Its been a great year. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work on your podcasts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and families. Good Will and all that Charlie Brown stuff....😊

Two things i was looking for in this video. One was the very common and repetitive situation where dojos split up and become splinter groups. The rise of mixed styles to what MMA is today. And, number two, which would be how easy it was for people to proclaim themselves as a teacher. The hustle of martial arts. How do know the person teaching you really does nnow their stuff.

My favorite art

😊😊😊😊😊

The part where you're talking about naming a Dojo and using Japanese: Last night had a person interested in joining and she came to try out a class. After the class I asked her "What about Aikido are you interested in?" And she said "Oh, how do you say it?" She didn't know the pronunciation of Aikido. So yeah, we forget there are people out there that have almost zero knowledge of what we are doing.

Budo. We are all training like a stone in time it becomes a mirror. The Caterpillar struggles and accepts his place but in time he becomes a butterfly Zen buddhism taught me experience by doing Carl young. The shadow we all have this it's the angry side of us. We must accept it to become authentic Nietzsche. Authenticity is accepting your dark side. Sensei Fuyura said. True victory is self victory. We must accept or dark side and know it to be authentic. Agatsu matsu.

Sensei's, Thank you for your podcast. I really enjoy learning and listening to it because of the wisdom, experience and stories you share. I have an observation for your consideration. One of you, constantly interrupts whomever is speaking. It's been going on since the podcasts beginning. As a listener, its very distracting and injures the show's flow. It makes the conversation feel rushed to a conclusion that the interrupted speaker often gets to on their own eventually. I hope this observation helps make your show better and more successful. Thank you.

…such bullying bs! …in my humble opinion. …seems weak actually.

Your rationale is insufferable!

Étiqueté is not the best ideal, but actual values of equality and respect. You’re not going to « beat people up » and then going to have tea etiquette with them - that’s bs!

So interesting, « everyone would pound you on the mat! » …such great values of the art of peace!

A little weak, with respect to « beating people up » - have you begged forgiveness? If not, well… I don’t know, maybe you’re not worthy to teach? … I don’t know?!

That part about knowing someone is suffering..💯

My definition of traditional, for instance my Sensei is Mark Dufresne from New Bedford Ma. He studied with your sensei he teaches me his way of techniques. But for 10 years, I studied under Steven Seagal students and had that more snappier Aikido ,Sensei Mark he is trying to teach me to be able to combine both to be softer to create voids. So that that is my definition of traditional sensei Mark is traditional, received his shodan from Doshu and my doing Seagal Sensei is no traditional.

Aikido is legit ive trained with a guy that knew some when i was in the army. You will either fall with a breakfall or you will fall and hurt yourself.

I'm a huge fan of this podcast. This was a timely conversation for me! Life has been knocking me down lately ... but as in Aikido, my resilience is tested ...I get thrown down and I get up; I get thrown down and I get up .... Also, is there video available of the 50th Anniversary Seminar classes?

Some look more like Ude Kime Nage and not like a Sumi Otoshi though.

Buddha and Jesus taught that we are children of God and we are it. Bodidarma found Zen. He taught through training , meditation and experience we attain Satori. Musashi Mayamoto. He was a troubled kid who found Priest Takun who taught him how to read and educate himself and calligraphy and appreciation for living. Sensei Fuyura was Takun for me. Great show on netflex. Sanctuary “Sumo training “. Great show 😅

I really enjoyed listening to your conversations very informative and honest! I was a beginner student with Rev Fura (sp?) when he first opened the dojo in LA. I am 76 now and think of him often. I don’t know if I learned much aikido, but I will tell you I learned much humility just being around him. Best to you all!!

Parabéns pelo trabalho!

In our Dojo there is still the rule no drinking during class. My teacher is always like, as long as something is not life-threatening, it's doable.

Thanks for this podcast.My present Sensei is mean to me. I'm new to this dojo and I am a senior. However I have studied Akido over thirty years off and on Should I find another dojo

No wonder his students couldn't understand him? With all this religious mumbo jumbo, and the cultists which followed since, I'm not surprised that aikido now suffers ridicule from the MA world ... I'm just glad I was introduced to "aikido" through the Tomiki school.... It has its uses, but it is limited...

I was wondering if the opponents are jumping when performing the throws to avoid an arm/wrist break some of the time. And could you show some action in slow motion in the future?

In the future would you do a podcast about triangle, circle and square in Aikido.

@57:30 Not critiquing, just a question, if the ultimate goal is a mindset that avoids harm to other due to internalized empathy, why is it okay for your Sensei to cause harm to you for the actions of another? Shouldn't this type of intentional harm be avoided?

Thank you!! 🙏

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing 😊

😊😊😊😊😊

Good

I love Nikkei ❤❤😂

Great video, thank you!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Great concept, I use it during training and when I'm in any conflict 👍👍

The art of Bullshido!

50:55 - Nah...Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao both owned multiple mansions, owned fancy sports cars, etc. One does not have to live in poverty conditions to stay hungry and motivated. Floyd splurges like crazy. The difference is that he still makes sure to still train every single day.

15:05 - you should try testing yourself against a wrestler who has just one-year of high school wrestling experience. Test your decades of aikido training against a one-year high school wrestler. It doesn't have to be a brutal challenge. Just ask the wrestler to take you down and pin you. If you can prevent him from taking you down, then consider that really good evidence that your aikido "works". If you can prevent him from both taking you down and pinning you, then even better. Test yourself.

Ahhhha, uhhhhoooo, ahhhha Realy?

What the hell is this? One minute of technique and the rest is some kind of pajama dance

I keep on trying to find "devil's advocate" arguments for techniques derived from this but there's literally nothing I can find. yeah it looks nice and I think the history is pretty cool but coming from a fighting background I just wonder why people are so ardent in their defense of this? I have my personal feelings about it as it was taught to law enforcement and sadly it lead to horrendous situations where the techniques did not work at all as advertised and then the police during thee times resorted to brutality when their system they were taught didn't work. that aside I just cannot find anything that is of much martial value

How can you successfully execute this if uke is significantly larger than you?

More like Bullshido

Thank you for having a lot of fun. I still wouldn't compare Judo and Aikido. I'm sure you know Master Kenji Tomiki. He set out to enrich judo with techniques from Daito Ryu. From 1926, he studied under Morihei Ueshiba. And his system is now called Tomiki Aikido, although in truth, it should be called Tomiki Judo. Hence the external similarity, but the essence is completely different.
