O-Sensei in Hawaii 1961. Color footage.

This was shown at the Aikido 2011 Celebration. Footage includes the dedication of Aikido of Honolulu and demo at McKinley High School. Shiinichi Suzuki Sensei and Nonaka Sensei are part of the demo. Sadao Yoshioka is uke for Suzuki Sensei.

I spend hours each week watching ceremonial footage of historical Aikido footage. Thank you Jamie for this gem. I particularly like the Jo waza. You can see the origin of Saito's subari.

[@schenker74]

Hey thanks for checking it out! We are lucky in Hawaii to have people that trained with O Sensei and Koichi Tohei still teaching.

[@KMONTE07]

That is awesome and fortunate for your members. The closest we come is Kono Shihon who offers intimate workshops with our dojo in Toronto. He spent four years studying under O'Sesei and shares his teachings with us once per year.

[@del5924]

Very emotional.

[@sutemidojo]

Thanks a lot, dear Jamie YUGAWA! I was dreaming to watch this footage for last 16 years and I asked Stan PRANIN about it very often but nothing. My Aikido dojo at St.Petersburg (Russia) always open to you7 your students! Thank you again!

[@schenker74]

Hey no problem! Thanks!

[@KMONTE07]

+silenceismymaster you are correct, the point of aikido is not to fight!

[@kokyutengu]

You are worthless in these comments.

[@u4tubular]

Thank you for this. Was looking to see if I could recognize any of the old instructors. At 6:58 is my Sensei Dr. Mitsuo Adachi shaking hands with O Sensei.

[@Flying_turnip187]

I knew dr adachi. He was a really nice man and his waza was great stil I his 80’s. I actually “found “ his pictures he took of O Sensei’s visit to Hawaii island back in 1961. He took some amazing pictures of the seminars and local pictures. Very nice man.

🤣🤣🤣@ this aikido clown

[@WhiteSnake208]

Aikido doesn't work against anyone who knows how to grapple.

[@alexandrealves2877]

Aikido is 70% strike. You need to consider this fact when you make your rules for grappling tournaments. Grappling never worked against swords. Aikido is about swords.

[@Jiyukan]

Ant grappling does not work against anyone who has a sword and knows how to cut a grappler into two halfs. What was your point again ... you lost me somewhere at "does not work" ... or was it at "grapple" ... I'm so easy confused by idiots who have no clue about martial arts.

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

Nice opinion. Facts are, many early aikidokas started as judokas but turned to aikido after being defeated and became prominent aikidokas. Everything has its place, bro. stop comparing tennis and badminton.

[@alexscott730]

@@JustMe-vz3wd That's every aikido fanboy's favorite story but the fact is that's utter bullshit...There is zero video documentation showing Ueshiba putting down any Judokas,or any other martial artist for that matter un his 90 years of aikido practice...All fanboy stories....Wake up.

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

@@alexscott730 Sumo wrestler Tenryu Saburo became a student of Morihei Ueshiba. wikipedia "tenryu saburo". Tomiki was a judoka who became an aikidoka. Admiral Miura was a Daito Ryu Jujutsuka who became an aikidoka. All well known facts, bro. Interviews with the people themselves, like Tomiki, Tenryu, etc. For us true budokas its not a matter of "win and lose", its a matter of learning. Tenryu studied for 70 days with Morihei Ueshiba, and after that continued his sumo career. Even the founder of Judo came to the Aikido dojo and said aikido is a great budo. Vice versa also happens i guess. There is no anomosity between true budokas and martial artists, bro. Only HATERS AND TROLLS like yourself try to stir up trouble.

[@kimbabgig6484]

it looks like a fake and comic show.

[@misterprogressive8730]

Your existence in this world is a fake and comic show

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

The millions of people worldwide who practise aikido dontt think its "fake", bro, only a handful of haters and trolls , knowitalls like yourself never done it keep spouting this nonsense.
