4th Kyu Techniques & Test Requirements Part 2

Yoshimitsu Yamada, a direct student of O Sensei for more than ten years, is an 8th dan and the chief instructor at the New York Aikikai. Currently, he is Chairman of the Board of the United States Aikido Federation and the Latin America Aikido Federation. He is the author of Aikido Complete and has made multiple aikido training tapes.
Yamada Sensei is well known for his clear and strong basic technique. He teaches seminars all over the world where thousands of students attend his classes.
Quote:
"We must keep the spirit of budo no matter how we practice."
Q: You were one of the earlier uchideshi at the Aikikai. What year did you start?
A: When I joined as an uchideshi only Tamura Sensei and Arikawa Sensei were there. Yasuo Kobayashi was still in college. He came to the dojo every day. I entered when I was 17. I am 53 now, so it must have been 1955.

yeah, cool to see some classic instructional video from a yamada sensei? tell me was it some 15-20 yrs. back, are they still teaching the same movements?

[@TheKraftykid]

I'm pretty sure they're different now. I'm taking the 4th kyu and many of the techniques in this 2-part video are now tested in 3rd kyu. So 4th kyu is not as difficult as this video portrays. Sorry you got a response 9 years late lol

13 years later, this pretty much looks like my 4kyu exam I'll be having in three months.

[@moralapostel]

This has got to be one of the most conditioned Ukes i have seen in a long time. I think he could make a 4th kyu look just as good as Yamada Sensei in this video.

That's Donovan Waite Shihan. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to attend his seminar at my dojo before he passed.
