Excellent. Very well done. You make this look far too easy.

@Archklaine You pay me a great compliment. Thank you. We are all students in a fashion. You however are your greatest teacher. Other's might show the path but there is a great divide between knowing it and walking it. I have a feeling you will make a great student no matter where you train.

@Karbouchard it's a pity I can't train with you ... I have a feeling you make for a very fine teacher. You have my full respect.

Not all of us are 25 and can take hard training. To me this is a perfectly fine way to train. These guys are working inside the scope of there physical abillity with very smooth and gracefull movements. Good for them. Hard training comes at a cost as I have learned. To chose to follow a lighter path is ones own "wise" choice. I don't think these guys would say that what they do will work in a street fight, and my guess is they would never end up in one. My shodan clip shows my training focus. :)

@archklaine to add, No training comes close to actual combat. I am also not saying that only top athletes or Soldiers should practice in the martial arts. I am saying that the least we can do is be honest in our training. If you have no martial intent, why not yoga? I might have been harsh in my previous comments and mean no disrespect. I would however not teach students this approach. If there is "ki" it comes from training technique not the other way around.

@Archklaine I agree about the martial artist being more artists. I think the term artist is incorrect (I am not a linguist nor an ardent student of Japanese culture), but I would call it a "way" i.e the martial way. I do not think there should be any discrepancy between tradition and combat. I think originally all martial training was to enhance survival in combat. Not to say that training does not cross pollinate into other aspects of our lives.

@Karbouchard Well, I've always felt, martial artists in our time are more artists than martial. It doesn't concern the video you've posted, but what do you think about that? Sacrificing the traditions of martial arts for the sake of effective combat?

Dear Guys !! not get angry for my last comments, if you are really practicioners of Aikido, you should manage your fellings. Yes, this is an style of aikido, and its very respectfull. As I see this Sensei is very focused on Ki developement, breathing, an peace, he lives in other dimension, from all the of Aikido dimensions available. Best regards . peace
well..... as many senseis told me: there are many shihans and every one has its style........ aikido is a martial art, so train it closely to a real situation....... if you want to train ballet go to a ballet academy.... with all respect to this sensei and its style, he makes things according to what he feels... I see this is just a coreography, not really aikido
