Advanced Aikido Techniques Part 2

Yoshimitsu Yamada, a direct student of O Sensei for more than ten years, is an 8th dan and the chief instructor at the New York Aikikai. Currently, he is Chairman of the Board of the United States Aikido Federation and the Latin America Aikido Federation. He is the author of Aikido Complete and has made multiple aikido training tapes.

Yamada Sensei is well known for his clear and strong basic technique. He teaches seminars all over the world where thousands of students attend his classes.

Quote:

"We must keep the spirit of budo no matter how we practice."

Q: You were one of the earlier uchideshi at the Aikikai. What year did you start?

A: When I joined as an uchideshi only Tamura Sensei and Arikawa Sensei were there. Yasuo Kobayashi was still in college. He came to the dojo every day. I entered when I was 17. I am 53 now, so it must have been 1955.

of course, this is amazing video. However, you demonstrate poor ettiqutte in posting video that costs money without contacting these world class instructors. I have been lucky enough to take ukemi from most of these instructors, and have stayed at NYA with Yamada sensei. It is very inappropriate to post their videos fully here.

I don't post their FULL videos - i put on links and info etc,

Of course you shoud buy these dvd series if you practise aikido there is so mutch on it.

This vid has really opened my eyes. To Akido

[chillichomper]

Aikido looks like a martial art that can be practised late in your life or by a physically weaker person as long as the focus is on using the opponents own force and strength against them. Combined with Wing chun it is pretty practical.

Now with that said this probably isn't going to phase a mixed martial artist but then again how often are you going to be mugged by a mma?

What I like about this is you generally stay on your feet and this leave the option of running away open unlike jiujitsu.
