Superb interview. Excellent background story that I'm sure most of us didn't know. Thank you so much for creating and posting this. We are very grateful to you and especially to your excellent video TH-cam production team! Because of them, all of us are able to see, enjoy, learn from, and be inspired by your Aikido, passed down to you by your father and from Kobayashi Yasuno Sensei. :-) Domo Arigato.
Olá sencei, tudo bom eu sou seu fã, sem duvidas eu acho você o melhor mestre de AIKIDO DO MUNDO, eu gostaria de pedir pro senhor gravar vídeos aulas ensinando AIKIDO Passo a passo para nós aprendermos aqui no BRASIL , UM GRANDE ABRAÇO 🇧🇷🙏🙏
Interesting. I am a Chinese martial arts, mainly taijiquan practitioner, who started practicing aikido too, 11 years ago. It took me some time to find what is common between taijiquan and aikido but I am finding more and more in common every day. I am very fond of Shirakawa sensei, his aikido is a real inspiration for me and I hope one I will have a chance to learn from him. My question is: what taijiquan lineage is Shirakawa sensei practicing?
It's good to hear that you are an opened mind person, speaking English, going to Canada, and Europe, I believe this is critical. Judo kendo and katori shinto ryu are excellent, ... Aikido is a budo, but will you go as far as to say that it's still relevant in the realm of self protection ? Self defense ? If yes to what extent ? What about the "new ideas" that bring on the table more "knowledge" more understanding of human psychology, human body mechanics, human fight, human longevity. Because we need some flexibility in our mind as you said, I personally had to expand my understanding of human psychology and combat by exploring especially the Brazilian jiu-jitsu which has a lot to offer in this modern world. I feel now more comfortable in my mind, because I have a holistic understanding of human combat, which makes me better understanding the relevance of human body preservation, love, and collaboration. Aikido expert do not talk that much with other experts. We need to see that for the aikkdo community and the martial arts world in general.

Oh u visited morocco..if I may ask, when was that?
One of his dojos was located in Sendai/Minami. Wasn't this the area most affected by the Fukushima disaster?
Shirakawa is his surname. Ryuji is his given name.
Chinese and Japanese write opposite from English: surname + name + title.

Though I can't remember why I wrote the original comment. As far as I can see, every other commenter already knew that.
да уж, Ширакава молодец, это вам не хухры-мухры)))))
