This amazing, inspiring gentleman who brought greatness to all who met him is so so dearly and heartbreakingly missed by all who knew him and especially myself his beloved baby daughter Lainybird (Lainy) and his other 3 children Billy, Anne Marie and George. God night, god bless, love u always and forever Dad :( xxxx

Billy Coyle, lived, worked and taught in the Possilpark area of Glasgow for many years. I remember him well, he ran the local youth club, a total gentleman, a great artist and did alot for the youth of possil., one of the toughest and most deprived areas in Glasgow. A true warrior.

awesome stuff, always a great mentor on the message boards as well.

Billy is real aikidoka and a great teacher with over 50yrs constant training.

I know as i trained with him for 10yrs and he is genuine guy both in and out of the Dojo.

I just started reading this guy a few days ago when my buddy told me about him, and ive been reading about his unbeleivable training and realism lol - and look at this fake shizzle, lol. Fantasy bs bollox when I'm back in the UK I'm gonna check me out some Aikido classes lol cos I want people to fall over when I breathe on them too. Maybe the secret is just dont clean your teeth.

What is the name of the uniform worn by the sensei in this video?

[Gunyo]

@dakoata121212 Mr. Coyle is wearing a montsuki and a hakama.

[Kunstdesfechtens]

Nice to see "the real deal"... Aikido as it was meant to be.

[siemprelavictorie]

Starting off with a couple of fullon shihonages, nothing like waking up the class I suppose.

[a06275]

Oh, and does he remind anyone else of Billy Connolly with the beard, build and accent? Looks like a wonderful teacher though!

[a06275]

Training with live blades in a regular session? Is that usual? Very cool, although surely a little dangerous?

[Gunyo]

@a06275 No, it's an embu (demonstration)

[raydvd]

Mr Coyle is a true Master of Aikido !
