  • Thank You Master Yoshimitsu for your most inspiring moves. What I would like to see more is moves that defend against grasps. In most street fights there is either punches or grasps first then grappling. My concern is not being able to take down someone grabbing me from behind with a choke or from the front with both hands. I humbly Thank You Master Yoshimitsu.

  • All can say is, more I can learn more visuly than I do with

  • Awesome!

  • Very nice basic techniques. Its great for students who are getting ready for Dan grade tests up to 4th dan. A very good reference movie to archive.

  • Boom! That's what i call effective self defense!! Respect for Aikido!

  • EXCELENTE!!! MUY BUEN AIKIDO

  • this is awesome thanks!

  • Everyone respect this man because he stresses the fact that a knife is dangrous and you can t always win the fight. He is very genuine in my opinion. To me this kind of self- defense is the best there is and anyone whom thinks otherwise is foolish. I would also like to add that a taped session with just the movements themselves might allow people to see the true art of this defense. 2 hands will always overpower 1 along with the fact that you use lifes natural forces and momentum to throw people

  • I have a question ....I've been studying aikido from the line of Saotome Sensei for a while and I'm tired of this drills of one finger, and these silly things instead of focusing more on the real aspects of self defense...is all Aikido like that or is just the school I am practicing? Thanks!

  • Excelent! FINISH HIM!

    Thia

  • He says: "I demonstrate many technique (sic) that have no name... my own version of technique." Actually, they all have names. Here ya go: Tantodori katadori tsuki (stupid knife attack) Wakigatame Kotegaeshi Tantodori tsuki Wakigatame Ikkyo (with a very risky ura ken strike) Slashing attack Okuri eri jime Yokemenuchi Gokyo to wakigatame Ushiro kubishime Sankyo Ushiro tsuki Kotegaeshi
  • And then... 2-person randori - morotedori Kokyunage Sotokaiten iriminage Shihonage / Sokumen iriminage 2-person randori - ryokatadori Sumi otoshi Uki otoshi Kokyunage Iriminage Uki otoshi Iriminage Hikiotoshi Iriminage Uchikaiten to an uke falling for no reason Kokyunage Uki otoshi Kibisu gaeshi (weak heel grab)

    Regards

  • great teacher!

  • 山田さん please teach me aikido

  • nice

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry, I have to agree. Letting go of the knife hand to backfist is a bad tradeoff. If you can maintain the knife hand do so at all costs.

  • Your videos are great, clear explaination and valued for aikido students.

  • I am a 27 years aikido veteran and also teaching aikido at present time. Your videos are great and valued, thank you very much.

  • great demonstration! Thank you, yamada sensei.

  • Art in motion...few marital arts can do this in forms...Not to mention in randori....excuse me of the poor spelling

  • the one he did at 1:40, he let go of his wrist to back fist...bad idea

  • take in mind that he is givin a distracting punch on ukes face first than back to the fist, and notice that there is always the possibility of changin the technique.

  • wow the shionage in the randori was great  : )

  • Gracias por el video!!! Muy didactico!!!

  • A true master at work I love the way you see how Yamada Sensei does the randori beautiful display of the art.

  • EXCELLENT. Thanks you.

  • I recognize Peter Bernath Sensei, my first teacher.

  • my friend thanks for sharing this great video...

  • I really enjoy Yoshimitsu-sensei videos. I've been practising Aikido in about a year, but I've had to make a break due to my hectic school assignments.

    どもうありがとうございます、 良光先生!

  • Thank you - next there will be the Seishiro Endo Sensei series. Nothing new but i will upload it any way i think.

  • Great. I don't have any video of Endo Sensei, except those upload by way-mastery. Wish having enough money to buy his DVDs.

  • I have 2 Way-Mastery DVDs and I was thinking to upload those so as I said nothing new.

  • I wish I have those DVDs. Just short clips from way-mastery helped me much in practising and teaching.

  • I got some clips of Osawa Hayato in Vietnam 1997. Do you like to see them?

  • Of course upload all the aikido clips you have - in everything there is a lesson.

  • This is the last part of the Yamada Sensei series.
