles inepties?

J'espère sincèrement que tu étais complètement bourré quand tu as dit ça. Car juger sans connaître est le propre des imbéciles, et je n'aime pas voir des imbéciles.

[suissecarnifex]

Moi je comprends le francais, mais mon anglais est mailleur que mon francais. Je suis suisse allemand. Moi je suis un expert dans les arts marceaux. Je suis une maitre de Wing Chun et aussi pour la boxe anglais etc... J'ai trainé Aikido pour une ans, ca soufit. A cause de mon profession, je suis gardien dans une prison à Zürich. J'ai beaucoup d'expirience dans la defense personelle. Und ja Aikido ist absolut unrealistisch. Die wahrscheinlich unrealistischte Kampfkunst der Welt. Tamam arkadash?

[MrShadesky]

@suissecarnifex Et moi je suis champion du monde de boxe thaï et de taekwondo. Et je fais partie des forces spéciales du DRA 10. J'ai combattu plus de 100 maîtres d'art martiaux et je les ai tous tués.

T'y crois pas? C'est crédible pourtant!

Non. Le problème avec l'aïkido, c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de club qui font du bullshit. Je pense que si tu avais trouvé un bon club, tu n'aurais certainement pas la même image de l'aïkido que tu as aujourd'hui.

[gilloux1]

@MrShadesky ouais mais en voyant le grand maitre j'ai l'impression que lui aussi fesait du bullshit. Je pensais qu'il avait une pratique plus martial quand meme.

[MrShadesky]

@gilloux1 Je peux te dire que sa pratique avait tout ce qu'il y a de plus martial, et il n'était pas du tout tendre avec ses étudiant...

[MrShadesky]

@suissecarnifex Je rajouterais que j'ai fait un métier qui amenait souvent des conflits physiques, et l'aïkido m'a été très précieux dans ces moments là. Sans l'aïkido, je ne serais peut-être même plus là à écrire ce message. Alors quand je t'entends dire que l'aïkido ne sert à rien et qu'il est irréel, je suis désolé mais c'est n'importe quoi.

Sinon content de parler à un suisse allemand, c'est toujours plaisant de parler à queqlu'un de l'autre côté du rostigraben.

[yuukannahoshi]

@suissecarnifex Well thats why aikido is different from any other martial art, aikido is not only a martial art, you could even practice aikido without having stepped on the tatami even once. But a brainless person like you probably wont understand. Do you even know what Aiki means? It is not about fighting, thats for sure. So all your comments right back at ya

[LackadaisicalE]

So interesting as a history piece. Shintoism mixed with nationalism, a 'japanisation' of martial arts. Nice old fella too, what a weird life he must have had, so different from ours today eh..

[yngwie2000]

2 fucking retards that dont like this video....

[vitalwords]

GRACE ........ :)

[soerism]

so how to differentiate a real master of aikido (Ki practitioner) with a fake one? should we test it first?

[suissecarnifex]

Dance to the death! what a fucking waste of time this art is.....

[angels2online]

In an interview Shoji Nishio reported : "At that time, a former Karate sensei of the Butokukai named Toyosaku Sodeyama who was running Konishi Sensei’s dojo and also teaching there came up to me and said: “I met someone who is like a ‘phantom’. I couldn’t strike him even once.” I was amazed that there was someone that even Sodeyama Sensei couldn’t strike. It was O-Sensei.

[ShenSpirit]

@aikigeorge3 Apologies--my comment should have been directed to CloudsBeyond, not to you.

[ShenSpirit]

@aikigeorge3 Not sure where you get the idea that "very few Aikido people can fight," but your premise is unrealistic. Anyone who has studied Aikido or Tai Chi seriously knows that in a real fight you don't "use" these arts; you use anything necessary. Training in such arts is intended to build resourcefulness by creating a quiet, open and confident attitude. People who train in them are unlikely to get in a fight in the first place. If you want to fight, join the marines.

[godisagui]

@ShenSpirit

omg that is the best response to this ubiquitous question i've ever seen!! really well said, and succinctly!

[farizhutamaputra]

O-sensei was playing with his KI

[CloudsBeyond]

@aikigeorge3 very few Aikido people can actually fight & certainly if all they use is Aikido they will be very easy to beat in a real fight by anyone who has studied realistic martial arts. Aikido is like Tai Chi, sure a few can use it in a fight but very few! DON'T rely on Aikido in a real situation, go learn other things. EVERY SINGLE Aikido demo I've seen is 1) Nicely choreographed like a dance with ukemi trained to take falls 2) NEVER any realistic attacks.

[senseilance]

@CloudsBeyond As you said, they're "demos". If you want to see how Aikido is applied in combat situations, look for Steven Seagal training Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida in their fights for UFC Middle Weight Championship and Light Heavy Weight Championship bouts this year. Seagal teaches both fighters the concept of "irimi" with the follow up "atemi". Aikido demos are not fights; they demostrate the Aiki principle using martial forms; the principle of Harmonisation, and peaceful resolution.

[psuedomonas1]

@CloudsBeyond if i will fight anyone with knowledge on 'realistic martial arts' , ill use mixed styles. realistic fights happens on streets, and on streets there is no rule. you can use everything for survival

[martinez418]

Fake!!!!

[senseilance]

[martinez418]

@senseilance I sure did, a long time ago. Seagal is being bashed on for taking credit on Anderson wins. Seagals skilla are choreograph screen play scenarios. His techniques are purposelessly telegraphed to look good in his dojo and on screen. His defense reactions won't look that swiftly in a real life confrontation with a pro. I strongly believe these allege skills are proposed to fight unskilled fighters rather than skilled opponents.

[jin54363]

@martinez418

Real!!!

[jobowtackmasterx]

gayest karateka I've seen on youtube

[ProphetKirsch]

no O sensei is only with us in spirit

[exelenttee]

INCREDIBLE!

[ncigntujyang]

Thanks for sharing. Just wonder if O Senei still around? I can tell that he is one of the the greatest and legedary master of all time in the world.

[jfoley715]

Tossing them around like nothing. Like sheets out to dry. Incredible!

[mana82m]

Well for starters one could write or copy/paste this sentence to youtube and find some other 78y old person whom can do too at that age quite same performance in other martial art.

sentence:

chinese 78 year old martial artist

[duchessofpercy]

Unless I miss my guess, I belive the big american at 6:55 is Terry Dobson Sensei

[DHL428]

O Sensei in this clip was about 78 years old and can move with energy like that is awesome. I wish I can move like O Sensei when I am 78 years old. How many former champions (i.e., Boxing or any style of Martial Arts) can move like that when they are 78 years old?

[deadwate4u]

Ahhh the cosmos and its circles, its everywhere.

[cruzmaq]

4:12

the original star-wars kid

[karagz]

When i saw that kid, i say said "wow he was lucky". =)

[ChadC919]

@bluebirdnash1984 I hope it works out for you. Take care.

[ChadC919]

I can't even see his skill.

[ChadC919]

His words bring peace.

[puffhump]

You have honoured us with this video. Thank you.

[bluebirdnash1984]

the students of O'sensei are grateful that they are actually teach them by the great teacher. i'm fond of aikido. unfortunately i stop practice this art due to some other matters but im hoping i could get back.

[1415gateway]

so...when does this movie come out about the founder of aikido?

[433209553]

FUA!!!

[99XM]

@433209553 FOE.

[TheHakim03]

what a great Guru....



[Wolfsbane909]

hate to say it, but yeah i fight Ueshiba, heh

[ShodokanAikidoka]

@Wolfsbane909

And at age 77 he would still have beaten you up. But he would have smiled at your confidence. ;)

[aikigeorge3]

@Wolfsbane909 you assume that he would fight you? it is more likely that he would just avoid your attack until you collasped in fatigue and frustration and then gently ask you what were you thinking?

[Wolfsbane909]

@aikigeorge3 yeah most likely, but still for my fight club match I would choose Ueshiba just simply because his legendary. In response to his question if he were to ask that, I would reply "I am attacking, someone has to!"

[lsb6785]

@aikigeorge3 Precise answer you gave. I totally agree.

[ivomorganes]

namstê mestre mor Morihei Ueshiba... namastê esteve seagal...

[pathman2]

@vlax12 Yep bad alright get a spell checker.

[drjuste]

Very wise.

[03sankyu]

that kid is Sandai Doshu. : )

[chickenbento]

7:10~ Humility ... The first time I've seen O-sensei take ukemi in a video . Wonderful footage

, thankyou for posting !

[srtzui]

true humility comes through the will to truely pass knowledge on, without interferring in the process ... it was really good to see O'Sensei teaching the kids. what a teacher!

[MrMartinsdk]

increible..que muestra de humildad y poder
