Old Man Sensei

The early morning, cold water, bucket misogi scene, inspired the movie clip everyone is now raving about! We were first and used it in its true context in 2006 and submitted it to Tropfest before it was copied. This is a vignette about a day in the life of a sensei who lives near a mountain. Following misogi each morning he makes his way up the mountain to meditate the sunrise and to train. Throughout the day he trains and instructs his deshi until the sun goes down. At sunset he meditates again and prepares for tomorrow. The real dude can be found at: http://www.aikiblue.com

Visually stunning, love the sound by Dreamwind ... and the old man's in great nick for an old dude! Inspires me to take up Aikido.

Thanks. I'll make sure to pass your comments on to the film crew and actors. It was fun work.

I loved the video. If I lived closer to the mountains, I would have become one of your students. Great inspiration.

Hi Nev

[Peekingduck]

Still love the video

Loved the video but the music took something away from it in parts (to my taste).

Still, a life worth living.

Thanks
