  • Tohei is cool, but the leap at 1.08 from willing acting students is beyond absurd

  • Osenei's son f'ed up.

  • 藤平先生が54歳の頃のセミナーでの様子だと思うが、孫の様な年­­齢の学生を相手にした力の抜けたすばらしいデモンストレーショ­ン­だ。油の乗った絶頂期だろう。合氣道の世界の大家のセミナー­に参­加した彼らは現代では貴重な経験者だと思う。

    」よ永久に… 合掌

    

  • aikido aside, koichi toehei is the one person who really pulls off the gi and hakama look, damn sexy :)

  • I attended a couple of his classes in San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif back in 1970.

    I still have his Aikido book The Arts of Self Defense which he signed for me.

  • Tohei Sensei, great master of Ki Aikido, has passed away leaving us the legacy of living Aikido. 

  • @Peekingduck "With(almost) only a bloodline to claim",exactly !shin shin toitsu aikido and even yoshinkan aikido are more efficient than akikai aikido(in my view).

  • I used to sneak peeks into Koichi's dojo in '77. Cool guy. 

  • Aikikai seem to survive on pushing people out sometimes but at what cost ?

    Had Tohei stayed in the Aikido world of Aikikai, Akido and Aikikai would have been healthier and much more rooted in Ueshiba sensei's ways than it is today.

    Aikikai today seems diluted with (almost) only a bloodline to claim.

    It was a true and huge loss for Aikidoka and their art when Tohei was lost...

  • Koichi Tohei has been one of the greatest masters of aikido. The problem is that, since he was endowed with a uniquely creative character, his understanding of the Art transcended into realms that were unintelligible for those who intended to always keep close to the core tradition of Aikido...In any case, Tohei was an outstanding personality and an outstanding master of the Art of Peace. No doubt that he also merits infinite respect for the development of a new branch in the Aiki-tree....
