O'Sensei would have been very powerful for 51 yrs old and anyone who has ever felt kokyo power from any senior instructor at the same age will have felt the same amazing power. Great video.

@@longdongsilver4719 I read about it în the book "The power of harmony" >the biography of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido - by John Stevens, but also many other amazing abilities of Morihei. Morihei Ueshiba is the greatest martial arts practitioner in history. At the age of 80 he could disarm any opponent, knock down any number of attackers, pin down his opponent with a single finger. In 1942, during World War II, he had his third state of enlightenment, realizing the absurdity of war, understanding that the true path of the warrior is the Art of Peace, the true spiritual warrior being the one who has the ability to conquer using the force of love. An aikido practitioner does not aim to destroy the opponent, but to control the aggression, so that the aggressor understands that it is not through violence that he will be able to get what he wants. Aikido is M.Ueshiba's gift to humanity, it is truly a spiritual path that can transform the practitioner in a profound way, on all level. Although invincible as a warrior, he was primarily a follower of peace, abhorring fighting, war, violence of any kind. Besides, Aikido, the martial path founded by him, translates as "Art of Peace". In 1925, following a fight in which he, unarmed, faced the furious attacks of a master swordsman, he had his first enlightenment, as a result of which he understood that a true warrior must constantly manifest Divine Love. In December 1940, following the practice of a purification ritual, he experienced the second state of enlightenment, after which he understood that the techniques should be used for the cultivation of life, virtue, wisdom and not for the destruction of people.
All before John Wick. Amazing footage and quality. What a find. Just think that the world was recovering from WW1, getting over the Great Depression all leading in to WW2.
Its great to read more valuable background information of this unique historical film. And, great observation and i agree, how fluid it is, what a KI NO NAGARE ! i might add its already pretty circular movements, it defenitely looks a lot like the modern aikido and what Kisshomaru teaches. So much for all the talk that fluid and circular aikido is just Kisshomaru style aikido and not the "real aikido" of the Founder.
Maitre Ueshiba nous indique n'avoir rien inventé et que les techniques existent depuis que le monde est monde ,que cet art martia allait dans le sens de la protection de la vie et dé ce fait visait a arrêter l'attaque et par la même le combat habituel qui par ailleurs nous obséde et nous détruit ...

Aikido is a beautiful art to see. Very fluid and calm. The wrist locks can be brutal ( I’ve trained with a high level practitioner , once ) . But a lot of what you see is not what it seems. I doubt it would be as effective in a real situation. But I could be wrong? 👍
All humanity is poorer without him. But reading some comments, I think this is right. Humanity didn't deserve it. Certainly not this “humanity”. A humanity that literally descends to the same level as animals, and therefore it is good that it is only interested in what happens in the "cages".
Some of the Imperial Japanese intelligence agents (sekihotai?) received Aikido training initially, but this was changed to karate later because it is quicker to learn and become effective.
Aikido is probably cool even useful as an energetic practice like tai chi etc, but let's be honest guys, as martial techniques it is a myth. And none of the footage with Master Ueshiba actually show somebody attacking him with power and skills. It is only formal pseudo-attacks by disciples, respectful of their master, not resisting even a split second. It is just choregraphy. And aikido has been painfully debunked at the begining of MMA era. But it the whole concept looks good.
Hmmm.....I beg to differ. Ai Ki is an energy based art. Yes the demonstrations are face value ....but the principals of meeting force, following force, power/energy misdirections/ reversals simple 3 sided physics to totally dis balance an openet while simultaneously employing well practiced boxing to take down/ grappling are VERY real, not to mention a core principal in every REAL martial art. It's also about balance awareness... disruption....such as ....judo, shoot wrestling, core ju jit su.... Plus let's be honest here ....what it really comes down to is who the teacher is/was and how they taught it.....for example,. The man that taught me aikido concepts was an Olympic boxing coach to Roy Jones Jr and additionally one of the first Americans to knock a Thai Boxer out in Thailand.....safe to say the guy taught me how to street fight. He also taught me about flowing energy and how to manipulate it....then how to blend both with real functionality.... Tell ya the truth....I used to practice Ai Ki in mosh pits...no shit. Most fun I ever had ! Also had more people buying me drinks after taking a few minutes at set break to talk with all the guys I threw around like rag dolls but never let em hit the floor...it was just practice....wasnt trying to hurt people. Question to you.....how long have you trained martial art and what systems?
He was undefeafed for decades. When this video was made he was recognized as the leading martial artist in Japan and this was Japan gearing up for war. His ukes in these videos are all high level jujitsu practioners. I trained with one of his students in 1989, a 70 year old woman and she rang my bell. 15 minutes of my life where I desperately wished I was somewhere else. You simply don't know what you are talking about.
My friend, I want to be kind with you. If you are looking for a martial practice that you can reveal to your opponent in the context of a competition, that's simply not Aikido. If, however, you are looking for an effective technique in the context of a real aggression by someone who does not know and does not imagine that his target is capable of defending himself, there are several, and it just so happens that Aikido may also be among these. While I don't want to change your opinion in any way (which in fact I sincerely hope remains unchanged), I hope to have at least raised the doubt that you and some other "debunkers" may simply not be able to contextualize a martial art, simply because your concept of martial art is limited solely to what happens inside a cage.
It looks fancy if you look at Ueshiba. But instead of him focus on students and how they attack. Everything you see here is mindcontrol to achieve something that is fake.
If you watch closely, he takes their center first before throwing them and of course the defender is also demonstrating how to fall correctly(escape the technique) in different situations.
@@alanpower8234 I knew a guy that actually fought a challmatch against Morihei Ueshiba in the 1950's. He said Osensei was very good . Most people do not understand that what you see in a martial arts demonstration is not a representation of that art's combat effectiveness, it is a showcase of the skills of the presenters in that art. Whether that is something like this video, karate students doing katas, TKD guys breaking boards, or BJJ students doing self defense demos.
Couldn't you have said from the beginning that you are a worthy representative of the failure of this society, without necessarily revealing it under every comment ? Unless you actually think you said something intelligent …

Did'nt you mean the most overrated?

Semplicemente meraviglioso
Interesting that Osensei demonstrated defenses against tackling/double leg takedown type attacks. That is something missing in modern Aikido training.
All before John Wick.
Amazing footage and quality. What a find.

Amazing

Please notice that Sensei telegraphs to the UKE how and where to attack. No spontaneous movements. Just a Choreographed dance😴
If you watch closely, he takes their center first before throwing them and of course the defender is also demonstrating how to fall correctly(escape the technique) in different situations.
Of course, it is a scripted demonstration.
It would be less embarrassing to just say you do not understand what you are looking at.

How do you think samurai practiced disarming an opponent without killing each other? This is an ancient art made modern.
Is this the birth of bullshido?
