Aikido - Morihei Ueshiba and Aikido - Rendez-Vous with Adventure 

An orgy? Haha! Of course they cooperate, after all, they are in Tokyo. At the Aikikai Hombu, a diluted "withe collar" form of Aikido was practiced back then (and continues to be practiced to this day, sadly). An Aikido that is *not* O Sensei's Aikido, but the product of the ideas of these two characters that appear in the film: Koetsu (Kisshomaru) Ueshiba and Tohei Koichi, masters and lords of the Aikikai at the time. One of the reasons why O Sensei moved to Iwama was precisely to develop *his* Aikido, an Aikido that had nothing to do with the "bureaucratic" mentality prevalent in Tokyo. Even the visits of O Sensei became annoying in Hombu in years to come, since much of the time in class was spent in scolding those who are now called "Shihan" for their poor technical performance and zero martial attitude. In short, in Iwama: O Sensei Aikido, in Hombu: Koetsu Ueshiba's Aikido.

@Dirkjan If he would have been a scammer his disciples would have carry bigger blame.

Tohei sensei was in Hawaii opening dojo of Aikido there. Ueshiba Sensei called " Silver Bridge" of Aikido to the world. Tohei sensei probably learned english in Hawaii.

Кто мешает в наше время так заниматься?

Do you really believe that. Its rather that Aikido didnt work with resistance.

If Tohei had used atemi the westerner would be out in seconds. They were trying to promote the harmonious side, not how quick to concuss a westerner with one strike to the temple. It was a no win for Tohei, but being an aikidoka his ego was not taking precedence. Was so simple to restrain the guy when he dedided ready to.

19:40 Kokyu Nage 20:01 Kote Gaeshi 20:37 irimi nage 20:48 uchiro otoshi They are all Aïkido techniques, either you are dishonnest or you are ignorant

Actually, all of Uyeshiba's original students were well versed in Judo and Karate. The legendary Kimura himself had a huge amount of admiration for Morihei Uyeshiba and often trained there with Gozo Shioda and Abbe Sensei. Kimura was a black belt in Aikido as well. Eventually in the later decades, Aikido became a watered down version of itself... hence, the lower general standard.

foxybrown2 Aikido jujitsu and judo all share a common ancestor In Takada and Aiki bujits Samurai fighting arts Aikido is a spiritual pursuit Incorporating martial concepts and principles of movement to blend with an Opponent armed usually with a sword These principles can be Used to create the throws and evasion you see as long as the Uke comes in as if he has a sword . It is large circle concept Judo is more competition Related ,it’s base is In the grappling arts of aiki bujits It’s founder Kano was also A student of Takada’s It uses more leverage based Concept and technics Jujitsu could be said to be the grappling arts of aiki Bujits Designed to subdue and or kill A single opponent when unarmed it includes all the concepts of both judo and Aikido . Large circle,small circle and leverage and of course much more Aikido is not a fighting art Even though it’s concepts and Principals of movement do have great merit in the arsenal of martial arts laws and concepts it cannot be taught as a fighting art by its self And was never meant To be.

foxybrown2 You are obviously a novice. Close your mouth and open your ears and eyes.

@@peedinkus389 Actually i'm not a novice what i said is true it has been proven time and time again that a wrestler or BJJ will take down a Aikido person 95% of the time. Even Aikido people are starting to admit that they waisted there time doing Aikido if it was for self defense. Now i like Aikido and i think that is improves your awareness and reaction time but the bottom line is if you do not train for real life situations no martial art is going to work in that situation. I train right now in Tai Jitsu wich similar to Aiki Jijitsu which is the original Aikido before Morihei Ueshiba watered it down to more a spiritual thing.

@@peedinkus389 oh yea the last part i just said that to see how many people would reply I know it is not useless. But like i said if you don'y train right you will be in trouble . Happy new folks

You are wrong. Do not forget Kano Jigoro Sensei, the Founder of Judo, was an admirator of Aikido. He asked to Ueshiba Morihei Sensei, to admit ten advanced students of Judo in his classes of Aikido.

It's hard to understand what your response has to do with my above statement. Again, its not and never was meant to be a real fighting art, 'O-Sensei' often talked about it as the 'art of peace'. God Bless.

@@ursamajor5107 You probably didn't understand the book and the words of O sensei. Doesn' t matter if Aikido is a common style of fight or not. Aikido works perfectly in a real situation and O sensei was a genius able to do what Aikido is. Aikido is a genuine martial art and way to find the peace.

@@alexandrealves2877 Please keep your delusions. I am happy for you to exist in fantasy land. God bless and I've said enough.

@@ursamajor5107 Well... I started my martial way with five years old. I was national champion with 15, 16 years old, in Judo. I did Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Capoeira ( I am Brazilian), in BJJ was champion of my state, and after 23 years of Aikido, I have absolute sure about my words. Listen, I was living and playing Judo in USA, they asked me to represent USA in the Olympic Games. In that time, I was the best in my country and you need to understand Brazil is very strong in Judo and Jiu-jitsu. This is because after the war, japanese immigrated to Brazil and taught martial arts to brazilians. So I studed the secrets of Aikido with a genuine master, a 90 years old japanese man who trained with the son of the Founder of Aikido. I really know what I am talking about. Aikido has amazing footwork, It is 100% killer in a real situation. Oss.

What do you mean?

@@Gieszkanne The dates given for various things in the video are not the same dates claimed by Aikikai today, and they also disagree with known & documented history.

@@iatsd I dont think that dates ar much important. But they did lie on more important things. Kissumaru said his father didnt learn long from Sokaku what is a total joke. He learned 20 years from him and gained teaching license . Aikido is mostly Daito Ryu just with a bit more flow. There are many things up to the point that modern Aikido is rather the Aikido of Kissumaru than that of Morihei.

Koichi Tohei ,il capo degli istruttori dimostra l'efficacia dell'Aikido.

There are at least two Irimi Nage that are specifically Aikido techniques. You can’t see past your own bias.
