Advanced Aikido Techniques Part 3

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.

Thank You Master Yoshimitsu for your most inspiring moves. What I would like to see more is moves that defend against grasps. In most street fights there is either punches or grasps first then grappling. My concern is not being able to take down someone grabbing me from behind with a choke or from the front with both hands. I humbly Thank You Master Yoshimitsu.

i started aikido 2 days before.looks very interesting.they say that they can kill someone whenever they want but what is more important is to remain calm and cool

[@qosqo]

take in mind that he is givin a distracting punch on ukes face first than back to the fist, and notice that there is always the possibility of changin the technique.

[@erik5623]

the one he did at 1:40, he let go of his wrist to back fist...bad idea

[@rockstarplayer4gamer619]

[@thijsgeurts5003]

good randori

[@slimpickinsworld]

Everyone respect this man because he stresses the fact that a knife is dangrous and you can t always win the fight. He is very genuine in my opinion. To me this kind of self- defense is the best there is and anyone whom thinks otherwise is foolish. I would also like to add that a taped session with just the movements themselves might allow people to see the true art of this defense. 2 hands will always overpower 1 along with the fact that you use lifes natural forces and momentum to throw people

[@rockstarplayer4gamer619]

wow ❤❤❤

[@JohnLennon100]

I have a question ....I've been studying aikido from the line of Saotome Sensei for a while and I'm tired of this drills of one finger, and these silly things instead of focusing more on the real aspects of self defense...is all Aikido like that or is just the school I am practicing? Thanks!

[@hasderkionbu]

very clear video!!

[@chickoxerri]

Very nice basic techniques. Its great for students who are getting ready for Dan grade tests up to 4th dan. A very good reference movie to archive.

[@nhancao6355]

that the point of aikido
aikido is only for defense and harmonize with the opponents not to kill or break them even you can easily do that
aikido is a budo and budo is about spiritual not only about killing or harming like other martial arts

[@rockstarplayer4gamer619]

this is so cool I'm watching this video over and over again I'm so love this master💛💛💛

[@aiamaloi]

nice

[@jacquovia]

I like aikido because its about spiritual harmony and not about attack. It also teaches you to center and using ki. Very spiritual.

[@rafafleitassibeth]

Thank you Sensei Yamada, I have practice with many aikido senseis y another martial arts teachers and I believe you really show the true nature of aikido, and inspire me a lot.
