Advanced Aikido Techniques Part 3

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.

I really enjoy Yoshimitsu-sensei videos. I've been practising Aikido in about a year, but I've had to make a break due to my hectic school assignments.

どもうありがとうございます、　良光先生！

[AikikaiAikido]

Thank you - next there will be the Seishiro Endo Sensei series. Nothing new but i will upload it any way i think.

[dminhdaude]

Great. I don't have any video of Endo Sensei, except those upload by way-mastery. Wish having enough money to buy his DVDs.

[AikikaiAikido]

I have 2 Way-Mastery DVDs and I was thinking to upload those so as I said nothing new.

[dminhdaude]

I got some clips of Osawa Hayato in Vietnam 1997. Do you like to see them?

[AikikaiAikido]

Of course upload all the aikido clips you have - in everything there is a lesson.

[huggabugbear2000]

All can say is, more I can learn more visuly than I do with

[sarosh92]

[chickoxerri]

Very nice basic techniques. Its great for students who are getting ready for Dan grade tests up to 4th dan. A very good reference movie to archive.

[Parppi]

Boom! That's what i call effective self defense!! Respect for Aikido!

[villagramarina]

[me123775]

this is awesome thanks!

Everyone respect this man because he stresses the fact that a knife is dangrous and you can t always win the fight. He is very genuine in my opinion. To me this kind of self- defense is the best there is and anyone whom thinks otherwise is foolish. I would also like to add that a taped session with just the movements themselves might allow people to see the true art of this defense. 2 hands will always overpower 1 along with the fact that you use lifes natural forces and momentum to throw people

[JohnLennon100]

I have a question ....I've been studying aikido from the line of Saotome Sensei for a while and I'm tired of this drills of one finger, and these silly things instead of focusing more on the real aspects of self defense...is all Aikido like that or is just the school I am practicing? Thanks!

[EagleTalon1970]

Excelent! FINISH HIM!

He says: "I demonstrate many technique (sic) that have no name... my own version of technique." Actually, they all have names. Here ya go: Tantodori katadori tsuki (stupid knife attack) Wakigatame Kotegaeshi Tantodori tsuki Wakigatame Ikkyo (with a very risky ura ken strike) Slashing attack Okuri eri jime Yokemenuchi Gokyo to wakigatame Ushiro kubishime Sankyo Ushiro tsuki Kotegaeshi
