I'm one of those people who've never done Aikido and still listens to a lot of your videos. I'm mostly here, because I feel nurished by the way you talk about martial arts. Whether it be ones personal connection to a martial art or a larger cultural Perspective.
I have finally watched all of your videos! Thank you again Tengu for your help with starting me on Korean Martial Art History--it will take a long time but someday I will be on your level and better both as a historian and as future Martial Arts instructors. I hope to connect with you in a Aikido-Hapkido historical connection video since my credentials and interests are in a style of Hapkido. I hope to see more of these bigger history videos because they're fun!
Spectacular exposition is wonderful. Weapons routines and even theater stage and film are all great expressions for The Art of Peace. "Seriously mocking matters of seriousness" was how Gyaku Hamma described it once.
In your video "Budo: A Tale Untold" I wanted to make sure I was not misunderstanding your argument. Are you basically saying that most of the martial arts taught by most of the Ko-ryū schools we see today were not used by the samurai, used in combat, or taught/used in samurai military training? Or am I missing something?
You showed so nicely how origin stories correlate with native national propaganda, but not how these stories migrate? The "blue basement" story isn't really an origin story - at least not one from the past. "We distilled the useful pacifist content out of the Samurai arts" story (while I understand is outdated) actually is an example of effective migration to the West. I do taiji, and I wonder whether this could be done with a relevant narrative...
You’re gonna relay 99 % on other martial arts you’ll learn a few wrist locks but when you need a whole other martial art to make aikido functional at all even on the base level then it’s a worthless art.

Thank you for this, so much brain dead martial arts content on RUclips. Thank you for producing something with depth, context, and thought.

Make Aikido Great Again?
It was never good to begin with 😂😂😂
@Mrcashewww well the joje was right there
I think Aikido can 'work' if one cross trains in say Kyokushin Karate or Greco Roman wrestling
