Hello, I'm sending you a message 🇯🇵 from Japan. I am honored to introduce Minoru Mochizuki sensei. ❤Minoru Sensei told me to practice not only Aikido but also Judo while he was alive. He also said that he should practice Aikido for those who practice judo. Yoseikan is not just for Aikido and Judo.
Minoru Mochizuki’s history, talents, and lineage were one of a kind. Today, his Budo can be viewed as a unique compository system. How he defined Budo at the Aikido Friendship event was an excellent explanation that all those interested should listen to. Further, the way Mochizuki’s structured his curriculum was very much influenced by all his time with Dr. Kano. The period that Mochizuki learned and practiced Aikido was before WWII with Morihei Ueshiba. There was a point later in Mochizuki’s life when the Aikikai requested that he no longer used the word Aikido in the marketing of his Budo although his relationship with Morihei was solid. If there is someone here that knows more about this situation, I would be interested to know more. Again, Mochizuki’s system of Budo was under a composite method, and with the request of the Aikikai to not use Aikido in his marketing, I can see both sides. At this time, I practice Aikido in Tokyo under one of Shoji Nishio Sensei’s top students Shishiya Ichiro Sensei. With my background in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo, there have been a few times at the beginning where I asked Shishiya for example, “From this point in irimi nage, can I pressure uke’s head and shoulder down towards the tatami?” Shishiya Sensei’s response is that is a different Budo or Martial Arts to do something of that nature.
I think that if you whant more information about this ligneage, you can check Yoseikan... "Yoseikan" was the name of Mochizuki's training hall in Japan, and there is some old footage on youtube. Some of is students did perpetuate his teachings in the same way they where taught (the Yoseikan dojo taught different martial arts, but each one was taught separately) and on youtube there is maily "Yoseikan Aikido". Also Minoru's son Hiro Mochizuki who leanred from his father but was also a high level karate Wado-ryu practitionner went to France where he was very influenced by French boxing (and married a french woman), and created a new martial art, some kind of melting pot of his fathers dojo and more that he named "Yoseikan Budo" (no affiliation watsoever with "Yoseikan Aikido"). There is a ton of videos of that on youtube, a lot of them in french, and it can be extremely different from one thing to another as it is extremely eclectic (kata, light sparring, full contact, disarm competition, various weapons kata, weapon sparring, cardio-boxing/pilates type stuff, horse-archery...).
Another great one Chadi! One of the recommended videos afterwards was "Aikido knife sparring & Tankendo 合気道 短剣道" by you. And I ended up watching it, and noticed that the Tomiki Aikido guys actually used some of these techniques in their competition.
Thank youChadi for your video! Here's the names we use at the Yoseikan for those technics 1- Yuki chigai (uchi te-waza) 2- O soto gari 3- O irimi senkai kata ha jime (sutemi) 4- Do Gaeshi Sutemi (sutemi) 5- Sumi gaeshi (sutemi) 6- O irimi senkai ude tomoe (sutemi) 7- Tenbin Nage (soto te-waza) 8- Kote gatame hiki tate (uchi te-waza)
Those throws and chokes are not "lost" in Aikido; they were taken from other styles and added to his Aikido system. Other than being an Aikidoka, Mochizuki was also a high-ranking Judoka well-versed in several schools of Koryu Jujitsu, so his Aikido naturally contains a mix of techniques from all the styles he'd studied.
His yoseikan dojo system is rly good. And he is direct disciples of karate, jodo, and aikido founders, expert of kenjutsu, which is rly crazy. Literally a real samurai. I hope their dojos got more popularity.
The throw at 48 seconds in, that you called kokyu nage, looks like a throw we learned as Dai Sharin: the great wheel. Some excellent variations of yoko wakare and tani otoshi etc. Great to see. Thank you.
Chadi you are wise and your assessment is on target. Aikido is in need of more instructors like the gentlemen mentioned. Once again thank for producing another brilliant video.
This is a great video, thanks a lot! Sensei Mochizuki founded Yoseikan dojo, I graduated in Yoseikan Budo with a direct student, Adriano Amari and this will Always be my technique background 🙏💪👏🏼👏🏼🥋🙇♂️
Very important for randori is forward motion, if you move backwards you will be crowded by enemies, moving forwards means letting your opponent be where your center is (by moving away from it), thus your opponents gets to attack each other instead. O'sensei talked about having one one opponent attacking you 10.000 times, and so you fight on in constant motion. It is a great exercise in economy of motion and taking quick decisions, using Irimi and balancebreaking in a fast flow. Of course it has it's roots in sword technique, try it with swords a it's value becomes much more apparent.
It's so important when you start traditional Japanese karate to study judo and aikido in tangent. My teacher also stressed boxing and full contact while also practicing complete control while sparring. Two years before even getting to spar until we passed that we had control of our strikes. The more people who dropped out fueled me to keep going. Great content as usual.
Hi i like the way you analyse the martial arts i have always liked aikido and see a rising star who is constantly pushing the envelope of aikido beyond its original Aikido Shinburenseijuku if you have not seen him definately worth a watch he does things that i have never seen before you may recognise these techniques
A lot of these techniques are still taught in Aikido. They are just not in the grading syllabus. They are variations of basic moves. Aikido puts a great emphasis on variations. Aikido is not just the the syllabus, it is a lot more than that. If you have a good teacher with a great depth of Aikido knowledge you would get introduced to all those techniques.
Nice to meet you, The teachers demonstrating in this video are Terumi Washizu sensei and Akira Tezuka sensei. I am happy to see videos of the two teachers in their younger days.
Chadi I have had a very hard end of the year. However, my judo is getting better. I am successful in randori against guys heavier than me. I go with the flow. And strangely enough, like my style, I have been navigating through my problems the same way. This is no coincidence. I think this is where judo is more than a sport and can be a gentle way of living. Does that make sense? Would you like to elaborate on this in a video someday?
Great breakdown, as always!👍 Modern Aikido is nothing more than watered down Aikijutsu. However, it does have some great defensive footwork and blending applications that can be integrated into any art.😎
I've done martial arts my entire life. Boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, BJJ, Krav Maga and Aikido. I've been to the Humbo Dojo in Japan, they take it very seriously. I think in America it has been McDojoed but people who practice it everyday that $h!+ hurts. Tiny elderly bald guys put me in air. I am 6 feet 220 these guys were 5.5 130.
great video, but I get the impression you're saying that these are "lost" techniques. All of these and many more are still routinely practiced in yoseikan budo.
You think you're more competent than Gozo Shioda? You clearly don't have any clue what you're talking about. Randori within aikido has rules. It is an exercise with specific goals. Just like MMA and sport fighting competitions everywhere have rules and have training exercises designed to achieve certain things. It's not a free for all. The fact you don't understand that context matters simply demonstrates your own ignorance on the subject.
Chadi you should cover the photo set taken of Ueshiba at the Noma dojo if you haven't already. There's some newaza including submissions and pins among them. I really wonder why he didn't add many of these more effective techniques to the main curriculum (or at all even).
Its a shame that Tomiki and Mochizuke didn't get it together at some point.... Why is it that that the most successful aikidoka are also judoka? I personally think both these students of Kano/Ueshiba saw the real and effective techniques, then applied them in their own individual systems.... Aikido does work, but like anything, its ALL in the application 👐 Keep what was useful and discarded what was useless... For any martial art it has to move with the times and evolve into something which keeps its effectiveness to survive...
Historically, were not Judo and Aikido Schools founded from techniques extracted from the great Ju Jitsu Schools of Old Japan !?! Both Kano and Ueshiba were early on practitioners in these schools such as Daito Ryu for example.
I do agree it would be richer like you said, but if those throws were used in Randori, it would be hard to prepare for the second and third attack from Sutemi (throw away, last ditch)position. Hence why I don’t think they added it, but it is still effective for 1-1 defense. Let me know what you think?(Aikido, Katori Shinto ryu practitioner)
I don't understand the tone of the video like if the work of Mochizuki sensei is lost or he failed to "improve aikido" like there is only one aikido (or jujutsu). He made his own brand Yoseikan aikido/jujutsu/karate, that now lives in different styles like Nihon Taijisu, Yoseikan Budo, Gyokushin ryu Aikido, Yoseikan Aikido, and other derived styles.
Chadi can I request you list the name of the moves shown in your video description from now on so we don't have to rewatch the video a bunch of times? Also makes it easier to search up
All that the Aikikai and Yoshinkan have to do is simply take in the Kodokan Curriculum as is. That's it. Change nothing. Adapt nothing. It will enrich both schools.
Of the top technical breakdown videos you've done, Chadi... and that is really saying something! Several of these applications are masterful. One of the sutemi shown in this video is one of my personal favorites: th-cam.com/users/shortspqmgID8DIkk?feature=share
Unfortunately many things today are TH-cam education. I meet some guy who says he knows aikido and no one asks any lineage how many years he study ,if this dude really knows what he’s talking about.
Weapon attacks (sword) "Knife hand attack" More for weapon attacks than unarmed attacks (that's my theory) "Aikido and street self defense" debunked videos. What say you? Never done Aikido, just personal observations. Ninja stuff There are some useful bits and pieces also (if compiled and modernized) for the military. Again just passing observations. Video Title Missing the point (as far as applications of various Martial Arts) Who knows who might read this stuff...
As an Aikidoka i only can say i am deeply grateful that the founder of Aikido explicitly excluded the concept of competition and that Aikido does not include judo attitude. Aikido is very distinct from Judo, just as Judo is very distinct from Aikido, there is really no point in mixing two different kind of feelings. It is like saying Judo would be so more richer if it includes kicks and punches from karate. You can study and practise various budo, but you can not mix them. You can learn two languages simultaneously, lets say Chinese and Japanese, but you should not mix them.
These are like many of the practical applications / variations, the end of the spectrum also practiced in Yoshinkan. From an Aikido perspective, these are extra techniques and are available in every aikido interaction. Some dojos train them also. However, they're generally unnecessary, and possibly contradict, in practising the fundamental principle of the modernised art, which is intended as 'the way of peace'. These applied variations also delimit the range of the population who are able to participate. Notice that there are only young fit men, while aikido practice is intended to bring all demographics together, not so they can learn how to defend themselves in a violent world, but to learn how to work together in order to contrbute to a more peaceful one. If you want the sort of techniques shown in the video, it's better to do Judo, as this is the competitive and more martial end of the jutsu spectrum.
Having practiced both traditional Jujutsu (various ryu ha) and Hapkido extensively, the more I feel Hapkido has retained a lot of the essence of older Jujutsu styles.
I met A gut who studied in Japan many years ago, as foot work in hand speed were like that a boxing, there were throws they were unexpected foot sweeps everything was a fight he did not worry about fancy wrist grabs like the majority of what people think is aikido today. He explained all the sword movements or strikes, strikes, you never hear that today about a keto it it’s seemingly always if he does this I’ll just grab his hand out of mid air and do a fancy wrist grab.

Real crazy to think about this things
