If you live within a few hours of Ann Arbor Michigan and want to learn the art of Aikido from the closest source to the founder (O'Sensei) I would highly recommend training under Aikira Kushida Sensei at the Genyokan Dojo. He is the son of the late Takashi Kushida who was the number 1 student of Gozo Shioda who was the number 1 student of Morihei Ueshiba the founder, you can't get closer than that if you want to learn Aikido in it's purest form. The Kushida family changed my life in the best way possible and they are incredible human beings and great Aikido instructors. You will have the opportunity to train with more than a dozen black belts on any given night at the Genyokan Dojo and that is worth the small cost to join. Last time I checked they are open 7 days a week and hold multiple classes daily.
Trust me bro, if you even try and resist against an Aikido technique you'll snap your wrist/dislocate your elbow/pop your shoulder. You learn pretty damn quickly to just flow with the technique. Also there is waaaaay more to life than money, and finally Aikido is built around many principles one of which is non-competitive. Being humble and knowing you can always improve is a driving force.
@@hypnoticskull6342 You mean like in this video at 2:00 when he knocks his student unconscious and has to be picked up off the mat by the other student? Shioda Sensei was doing authentic Aikido, today's Aikido has lost direction.
2:02 He SLAMS the Uke down so hard. You can see he didn't mean to hurt him. Only skilled uke can keep up with the master. Amazing. So proud to be Yoshinkan
Back in 1977, his students from Detroit would come down and teach us at the University of Toledo in Ohio. Sensei Shioda's brand of Aikido use punches amd kicks. If you were used to training in the O Sensei way, the falls are smooth. But the ukemi of Sensei Shioda is closely resembles the Judo ukemi. My son was trained under the traditional Aikido. One time he was in college and tried the training in Yoshinan. After one day, he just didn't like it. He had aches in parts of the body, he hasn't felt during 3 years of training traditional Aiido.
no, this video is the O-Sensei style... what we have now is some other style... that's why there is a confusion... the confusion came when O-Sensei died... Aikido was directed by Tohei Sensei who O-Sensei appointed, but Tohei promised to assure the financial survival of his family so Tohei Sensei gave Aikido to O-Sensei's son and family... and that's what we have now, the Aikido of a non-appointed son of O-Sensei. As everyone can see Gozo Shioda Sensei in this video is the real deal, he even knocked one of these students in this video unconscious, you can see where the student had to be carried off at around 1:59 in the video. In these days you had to instill fear in your students or they wouldn't believe your martial art worked, today you can't do that or else you'll have very few students. You can see this same Aikido master, Gozo Shioda put Bobby Kennedy's body guard (US Secret Service Agent) on his face in this video. th-cam.com/video/4KBbf-xAM38/w-d-xo.html
@@VenturaIT Thank you. I didn't know that Tohei sensei appointed Kissomaru Uyeshiba to take over. All I knew, this guy came to the co-recreational gym Purdue. A guy who said that he took a few lessons from Tohei sensei while the sensei was living with them in Hawaii, I was skeptical because he kept telling me; " lead his (uke's) mind". As soon as he placed his fingers on my temples, I was on the mat using a judo fall. Thanks, again. I don't remember the guy's name; he joined a frat the next semester. But I knew the girl that he liked- her last name was Hirata.
@@pkicng210 I don't think there was ever a press release about Tohei giving up the Aikido to the family, but I read, mostly Stanely Pranin's research, and something, not sure exactly what, said that Tohei promised O-Sensei to look out for the financial security of his family after he died. So, like in most dojo's, there were different ideas and everyone thinks they know best, so there was some clashes as to who was the boss after O-Sensei died, Tohei gave up Aikido to the family, he wrote a letter, then changed the name of his Aikido to something else, and later changed the name of his Aikido more than once... you can probably still find this on Aikido Journal. Tohei was big on the ki extension, relaxation, maintain one point, weight underside... which he called the 4 points of Aikido. If you read the historical accounts... O-Sensei never really taught much after the war and was always in and out and here and there and most of the famous 1st generation post war uchideshi didn't actually get a lot of time with O-Sensei, even if they were his personal travel companions. Most of the Aikikai was run by Tohei and probaly other students... I wasn't there so I only know what I've read... so many of the big names of modern aikido didn't train much with O-Sensei is what I finally discovered after a lot of reading and wondering why there were so many different Aikido styles and even styles that were complete opposites... like in a Chiba Sensei school if you hop up and down like O-Sensei and Tohei Sensei you'll almost get banned from the dojo, they are really into always keeping your feet on the ground and sliding around, some Aikido people will do almost anything to make sure their Aikido looks nothing like Tohei's Aikido... and even one of my teachers used to teach in a Aikikai school and was a bigname Shihan, he used to hold secret Ki-Aikido classes and told students not to tell anyone about it... and when Chiba Sensei would show up he'd get on the mat and act really stiff and gruff and tough, it was interesting to see that and figure it out... because for a while we had Chiba Sensei hard style teachers and another guy who was the more famous and more senior Shihan who taught secret Ki-Aikido classes and did everything different... and one of their aikido's worked and the other one didn't... so I got to see that first hand and I've been researching why some aikido works and others don't for over 25 years now and I did over 3 years of direct one on one online study with martial arts historian Stanley Pranin before he died. One of the funniest things is that people claim that Iwama is the true basic Aikido but if you look at it, it doesn't look anything like O-Sensei... right now I think that Shioda looks most like O-Sensei and Tohei second... Tohei was a ki master... my dad also studied and built the dojo where Seagal Sensei first started training in Aikido... which was a Ki-Society dojo not Aikikai, but it's now an Aikikai... just silly politics, but you know when someone's aikido works because they can move you with it. But you have to try it in person to know.
@@pkicng210 And I don't think the correct word is appointed, Tohei resigned... you can type this into Google and read Tohei's resignation letter from many sources: tohei sensei resignation letter From what I read, the son wasn't very interested in doing Aikido and wasn't an out of this world martial artist like his dad or like Tohei or Shioda, but the son wrote a lot of the books and commercialized the Aikikai around the world... he was good, like the grandson is now, but not doing feats of magic (that we know of) like O-Sensei and Tohei were known to have done. Also after the Tohei-Aikikai split the Aikikai stopped even saying the word ki, teaching any ki exercises as O-Sensei had taught, so this really made their Aikido weak, because O-Sensei used to teach a lot of these ki exercises, you can read in Sensei Roy Suenaka's book about how O-Sensei knocked him out cold (unconscious) with a wooden chopstick (the kind you eat with) as a demonstration of the power of ki. So after the Tohei split Aikido was never the same. Suenaka Sensei was also a karate black belt lineage holder.
Good point. But in fact if they don't flip they would end up with a broken wrist or other joint. Flipping is not because the sensei is so strong, but they are protecting themselves. Of course it is better if you go to a local dojo and try it by yourself.
Man, that dude got slammed at the two minute mark. Geez. I always hated being the receiving guy in demonstrations, I always ended up with sore wrists from the wrist locks. Those guys do not resist and go with what he’s doing so they don’t get hurt.
As just a martial artist you will see only the art and usually none of its flaws. As just a fighter you will usually see all the flaws and maybe on a decently small occasion some advantages. But as both a martial artist and a fighter you will see and know when something is practical and when something isn’t.
Aikido seems like a fine martial art to practice as a way of exercise. Much like tai chi is, they are just ways of making you feel good before you practice other more practical and effective martial arts for fighting.
My brazilian jiu jitsu coach explains it more simply: external martial arts (like shaolin or mma) focus on the hardening of the body and peak physical condition, being literally tough, flexible, and all that; meanhwile, internal martial arts are all about tecniques, i dont remember exactly how he teach it to me (becase he doesnt just know jiu jitsu, the tecnique wasnt one that i remember or have learn) but i have fight with him, he weights 20 kg less than me and is shorter, but he always defeat me without strenght, you FLOWING like if it was water xD. I dont know, internal martial arts are kinda scary, because he just move slowly with a smile while i dont know what to do, and i doesnt matter what i try he always end up finishing me. Because i move of city i dont train with him anymore, but i remember my parting gif, seeing how many times he could finish me in five minutes. (They were between six or eight if you ask)

It's been said Morehei Ueshiba got exposure to Baghua Zhang from China. Which there could be reasons someone from China would teach him and request not to be mentioned. It could been a friend of Takeda that's not told of, it could be a few things. As myself, I've heard different things about myself, some true some not. Theres some true that others doubt or disbelieve. So, who actually know what where and when of every Morehei Ueshiba exposure? Consider before 1980's, no one ever heard of Gracie Jiu Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. How many have heard of Isshinryu Karate? Just mentioning.
There is an app you can put on your phone to translate. My 10 year old grandaughter has one. it translates some of her Japanese words and phrases into English.
I love the sense of community within martial arts, but the culty shit even a “great” martial artist like this only seems like such because of how willing his students were to fall on their asses. Practicing something 1000 times slowly is waaaaaay different from play sparring with one of your instructors or taking on someone who buys into the culty behavior.
The guy got a concussion because he kept flipping for his Sensei. He wanted to show his Sensei out of respect he did it to him self because those throws would not really work and if they did you guys would be all over T.V. making millions of dollars just like every MMA fighter. Don't give me you touch a part of a wrist and a man flips that hard. You guy's fight I mean dance with only yourselves Why? Prove it to everyone go on T.V.
