Aikido Demonstration during the 2019 Kagamibiraki & Budo Hajime, at the Nippon Budokan.
Free techniques by Kanazawa Takeshi Shihan, 7th Dan, Umetsu Shou, 5th Dan and Matsumura Akira, 3rd Dan.
Aikido is a contemporary martial art founded mid 20th century by Ueshiba Morihei.
The founder studied several Japanese traditional martial arts while pursuing an intense spiritual practice. This leads to the transformation of the techniques, from “Jutsu” or “technical application” to “Do”, “the Way”, implementing a focus on the development of the practitioner’s character.
The founder used to say: "True martial arts are not meant for competing with techniques that rely on strength, but are a way for those who seek self-perfection".
Today’s demonstration consists of throwing techniques, grappling techniques, defense against knife and free techniques, by a delegation from the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, the Aikido world headquarter.
The Kagamibiraki is a traditional ceremony which translates to "opening the mirror" (symbolically).
Taking its roots in the Shogunate, it is strongly linked to Budo practice and it is natural that the Budo Hajime (first practice of the year) is celebrated at the same time.
At the Nippon Budokan, the ceremony is held at the beginning of January and consists in:
- The Kagamibiraki, with a historical reconstruction (in armor).
- Budo Demonstrations (by the 9 "official Budo").
- Budo Hajime (first practice of the year, all practitioners present can practice).
- The Oshiruko kai. “Oshiruko” is a traditional and popular sweet azuki bean paste soup with mochi (which symbolize the sharing of the mochi that was broken before during the ceremony).

Fantastic! Takes me back to 2016 when Kanazawa Sensei came for an Aikido seminar in Nairobi, Kenya.
Stable and powerful yet not aggressive
Terrible, total misunderstanding of the meaning of the art of O Sensei, where it is the harmony with the Ki, the fluidity, the follow the Ki in its flowing with spiraliform movement, the AI ki DO is the art of haragei belly, expression of interior and exterior tranquility, not Combat but movement without imposition of direction or projection but the search for emptiness.
A quick search on your online activity shows that you spend most of your time criticizing negatively other's practice.
First, you do not have any specific argument or demonstration to explain the criticism, which makes it a misinformed opinion at best.
Second, please allow me to quote a very smart non Aikido guy to state my opinion on that kind of criticism (see the quote below), which I believe is actually very relevant in Aikido's logic.
Finally, I understand you published a book that particularly emphasis on the relations between Zen and Aikido. As a specialist in religion, I can concur that Aikido and Buddhism are related, but certainly not Zen Buddhism. The parallel between Aikido and Zen is one of the most common misunderstanding of Ueshiba's mind and shows very little knowledge about the spirituality of the founder.
"I’ve found myself doing this thing a bit recently, where, if someone asks me what sort of music I like, I say “well I don’t listen to the radio because pop lyrics annoy me”. Or if someone asks me what food I like, I say “I think truffle oil is overused and slightly obnoxious”. And I see it all the time online, people whose idea of being part of a subculture is to hate Coldplay or football or feminists or the Liberal Party. We have tendency to define ourselves in opposition to stuff; as a comedian, I make a living out of it. But try to also express your passion for things you love. Be demonstrative and generous in your praise of those you admire. Send thank-you cards and give standing ovations. Be pro-stuff, not just anti-stuff."

@@seidobudostudies Thanks for the answer, my time does not pass him to criticize others, I do it when I see the degeneration of Ai Ki Do del O Sensei who was shintoista and his intent according to his religion, personally I'm not Shinto nor Catholic, I'm closer to Zen Buddhism and my practice is directed towards it, all religions lead to the same result, to the conscious union with the (divine), there are no religious limits in the practice of Aikido, everyone goes towards what he believes, but it must be a spiritual practice and not Yet another modern struggle, which is obvious that each one acts according to his inner maturity, but always presenting Aikido with the old conception of the samurai of domination over the other is wrong.
Some people would argue, including myself, that Atheist can have a form of spiritual practice.
Aikido as a way of analyzing human behavior and searching for an improved social harmony and happiness.
I find most religious people very presumptuous when they think their moral framework is superior to non religious ones. (And History proves me right on this).
@@seidobudostudies Here it is not a question of conceit but of clarification, however this is my last answer, too much this speech has spread to defend a practice and a partial view of art to KI DO. Perhaps he knows the meaning of the Ideograph AI KI DO; We are in a dark social historical period where there is a great confusion and where the image prevails to the substance. The meaning of the words is misrepresented for comfort or superficiality, AI ki DO: Harmonize with the Ki of the universe, move letting themselves be transported by the fluid movement and Spiral ki without forcing the movement no direction, do not meet the Own EGO But let yourself be carried away by the movement of your own mind towards the horizon inside AIKIDO techniques, the struggle does not center anything in this way.
@@giulianomarchi2536 "He" speaks and read Japanese fluently and "He" studied Japanese religion with an emphasis on Shinto and Omoto Kyo formally at university.
If your religion allows you to criticize people you know nothing about based on a video on which you don't know much about the context, then better to indeed stop the conversation here, I'm not really interested and I'm going to stick to my heretic atheist moral that consists in not criticizing people I don't know based on nothing.
