So beautiful. I don't care if it works against any other martial arts. Thanks to Aikido stance - Ai-hanmi and Gyuaki Hanmi made it possible for me to walk again after I got pnuemonia and meningitis which took away my ability to walk
Aikido is deceitful. It make you believe you can see it, until you feel it. The worst enemy that has started wars, famine and pillaged countries is inner satanic lust. Death will eventually defeat us. Humility is knowledge. You lived it, and now you're walking.
Aikido is about conquering the enemy within...."Conquer (make friends with) your internal enemy, and the external ones will disappear"....We all know aikido ukeme training also helps in non-combat situations (learning how to fall, break fall, "rolling with force" etc)....Congratulations on receiving your gifts of Ai-Ki-Do :-)
I feel that Aikido suffers from this man’s ability to perform it. He took years and years crafting this and put in even more as he developed it. Ueshiba-Sense could probably use this effectively against other martial arts masters but it’s because of how durable he was and how much he trained. Nowadays it seems people see what he had done and immediately want to be like that and as a result they become under disciplined and it becomes a watered down, less effective practice. Also, to touch on this, he put TONS of time into this to get to this level and it’s time most people don’t have to learn self defense. Karate, Muay Thai and Jujitsu can get you there MUCH faster and you’ll be way more efficient in less time.
I am now pushing 80…I’ve had the great fortune to have trained with 2 of O’Sensei’s students. Saotome Shinan, Takenaka Shinan. Their Aikido is strong and not ‘phony’ as Aikido is taught in many dojo’s these days! Both of the Shinan I studied with included Atemi ( striking) in their Aikido! This is a wonderful video…thanks for posting it!
Good Going Doji!! Would have enjoyed having the same chance. One thing I did get to see was this very same video way back in the late 60's. It was on the 8mm film strips back in those days. You had to thread those into a move projector to watch it. Was so glad to find this one having not seen it in decades.
@@donsimons9810 atemi means, opposing resistance. Because of that, I stopped practicing Aikido cos I had chronic pain on my joints. My coach studied martial arts over 30 years. He was a double intercontinental Judo champion. Because of that, his atemi ( opposing resistance ) was strong in Aikido, Judo and bo staff techniques
Even though I only took Aikido for a few months it helped me psychologically somehow I’m not sure how to describe. I have nothing but respect and honor for this man
Very zen feeling is encouraged. I really enjoyed my year, made it to orange. Would have kept going but actually hurt my back doing the roll drills with an overly excited black belt. Took about 5 months to get over that.. I definitely have more respect for the exercise in aikido now..
I had the same experience. Only four months of aikido and yet I felt a profound transformation. O Sensei's emphasis on defeating the spirit of confrontation was enlightening for me.
Unlike any other martial arts, except Jujitsu, Aikido trains your mind to interact with your Chi (aka Ki), this give you inner balance, which can also be deemed as confidence, but never cockiness. This art also teaches you clever hand holds (shore patrol tricks). Once an opponent, who knows them, grabs your hand, you're done for, cuz he can lead &/or redirect your motion, which is generally down & out, at which time, most often dessimate his opponent.
Morihei Ueshiba O Sensei was an exceptional master of his art. Those of us who have been fortunate to have received training from any of the masters from any system with the skill , integrity and kindest human nature of masters such as Morihei Ueshiba O Sensei & my own grand master have been extremely fortunate. May we be blessed with their teachings and pass them on to our students.
True. I often joined,training,with Sensei Quai Wong. He was an artist an mixed Karate, Kung Fu and Aikido together, which was a big help in some situations. Never met someone similar. He did things, you couldn‘t believe if you haven‘t seen it with your own eyes.
I love finding old footage like this. Seeing an old man move this way to me proves just how important martial arts really is and how it can only improve your life. Time well spent.
We were very fortunate to have Gakku Hama, O Sensei's last uchideshi, teaching here in Denver for several decades. I was privileged to train under him, at his school, for many years in teh 80s and 90s. I miss it.
No one ever said it was "magic". It would have taken you far less time had you understood that sooner. It's points of balance and physics applied against our articulations.
@@arzabala23 para empezar esta mal lo que decís 1) en el aikido no se usa tu fuerza si no la del contrincante 2)debes sentirlo y unirte con el universo
@@MP-db9sw No you were right. But, Aikido, to use it properly you have to know the body and how the attacker moves. Ti be good at aikido you have to understand it and it might be best to do sparring with one attacking and one defending.
@@MP-db9sw It can be difficult to understand the difference between "Embu" (Demo) and actual technique. Based on interviews with Morihiro Saito Shihan, O-Sensei was a bit cautious about people stealing his technique. This was a common attitude during this time. Embu-kai is, and always has been, staged. This is true for almost all traditional martial arts. If you want to know what O-Sensei was teaching, find yourself an Iwama Ryu dojo with a lineage that connects directly back to Morihiro Saito Shihan. If you want to see Embu-kai that isn't staged, watch demos by people like Morihiro Saito Sensei, Isoyama Sensei, or Chiba Sensei... I've been thrown by direct students of Morihiro Saito Sensei... Quite a lot. I don't throw myself. Don't get me wrong... I've seen some absolutely ridiculous Aikido in my time. The Aikido that I practice serves me quite well as a martial art. Basing an opinion about something as complicated as a martial art on videos you've watched on RU-vid doesn't foster understanding. YMMV.
.....this man was alive before I was born......I was born in 1959.......this video was taken in 1957....my eventual sensei trained under this master....to find this video clip brings more than memories to my mind....tears to my face or reflections.....it brings to my heart ...what began before me....the memory of this man....
He was a very good person and a wonderful teacher, My teacher trained with him and my Dad trained under him, met him when I was very young. Thank you for posting this.
@@meninpapin Your statement is not really true, and depends a good deal on what you mean by "trained under". I personally know, and have practiced with, two living "Westerners" that attended classes taught at Aikikai Hombu Dojo by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei. Gordon Sakamoto Shihan (born in Hawaii) who lives/teaches Aikido in the DC area... Bob Nadeau Shihan (lives in California)... Also... Andre Nocquet Shihan (who I do not personally know) was uchideshi at Hombu Dojo during the same period of time that Terry Dobson was there. Beyond 1947, which is the period of time we're talking about, O-Sensei had moved to Iwama, and retired. Everyone that I mention above absolutely attended classes taught by O-Sensei. None of the above folks were deshi at the Iwama dojo, and were therefore likely considered either students of the Nidai Doshu, or Koichi Tohei Sensei.
@@meninpapin Yeah... OK... Again... There were lots of "Westerners" that trained at both the Iwama dojo and the Aikikai Hombu dojo while O-Sensei was alive. Maybe you mean uchideshi?
I feel like when doing aikido (which I really practice) it’s almost like painting a picture. On some areas it is smooth and elegant while on others it’s rough and harsh. Great footage, think it’s amazing.
So grateful to be able to see this and other footage on RU-vid. I can remember in the early 90s pre internet days, having to search high and low for Terry Dobson’s book It’s A Lot Like Dancing and also Aikido by Brian Bagot. Books I still refer to today. O Sensei was a photo on the dojo wall. Seeing him on video after so many years is a privilege.
O'Sensei's philosophy is powerful. The principles of Aikido and the Art of Peace have helped me overcome so much in my life. He helped me define was victory truly means to me. What it really means to "win". By defeating myself and conquering the mind, I am able to harmonize with others much better. Avoiding unnecessary conflict and combat. Not to get pulled into an opponent's energy and swept away by them. If you allow an opponent to goad you into a fight, you have already lost.
I happened across this looking for Aikido-Jo information and find myself inspired, and completely in awe of the Grand Master. Now I only wish to find out more about him, his teachings. Watching such astonishing talent and skill, and with what looks like great humour. Love him 👏
@3:23 is some freaky magical mystical stuff. That's what it looks like when someone who is fortified with magnitude puts some chi energy through somebody. Just look at the way he's moving that guy around. It's understandable that people think this looks fake because it does and besides, they're practicing but I urge anyone who doubts it to just go practice with a true master if they can find one and see for themselves how real and powerful the energy is with this discipline. I'm speaking from my own experience and I am eternally humbled and grateful for the knowledge and power I was endowed with, which was very little in relation to anything my teacher possessed and my instructors would tell you that they have nothing on O' sensei. Mr. Ueshiba was far superior in his skill and ability than any other Aikido stylist who has and likely ever will live again. His energy lives on!
I saw Sensei in person when I was aboard the USS Princeton (Helio Carrier) in 1964 just before we went in to Viet Nam. Watching him in comparison to all the others Martial Arts disciplines we had been trained in, left no doubt about which one I believe is the best for all aspects of living!
I started Aikido as a kid. I don't remember if I was 8 years old or 12, but I remember taking classes from my teachers, and going to my teachers' sensei's seminars once a year. Watching O Sensei reminds me a lot of the man that taught my teachers. It makes me happy, somehow. I can see the wisdom and light-heartedness in both of them. The guy is probably either 80 years old close to it by now, and he was throwing people left and right no problem. Unfortunately, the pandemic, and now college, have made it hard for me to keep practicing Aikido for a few years now... but I hope to get back into it with a local dojo next semester, if I manage to make my college workload easier enough on myself.
It's incredible to think we have footage of a true master. What he taught can be seen in this demonstration. He taught love and universal harmony. Aikido was his vehicle for that teaching. It was how he polished his spirit and how he hoped that other people could polish their spirit. He said any technique can be an Aikido technique because he was training the spirit not the technique. With the the spirit purified, and with no feelings except love and harmony any technique will work. Don't train in Aikido if you want to use it to hurt people and fight. Learn if you want to polish your spirit, and the ability to defend yourself will take care of its self. Thank you for sharing this video. There are those that commented without understanding. For those that do, seeing the rare footage is a privilege.
I remember taking this martial art for a short time and I loved it, it showed me the true meaning of non-violent defense. Thank you for putting this up
"The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is called intelligent nonaggressiveness. This is called mastery of men." - Lao Tse
arynne hempstock I wouldn't say people think it's wrong per say, but that it's very difficult to apply to a boxer or someone of similar type of training, which I will say is true. But on the street it may help you. Skill gaps in certain areas make certain things exponentially harder.
I started training Aikido just now, not full one month yet.. but even now I feel differerses and amazing how it transforms My mind states.. You teach by doing and there is no more theory, and it helps you to feel your inner fears and makes you free ^^ thx Morihei Ueshiba for this beautyful art... : )
It seems like it never goes away right? I’ve not been training regularly for some time now, but I can feel every movement in videos like this. You can see the “wind up” before the actual throw or the build up of energy. I love to watch when he’s just thrown someone and yet you know he is still in sync with them and when they get up to come again, he is already leading them by being one with them! Love it!
Спасибо ему,благодаря этому мастеру я могу не беспокоиться за свою жизнь и ходить в айкидо и обучаться новым техникам. Лучшее из лучших это айкидо для меня. Светлая память Морихею Уэшибе.
This was a tiny, wispy old figure of a man that I had met once, and admired greatly. His spirit impressed me most about him, and he loves playing with men twice his size, and is very much the gentleman when he does. This soul shined for me and I appreciated him.
I've found that my 10+ years of Yoshinkan Aikido training has been a great foundation for me as I've moved over to boxing and now BJJ. Aikido is like advanced jiujitsu theory, unfortunately, the system isn't really designed to show you how to utilize any of it. BJJ has been great to help me work things out when I can, now I have a new appreciation for it.
My aikido Senseis always recommended cross training....to improve your aikido, so you can properly learn how to strike, etc. (which aikido does not teach)...and as you probably know the aikido weapons grips are not the usual grips, aikidoka grip the jo and bokken with the same grip they would apply to a human forearm At 2:06 O'Sensei demonstrates techniques against weapons, which I always thought was very useful....As my Sensei said, "make your shoulder disappear", then irimi-tenkan (enter - turn) and apply a technique
I started my journey with aikido over 14 years ago. I stopped it and started train MMA and BJJ, eventually I wanted go back to Aikido, because I realised that there is more meaning in those movements. "Practice is not performance", yup Aikido really doesn't show how to utilize the art (helps if you have a background from other martial arts), but with a good sensei you can get also that part (I'm really lucky to have one). The thing is that Aikido is ment to hurt you only as long as you are attacking and even then it is not ment to cause you long lasting physical damage... Now been few years back and got honour to wear brown belt and hakama. I'm enjoying this traditional martial art.
Actually history records otherwise (I used to do Aikido for years). He was an extremely unstable and narcissistic person, a liar who exaggerated that he could dodge bullets and disappear in a cloud of smoke and had willing participants as ukes. His techniques would rarely work in the street against anyone even semi hardened or who can punch fast. We idolize these people when a lot of them are the products of overrated legends.
@@TheStrataminor by research, he was a kind, humble, and gentle person. He could pin someone experienced in fighting with one finger. They were both stated by other people that met him. He was a philosopher and believed strongly that he was right. Just like socrates, plato, and aristotle. Please, do actual research. Even though you did aikido doesnt mean you understand it.
It's great to see a video of Morihei Ueshiba!I practice Tomiki Aikido which is a branch from the traditional Aikido.A nearly cry when seeing these flowing movements.I especially like the solo of O Sensei with the Jo doing the movements.Thank you for your video,it is very interesting!
Really captivating footage here. I don't know how well the martial arts holds up today, but that doesn't make this video any less interesting to watch. Much respect.
Now, that was back in the day! I look at the bows, which I find important (respectful). "Oh, thank you, Sensei, for dislocating my shoulder. You have taught me a valuable lesson, today." I love watching this stuff; can't help myself.
Watching this I miss so much Aikido. I quit after I broke my collarbone. I didn't have any people in this area to help me when I get these kind of injuries so I had to quit. I was always a pretty lonely guy. I remember meeting some really great people in Aikido classes. Oh, here comes the regrets. 🙂
You can always get back to it! I rejoined recently after a 3 year break - there is another guy there who said he took 10 years off then came back and got his hakema. Never too late. :)
Everything I know about O Sensei makes me think that he must have been a delightful man to be around and learn from. My wish is that Aikido can teach us all to be a little more like a great man.
It's like five locks, five throws and huge, endless variations, that's what I love about the Art. Also, it covers the whole self-defence, no exaggeration.
O Aikido é uma daquelas artes que exige um uke muito legal. Eu acho que não deveria ser considerado uma arte "marcial" mesmo. Mas, como expressão artística, é visualmente muito bonita. Obrigado por este belo documento histórico.
Much love and respect thanks for posting this video ive heard of him a real legend its an honor to see him in action, the art of piece lives within us , just give it a chance , be good to everyone , Guru Ed of Estallila Kabaroan Eskrima
According to the way he grabs arms or neck to throw people down it is very protective...but if you use it forcefully and faster ,it can break the opponent arms and neck...and it can make a big bomming sound when you throw them down in ground, or rotating them to hit with their head a table,wall,window...
Hermoso arte marcial, su filosofía y tranquilidad me fue de mucha ayuda en una etapa de mi vida. Gracias por tan asombroso vídeo, la verdad nunca había visto a su creador dando muestra de su sistema
For a man of his age he is so fast, so think how fast would he of been in his youth? I'm more of your mix martial artist with no Aikido experience but it looks obvious to me that Aikido was absolutely fine when he did it. I watched some more of his in the last 24 hours and I believe that with his students like most he controlled the narrative but with opponents he could also control the narrative partly because he was fast, unknowingly well bio-mechanically minded and his footwork was so good.
Thank you sensei ueshiba. I started Aikido 3 years ago, and it changed me. I will always be grateful for this art. Iam an Aikidoka and a shotokan karateka. This gentleman made something so pure and beautiful. Out of an upbringing that encouraged him to be aggressive. He then made one of the most spiritual martial arts in all existence, and we love and honour you always
@@paulhomsy2751 Yep; they think that way. I took aikido for a year and they cracked me up. They would shun me for liking guns and then turn around and practice with knives, swords, sticks, etc. They didn't like Steven Seagal for taking into real life situations in his movies. When you're in a fight for your life , it's either them or me. It ain't time to win souls. Therefore avoid the fight with peaceful words.
OSensei Ueshiba told Kazuo Chiba Sensei that he would live to be 125 yrs of age, sadly he died at the age of 86 yrs, because of Aikido he will now live forever. I am proud to have my diploma's signed by OSensei and my Shihan from his grandson Moriteru Ueshiba. I began my Aikido in 1957 with Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. Henry Ellis co-author of `` Positive Aikido ``. and ``Founding of JuJutsu, Judo , Aikido in the UK ``. Happy 2021 to all in Aikido`.
Hello from Ontario Canada I am 44 and I took Karate and boxing back in the day also I played High school football I just joined a Aikido this month I have always had the most love and respect for all Martial Arts Aikido mostly .
Wow. O Sensei. Amazing what even old black and white film can capture. You can see how amazing he was. He had that 'dragon' spine and that cool sense about him. I know how aikido people are. They want to be like him or better or whatever. And when you see this clip, you should enjoy. The bokken stuff was just so much fun to see. I have one blind eye, and just wondering what it would have been like to say . . 'well I have one good eye because the other got poked by O Sensei's bokken.' Anyway. Nowadays, people say Aikido is lame, because no MMA person does Aikido. You need to be in a really great class with the best shihan, like it's always been. But. Without O Sensei or Tohei Sensei, who received 10th dan, 6 months after beginning his studies with O sensei, it's a shell of itself, although you cannot fault his students for lack of effort. If I were in Japan, I would study karate kata with that Japanese karate kata whiz chick, Rika Usami.
Morihei Ueshiba é um grande mestre do Aikido, quando da demonstração percebem-se seus movimentos suaves e calculados, a técnica depende do auto-controle da mente, do corpo e do espírito. A força reside na eficácia de aplicação dos golpes. A prática séria de uma arte marcial é notada por quem a observa.
I am a practitioner of taekwondo recently , I was born seeing the video of brucce lee,jackie chan and karate kid then with kun fu, love taekwondo for its variety of kicks and another for the forms and because over time it will become fluid , but like the ' aikido for his great spirituality and of this strikes me , peace , if I could work in my life as well as I'd like to become a master of aikido and taekwondo
Every aggressive movement will sacrifice some balance in the natural state of things. Aikido teaches the restoration of balance results from non-attachment and flowing with our true nature.
Le grand O Sensei.... Jai ete moi-même un eleve de Tamura Sensei.... Tada Sensei etait en Italie, et Tamura Sensei dans le sud de la France. Il m a trs gentiment dedicace son merveilleux livre. REP 😪😪😪
watching o sensei just gives you an inner peace if mind.with the crazy world out there and all the bullcraps we all faced..seclusion and serenity is found within the mind....if only realize our inner self..thanks sensei for d upload and englitement.
The true purpose of martial arts is not having to use it. Most grand masters, for whichever art, they would preach that the main focus was to have a strong spirit first. Technique comes after. The true martial artist knows this, and does his best to live his life in peace, but is always ready to end a fight, using their skills in what they've chosen to learn if the moment arises. I can't judge people that don't understand the true meaning of learning any martial art. Most of the people disrespecting Aikido or any similar style appear to be violent, with a lack of self control, and no respect for others. I'm pretty sure every martial art teaches their students to respect others. And if you're not a practitioner you will think this is a joke. I can see why. But if you haven't tried it in person, or have fought an aikidoka, makes no sense to say it's crap. Even Ninjutsu, has almost the same basics as Aikido. You can't learn its way, without your partner doing his part helping you train. So what are you supposed to do? Break his arm and slice his throat so you can see that the technique is real? No. You will always have the nonbelievers, the haters, that disagree with everything that they think it's crap in their eyes without ever trying or experiencing it. There's a reason why Martial arts like Ninjutsu and Aikido are not competitive, and if that bothers you then you should seek the answers, and learn the real reasons why. Aikido is nonviolence. If you want violence, and ego boost, practice and learn an art that gives you the adrenaline rush you seek. I respect all martial arts, and each one has its own goal, and to me, Aikido is helping me find peace within me and someday I'll stop fighting my worst enemy... Me. Dealing with PTSD after coming back from Afghanistan is not cool, but I have found the answer; and that is to learn to control my "self". I don't need to kill or kick ass and take names to feel good. I just want a strong spirit and to live in peace, and in order to do that I must follow and truly learn the meaning of The Way I have chosen. You should too, if you choose a martial art. Don't judge a book by its cover... read it.
LonelyRyu Well said, brother. I'm looking for inner peace too. I came across this video after picking up this book today titled "The art of peace" by Morihei Ueshiba. I will let you know if it is a good read when I'm done reading it. As far as what you said, I believe it will fall on deaf ears. Most people are not patient and want something fast...techniques instead of spiritual development. I have a friend who wants to spar me in boxing with boxing rules and he doesn't understand that I practice self defense for real situations. In boxing or MMA there is no eye gouging, biting, strikes to vital areas like neck and private parts. My friend is a great guy, but he like most people are so caught up with cage fighting and boxing as real fighting. So I basically would be at a huge disadvantage with sparring for sports rather than real life situations. Your comment is a breath of fresh air and you don't read comments like that today with a lot of trolls around. I wish you luck in life, and I would have no issue exploring ideas with you.
I absolutely agree with your comment. I do practice Aikido and my Japanese sensei (6th dan) even told me that if I'm purely after learning how to beat up my opponents whether in combat sports or street fights, I'm in a wrong place. Because the ultimate goal of Aikido (and I believe other traditional martial arts) is not to just get out there and fight to win whenever you want. It is basically to master how to maximize your ability to harness the physical capability at will under any circumstances without losing calmness and focus mentally. He also told me that the reason for the goal is that we all have two limitations, one is physical and another one is mental, and we all feel the mental limit first. That is why people tend to give up on things in life way before they hit their physical limit (or achieving something in this physical life). So Aikido (O-sensei's teachings) is to develop the ability to improve on once's mental limitation/capacity through the consistent training so that they can take further physical action to improve their life quality in many aspects of their lives. ... And the Aikido training is the condensed version of this life lesson itself. Apparently, Ancient Samurai Warriors devoted their entire lives to master this ability and that's where "emptying your mind (= stillness/calmness) should a situation arises" came from. Because to overcome the situation, they all knew that after all, it is the mental strength/stillness that counts over physical skills as it is their mind that controls their body. This is seen often out there in sports like those who are so good at it (being skillful) in their practice but cannot win in a competition. People like that may want to learn Aikido or similar traditional martial arts that teach what I mentioned here. So I'm learning Aikido to walk towards that goal and I know it will be a lifetime learning but that's okay as long as I keep progressing. Yeah, so for those who purely want to learn the "physical combat skills", go to a kick-boxing, MMA gym, BJJ dojo or any other places that teach just that. Because the traditional form of Aikido is not designed to win in the modern combat sports (while some Aikido techniques can be effective in some real situations if applied correctly at the right moment). If, however, you have a desire to keep improving your life quality in general as a person by learning and understanding something more mental/spiritual through good physical training, Aikido would be one of the good choices to take up IMHO. But choose your teacher carefully.
I like Aikido for not only it's self defense applications, but it also teaches you to be a better person and to control your emotions. 2 examples of what I believe Aikido to be (I never practiced it) - the 1st one comes from the movie "Enter the Dragon." In a particular scene, a cocky fighter wanted to test his skills against Bruce Lee on a boat where they were traveling to a martial arts tournament. When Bruce was asked what his fighting style was, he said, "The art of fighting without fighting." The cocky fighter wanted to see how it worked, so Bruce Lee said that they could take a tiny boat that was attached to the larger boat they were on to go to a deserted island to fight. The cocky fighter agreed and got on the smaller boat first. Bruce Lee pretended to get on the boat and hopped off as soon as he untied the rope to the smaller boat. Now the cocky fighter drifted alone at sea looking and feeling stupid. That to me is Aikido because Bruce Lee resolved the conflict peacefully. 2nd one comes from "Baki the Grappler" anime. In the anime it was a martial arts tournament between an Aikido master and a kick boxer. The kick boxer couldn't hit the aikido master and the aikido mastered used the kick boxers force against him to almost KO him. People in the audience wanted the Aikido master to finish the opponent off and he said it was unnecessary and walked off. But before he walked off, he told the crowd that his opponent could not attack him anymore and therefore it caused a balance where he didn't feel the need to humiliate his opponent. These 2 scenarios got me interested in Aikido. Not the martial arts per se, but the spiritual and philosophical the martial arts discipline incorporates. I wish one day I can become a complete peaceful person and not get worked up over small things like who's right and who's wrong and worrying about what negative things people say about me. Whether people disagree about the martial arts being practical or not, I still respect it's teachings.
Lol. "The true purpose of martial arts is not having to use it." And there I thought that the true purpose of martial arts was that it is martial, not some yoga or other zen story. Doing something that will never have any use has another name, you know. It's called waste of time. Even art has its uses, you know. Not physical, but still.
I think that what is amazing about him is that he not only looks fast from the other person's point of view, but also moves faster than any other young player, even from a distance and from a third-person perspective. There are people in Japan today who can imitate one element of his technique, but I don't know of anyone who can move faster and more freely even in old age than in young people.
Вот так вот и я 3 года в школе когда учился просидел на этом айкидо, прослушал всю невероятную философию и пошел на дзюдо. На дзюдо первые результаты были уже через неделю.)
I was once of practitioner of AIkido for 4 years. Just for an info Aikido is an Art not Martial arts and theres very big difference about the two. I trained in Boxing, Taekwondo and MMA but after i introduced in Aikido i was amazed it help me to learn how to self control, being a hot headed, short temper and love of being in a fight before. Even someone provoke me i dont jump in, i dont easily bait myself to start a fight w/ no much reason. Theres nothing wrong if u evade troubles it doesnt make u coward, It will come a time that you to stand for it but as long u can take just be patient.
@@zaco-km3su Martial Arts must have 2 sides. The martial side which is combat and the art which is the philosophy behind the combat. It`s a way of life. All martial Arts, be whatever it may, focus both on body and spirit, not on violence and that`s the main difference from combat sports. MMA and whatever style may be used on those competitions is just plain combat, or even pure violence, but not a martial art. Also we must remember the reason for martial arts existence. It exist simply to kill. All martial arts, be from Korea, China, Japan, etc were created to protect themselves and kill their enemies. It is not for show. Last but not least, I honestly doubt that a true martial arts master will be joining and MMA event of something similar. They have no need for that. Those so called "martial artists" that join these competitions are mostly people with just the basic training that decide to show off what little they know.
@@nilomartinezjr4108 I agree with what you're saying but not all martial arts were made to just flat out kill your opponent. They could be to stop conflict all together.
