In this clip, Menkyo Kaiden awardee, Katsuyuki Kondo Sensei explains the basic principles of Daito-ryu: Rei, Metsuke, Maai, Kokyu, Kuzushi, Zanshin, and Kiai. This clip is excerpted from the Aikido Journal DVD set titled "Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu - Hiden Mokuroku" available here:

Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, the major technical influence on modern aikido, was a martial art taught in the first part of twentieth century Japan by the famous Sokaku Takeda of the Aizu clan, a certified martial arts' genius. Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba met Sokaku in 1915, and immediately became engrossed in training. Daito-ryu, in Morihei's words, "opened his eyes to budo."

The "Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu -- Hiden Mokuroku" DVD series by Kondo Sensei is the perfect introduction to Daito-ryu for beginners and experienced martial artists alike. Expertly demonstrated and explained, these two DVDs cover all of the techniques of the Hiden Mokuroku transmission scrolls of the formerly secret Daito-ryu school.

  • Two people received the Menkyo Kaiden from Sokaku Takeda: Hisa Takuma and Masao Tonedate. One person received Menkyo Kaiden from Headmaster Tokimune Takeda, Sokaku's son. That is, Katsuyuki Kondo Sensei.

  • thank you for sharing

  • @FunkyBukkyo

    Even in this video the pronunciation is Jiujitsu you must have bad ears!

  • @Gieszkanne because the correct way pronounce it is actually "jujutsu"

    柔術 >> じゅじゅつ >> jyujyutsu... usually in romanized form it is just "jujutsu"

  • Why it is written Ju Jutsu when they pronounce clearly Jiu Jitsu?!

  • Stanley, why is it said that Kondo Sensei is the only person to have received a menkyo kaiden in Daito-ryu when at least one other, Takuma Sensei had one? Did I miss something in the translation or in the lineage?
