11 years later, his bjj is so smooth because Bjj is a real martial art that uses contact fighting against a resisting opponent unlike aikido which is useless because you pretend to know how to throw but you never test against a resisting opponent.
Truly impressive technique! It was fast, yet it looked clean. This seems to be a well deserved passing grade on your exam. What a great video. Keep up the awesome work!
Grandmaster (Kancho) - Seibukan Jujutsu 5th Dan - Akikai Aikido 10th Dan - Bujinkan Budo Taijustu 10th Dan - Enshin Itto Ryu Batto Jutsu (Sword Art) 7th Dan - Hakko Ryu Jujutsu 2nd Dan - Okinawan Kempo Karate These are the ones I know about, with a little help for exactly what levels from a slightly outdated Wikipedia. Toribio Kancho is truely a gifted martial artist.
Now thats real Aikido! That realy was great to watch, you can wear the (funny plack pants) with pride. Your technique was very clean and clear for a big man, well done i say, i loved it!
wow that is some very, very nice techniques, clean and sharp and flowing. Better than most youtube 'masters' out there today, reminds me of Steven Seagal - I love how his techniques are strong and never appear to be premeditated.
Excelente examen! Yo rendí el negro hace un año, pero me da verguenza recordarlo pues, no cumplí con mi conviccción de hacer las cosas de la única forma aceptable ( hacerlas bien ) Así que, gracias por este video! Pablo.
Most Aikido schools maintain a white belt for the first five ranks, and then you get a black belt when you complete your shodan test (which is what this looks to be).
aikido techniques doesn't exert more effort ...that's what we called soft attacks ...aikido is a soft way on how to throw people and to have a counter attack in a minimum effort but in maximum effect
Could anyone enlighten me as to how long it typically takes to reach Shodan in Aikikai? Is it time based like other Aiki ryu or is it based on how fast the individual masters the techniques?
@Delmo67 Depends on how much time you dedicate to it, like most art. I've been studying for a year and a half now and I have my shodan test at the end of the month. :)
One of the methods to teach a student and recognize gaps in their technique, stance, movement and so on, is to take Ukemi for them and feel whats going on.
