Thank you for the civility of your responses to my comments. I appreciate that. Too many martial arts students get way too defensive of their styles/senseis. Since I have had a long history of interest in the sword, it was easy for me to translate that into the theories of Aikido. You obviously understand that of which you speak. You know, I think a lot of folks don't 'get' the basic principles of Aikido, hence, MANY ignorant comments are made by them. Thanks.
Most often what makes for a good demonstration are good uke. If the attack is sincere, full of energy, and the person is good enough to handle taking the technique at full speed, then the sensei can show something good. So, rather that saying congratulation to Takeno, i'd like to congrats the Uke here.
Yes, I'm aware of that. However, I still maintain that greater realism would serve the point of the demonstrations better. The motions of the attacker show very little commitment. Commitment in an attack is what allows Aikido to be so effective in real-life situations. Inertia comes as a result of commitment. It is the blending with, and consequent redirection of an opponent's inertia that accounts for the effectiveness of Aikido's movements. Of course I'm not saying anything new to you. Thanks!
I have a great deal of respect for Aikido. However, simply to make unfocused chopping motions that are obviously not even close to being directed at one's opponent doesn't do much to prove the ability of either uke or nage. Uke should make full-on attacks.
His two demos on here are two of the best i have seen on aikido.
impresionante, estilo unico y maravilloso.

those chopping motions represent bottles and knives.
that's all well explained i just wanted to know whether you knew they were movements for weapons essentially as it took me a while to work it out.

合気会系とは違う如何にも養神館って感じだなぁ
無駄にくるくるくるくる回らない無骨さが好き

Многие после такого коши наге бы не встали )))
Poor Uke.
bien trop brutal et destructeur pour être appelé "Aïkido" ... moi je nomme ceci "Aïki-jutsu"
