I consider myself very fortunate to be taught by a student of Sensei Yamada. Watching these videos I can see the common thread in his style of teaching. My Sensei, Nelson Andujar, displays the same fundamentally sound technique which makes learning so much easier. If you get the chance to train with Sensei Yamada, grab it. If you are in Houston, Sensei Andujar is your best opportunity.

Thank you so much for these videos. I am currently preparing for my 5th kyu exam and they are INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!!! I can watchthem over and over again looking for the details. It would be lovely if you could upload some videos about breathing teckniques, which seems to be a fundamental part of the correct aikido practice. Thanks again Sensei.

This is a wonderfully videoed lesson...great for verifying what I am learning in class, and for tuning up the techniques that I am having trouble mastering. Thank you very much!

wow que joven esta yamada sensei, me encanta su tecnica, es lo mas parecido a lo que nos enseñan en aikikai m.

[@kalanihooya]

Aloha Yamada sensei. I am a beginning student of Hiroo Takeuchi of the Friendly Aikido dojo in Hawaii. Thank you for the informative series you have shared w/ us.

[@zastonecesda]

My sensei has seen sensei Yamada in person perfoming those techniques. She says the guy is like liquid fire when he moves.

[@gfrancisjistus]

aikido techniques are based on contrived situations designed to develope timing,reflexes,speed,and clarity of thought.'Real situations' are much more unpredictable so one must realise this not real fighting or even sparring.When ones training is advanced,one will develope true effectiveness in defending ones self.Please understand it is almost impossible to learn Aikido without a good teacher ,not trying from a video. THANK YOU.

I dont understand why the Aikido Master cannot vs Mr Badr Hari k1 fighter ?

[@DesignJZ]

Wonderful principles, not ordnance

[@bigkittysmile]

yamada sensei is one of the best. he uses excessive force tho which isnt needed by an aikido master.
