Aikido - Nishio sensei seminar 3 (5)

Shoji Nishio sensei was one of the most prominent aikido teachers, 8 dan Aikikai, also very skilled with the sword and the jo. He passed away in 2005. This film is from a seminar he had in my dojo Enighet, Malmö, in 1993. Notice his speed and virtuosity, and also his constant smile. He was a delightful teacher, always in a good mood, and always inspired. It was clear that he truly loved to do aikido. His sophisticated budo was not easy to learn, but we all sure enjoyed trying.
Here are photos of him on my website:

@1хмм, мудро. с лапой барса очень даже подходит. рука у него в самом деле тежелаsilverant

[1silverant]

дух его-само миротворчество

тело его-словно собранная лапа белого горного барса

его учение-нести свет

в сердце его победа над самим собой

ибо счастливы те,кто узрит это в нем

сон на теплом ложе не приносит таких чудес
