i practice aikido and love it mostly but some of his demo is a bit embarrassing. I wish the randori part was stopped during demonstrations. its just daft looking. the 4 guys would make mince meat of him and deep down they and ando probably know it
He does remind me of the great man Shioda. However, a lot of this is, as Sensei Henry Ellis would say, Ukemi for the sake of Ukemi. I prefer watching the likes of Donovan Waite and Shoji Nishio.
Have you studied any art that uses energy and joint manipulation? Trust me, after taking Martial arts since I was 6 years old, I know wht has practical aplication. Aikido defnately works in the practical.
Sorry folks, this is a demonstration of "roll and fall on demand", and says nothing, if anything, about the art!

THis is an awesome demo. Ando Shihan moves just like Gozo Shioda. Thanks for sharing.

Train with him and see if he is playing, I know he is not. Masters make things look easy. Give him the respect he deserves.

It was a cool looking demo except for the camera going out of focus like 15 times. Also it was crazy funny to watch him fight those 4 guys.
