Shoji Nishio Shihan: Gyakuhanmi Katatedori Aihanmi

[yuukannahoshi]

Is this the karate kid tune??

[Gaprielll]

his better than segal. Got more contrly, does it gracefull without hurting his opponent(student) much. IT tells alot who you are

[RicardoOliverDiu]

Man... I´m a Taekwondo practitioner... I don´t know much about aikido... But watching this old sensei lifting up a relatively young man... Is just insane...

REALLY COOL

[lvesdck]

I have had my black belt in akido for several years and I still practice. This man is excellent. Very poised. Very graceful. He is an inspiration to all of us in the art and he brings back the beauty to the art that originally called me to it...

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

He flows like water, moving his entire body. That's the secret.

[gowdaflow]

Such control of himself.. Truly amazing.

Was he one of O-Sensei's direct students?

Thanks for postingby the way..

[AikikaiAikido]

@gowdaflow :When Nishio joined the Aikikai, the founder Ueshiba O-Sensei was spending most of his time in Iwama in Ibaragi Prefecture. It was a full year and a half before Nishio saw the imposing figure of the founder in action for the first time. What particularly impressed Nishio about Ueshiba’s technique was his lightning fast handling of the sword.

@AikikaiAikido I would've loved to meet O-Sensei in real life. I've seen a few of his videos. He seems like a really cool guy with a good sense of humor.

[CamFulbr0ght]

I think it is really neat how he flows from one position to the next

[zastonecesda]

Wow,like watching water flow.

[RedCrescentDemon]

Wow, some of these movements I've never seen before... Particularly the one starting at 0:49. Interesting... And he has such control with weapons. To swing so fast and so accurately and to stop it instantly.... amazing. This guy is a true master.

[AikikaiAikido]

@RedCrescentDemon: Nishio took up the study of iaido (Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu) with 10th dan Shigenori Sano in 1955, and then jodo (Shindo Muso-ryu) with the famous Takaji Shimizu (1896-1978). Each of these arts contributed to his knowledge of the use of weapons and, in turn, complemented his aikido training. Not everyone was pleased with Nishio’s forays into other arts as his aikido began to take on a unique flavor.

[RedCrescentDemon]

@AikikaiAikido Hey, if he's a guy that doesn't limit himself to only aikido or one particular art, and then blends all his knowledge to make something unique and unparalleled, that's cool in my book.

[DaGameFreakzZNoiz]
