[@MrTrevor181]

I have always found AIKIDO to be the 'gentleman' of the Martial Arts; its does not look aggressive, but its actions is as explosive.

[@hiberstry]

I am a Japanese who have been doing aikido for ten years in Tokyo, Japan. I think Her technique of aikido is tremendous.

[@Geekman333]

When practitioners make their martial art appear beautiful, there is a master at work. Beauty in motion. Thank you.

[@writerwruler]

Elegant, powerful and utterly convincing. This is the one to show to people who don't believe that Aikido can work without a compliant partner. Wonderful practitioner and amazing teacher.

[@moskito5864]

tension - release -- physics and common sense -- ♥AIKIDO♥ what a beautiful person Yoko Okamoto is, i can watch her for hours

[@benjaminroot7287]

I have had the distinct pleasure of training with Okamoto Sensei a few times over several years, both in the United States and in Kyoto; it has always been a pleasure and highly educational. Her movement is, as you can see, efficient and graceful. But be sure, this is the real thing; she wasn't shy about "trouncing" me. Demonstrations are for the rest of the class to see. Taking ukemi (at any speed) is about learning the feel. I felt it!

[@nalodude]

Obviously works. Looks deceptively easy. Obviously she has mastery. I'm grateful to whoever posted this.

[@ClydeDerrick]

every time I watch her I learn something. Her Aikido is unlike any other on the internet. As a Wing Chun Tai Chi person, I find it hard to believe she hasn't mixed with tai chi, because she teaches the principle.. Even if not, her version will work in real life better than any teacher I've seen. Crazy right. I watch Aikido to improve my tai chi chin na

[@PpAirO5]

Just my thoughts, her style does seem unlike anyone else. Beautiful to watch. 😊

[@charlievelez3510]

Would you mind further elaborating how she uses the principles and how that works for your taijiquan?

[@tassleoffsproductions6902]

I agree Derrick...I get lost in her art..I watch Aikido to improve my connection...

[@emanuelnascimento7267]

You're all right! She doing aikido looks a biuty charming dancing. Simply amazing! She deserves all credits and respect. Oss 🙇

[@dennissmith8371]

Patrick P Yamaguchi is in their

[@bobmartin8437]

She does a good job in explaining the concepts/principles behind the techniques. Very Good.

[@Ymirson999]

She did moves I've never seen any other aikido artist do before. And I've never heard of her before, but watching her demonstrations, I have to wonder why.

[@HillardEarl]

The point is most people have no idea how she is doing this. It is one thing to talk, it is other to do it. To most people out there, I say you can not do this. So please give her the credit she deserves. That is how we move forward, you can not learn something that you pretend to understand.

[@carminedenicola4289]

I just love watching her teach , clarifies the principle , esy to understand even from someone like myself who has never practiced aikido.lovely flow , thank you .

[@rushedandlost]

These are the kind of movements that have always fascinated me. So Beautiful !

[@erroltorres1505]

This is the best video on Aikido that I've seen to date. Okamoto Sensei explains why Aikido works and how it should be done so that it does work. What's more is the fact that she is female and shows that Aikido is indeed effective when done properly without using strength. My martial arts background is that I have over 20 years experience in various martial arts, 4 years of which were in Aikido, in which I attained the ranking of nikkyu.

[@AirAdventurer194]

Aikido is so beautiful

[@adamcrap]

This lady is so awesome! I could watch her for hours!

[@cozycocoones]

I love the way she teaches... That was beautiful ... I would love to study with her .

[@nikospaschalides5161]

Great,just great..this lady is so harmoniously effective...a super Aikido..

[@lebotonton]

Thus a great Teacher with amazing teachings

[@BushidoDevilDog]

Thanks for uploading this. I train at Aikikai Hombu, and the Shihan there rarely give much explanation of what they are doing, and never in English... Picked up a few more tools to add to the tool box from this video!

[@mohikanmohimohi]

何というか、流れるような動きがすごく綺麗

[@NormanLedoyen]

I really enjoyed watching this video. Well explained and excellently demonstrated.

[@andrewpeterson2521]

She makes it look so natural.

[@WritingInPurple]

What a beautiful demonstration! Thank you so much for sharing this video!

[@hadimirzazafrul]

One of my favorite aikido video so far. Very smooth.

[@sweeetly]

Very good Aikido, could watch her all day!

[@tukkek]

I absolutely did not notice 10 minutes went by. Truly a master!

[@HamidMouadane]

okamoto sensei a lot of respect for u r aikido

[@古強]

This is the best & skillful Aikido teacher!

[@fwoodbridge]

Tension, release. Such a point!

[@benharyo]

This sensei has very good skill on connecting with the Uke and apply kuzushi at an instant. Wonderful!

[@MrFarangKorat]

Beautiful demo. Lots of little, and BIG, "ideas" on display. Very nice video.

[@thelittledojo]

Excellent thank you for sharing.

[@Ya-pf3hh]

有個優秀武術大師傳授技藝，真的是件幸福美好的事！

[@doughylkema2920]

Seems to be very good at slowing the technique down at the key point so as to demonstrate proper movement. Great video!

[@seinundzeiten]

excellent instructional seminar, one of the best i've seen posted

[@wongcheukkwan]

Incredible skills!

[@martinalexander9111]

very very nice. i think i saw what u actually cant see. impressive aikidoka

[@talkfan]

She explains very well. I'm not generally a fan of aikido but I like her movement. Well done

[@LadySenseiNewYork]

Breathtaking combination of flawless technique.and femininity. Truly a genius. Sensei ni rei, Osu.

[@evanpenny348]

Aikido is not a matter of femininity. It is rather a matter of being sensitive to the energy of the attach - masculine of otherwise - and blending with it to be out of its path, and deflecting it. Lets get away from the politics - please.

[@sulufest]

This might sound like a silly observation, given Aikido's background, but her technique and variations seem so jujutsu-like in their execution. Refreshing to say the least- great stuff!

[@AaronLacyJr]

Okamoto sensei I like your technique. Arigato gozaimasu.

[@liecrusher3506]

I was actually IMPRESSED!

[@robertocalvo934]

She's awesome

[@MiAikidoDominicano]

Sencillamente hermoso, me encanto

[@terrmosgmail]

I rly like her approach. Very nice technique. You can tell when someone has a very good understanding when it looks unreal easy - then you know you have met a master. She makes it look so simple and easy. I am really impressed by her skills

[@SatnaD39]

I would like to learn Aikido with her. She's amazing!

[@MconfortavelMente]

Roberto Dantas me too 😻🙏🏼

[@MyREDTAIL]

Same here

[@marcelles1445]

Such a great aikidoka.

[@starlitephi]

Simply beautiful and insightful...

[@gerardvoughnfaust4167]

We all knew that this martial art can't be in the octagon. And some of us says that its not effective in real life, like street figh. But i still believe in this martial art and i believe it is effective coz not all are MMA fighter and martial arts expert. Robbers, drunk people people with gun and knife not all are expert. Aikido is special in disarming people with gun and knife something that a boxer cant do. And the art of aikido is not to kill but to subdue with care. Coz like what they say, aikido is a peaceful Martial art. So my respect to people who practice this kind of art. ☮️ ✌️🙏

[@cledo44]

Great Sensei!

[@wolflix]

she use her centrer very well, T.T from my opinion, in aikido footwork and centrer are 2 most important, footwork + centrer = harmorny in movement I suppose.

[@peterdavis8585]

Gorgeous and enlightening.

[@gusanagui]

Genial video!!! Claro, conciso y revelador para el no iniciado en Aikido.

[@udekiminage]

really very very good video thank you again for sharing

[@yudansha63]

Universal martial art.

[@mandy6163]

An excellent teacher, whose body speaks along with her excellent verbalization of the principles! She is amazing!

[@will35719711]

Try to see what you can't actually see(the essence of the technique)

[@Jufbritt1]

Nice its very cool

[@mickparly]

Have done Aikido for more than 30 years, and i have ever never seen any uke get so completly out of balance out of a little touch from tori. To make Aikido you shall of course give some energi to tori - but this - aaaaah! i think it is to much. But anyhow, then Okamoto Yoko Sensei is making some really good and interesting movements.

[@AikinomichiWien]

try and judge then

[@xtroyboy7338]

AMAZING SENSEI, AMAZING AIKIDO😉❤❤❤

[@iprolam]

[@serymanmcm]

me gusto mucho no conozco muchas sensei mujeres ..con mucho respeto.

[@somebloke13]

A great lady

[@bryanstark324]

Her technique is so perfect that I doubt most people could learn from her. You could never measure up to he standards.

[@norbertdesnos9973]

plus c'est beau plus c'est efficace et réciproquement !

[@bearpath100]

I think what I like about Yoko Sensei is that she doesn't really grab nor does she even allow the training partner to grab. She knows how to manage her distance and timing to gain control of their balance by staying at the edge of their movements, forcing them to over reach.

[@2brecords885]

WOMEN OF POWER

[@stefanoaikido]

complimenti un video e una lezione di aikido veramente interessante ,grande okamoto

[@2001kawauso]

武道とは自己鍛錬の道標です。人を倒す事が目的ではありません。 自分を見極めるための操縦方法です。 合気道は気の流れを読み後手必勝で受け流す後手必勝の活人拳なのです。 それを鍛錬することにより心も自由自在に成長して強く優しい人格が生まれるのです。

[@karimrifaat8604]

Superbe c'est que je voulais c'est vous l'inventeur

[@vincescaccia218]

Molto didattico. Complimenti!

[@tyguerry]

Очень хорошо!
