13 Jo Kata Fine details

[@tonboaikidocambridge]

I really appreciate the clarity of your teaching Sensei and the historical context you transmit the information. Your movements are natural, relaxed and yet obviously powerful. So many versions exist on the internet/KZbin some good and some not so good (in my humble opinion) but your videos are the closest to those of Saito Shihan's Bukiwaza as can be validated by a quick search and comparison with his videos. Thank you again for maintaining his Iwama Aikido traditions 🙏🏻

Wow, thank you, I have always try to show. what Saito sensei taught me as each year seeing him over twenty year around the world he like everyone changes but his basics never did;. He was adamant that O-Sensei would scold him from the grave if he altered what he had been taught. If I can go some way to keeping this style alive I shall do my best and thank all those who are trying to do the same located around the world that had the pleasure of being taught directly by himself.

looks soooo cool. i worried about those glass doors throughout though lol

[@Tony_Sargeant]

I love your comment about the glass as it never entered my head due to Saito Shihan teaching me to have Zanshin all the time and not just do a 'Dance with the. Jo."

A strong execution of 13 Jo Kata with fine details indeed. Thank you Tony Sensei!

[@Tony_Sargeant]

Details R what Saito sensei drummed into us all, but. sadly so many have forgotten his teachings, and show too much flow and not enough power.

[@nickregnier1]

@@Tony_Sargeant it is nice to see how well you remember the details. We are feeling very blessed to have you showing Aikido from Saito Sensei... Thank you!

[@Tony_Sargeant]

I try to keep to my word. When in Iwama Saito sensei asked me to give my word that I would keep his and 0 Sensei's art taught in Iwama alive. This is all I can do and hope that my mind will stay remembering until it is time to let another do it.

[@nickregnier1]

@@Tony_Sargeant Indeed! And Thank you for doing this Tony Sensei!
