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.

  • These movements have always mesmerized me. In this video the opponent is constantly trying to grab him, but how effective is the art against someone coming in with a 1,2 or 1,2,3 combo punch? I'm not trying to compare, just asking. Or can anyone tell me of some videos where this happens?

  • for me, in all martial arts , i idolizes the aikido as its work is smooth and gentle, yet deadly.second is tai chi

  • @Akbarquaran very well put, spot on

  • Usually fat people are good at aikido.
