SAITO Sensei - Corrections on Ikkyo / Rennes-France

[@brianmurray6141]

Thank you for sharing! I was at this seminar but have never seen any photos or films from it. Special memories.

[@AikidoblogNet]

There are a quite few from this seminar, and the VHS quality is quite bad, but fist of all, time is required to upload other video. I'll upload other sooner or later, thank you for your patience Brian.

THis is not Ueshiba Morihei s ikkyo. It is strange to see that people don t see the difference. Maybe it is pedagocic form, but absolutely, not Ueshiba s way.

You r absolutely right. There is a youtube compilation of Morihei doing Ikkyo, you can see clearly Morihei his Ikkyo goes straight to the ground, there is no stop at the knee. Besides that, i think its always hilarious to see "masterclasses" of topnotch Aikido masters explaing how to avoid the most basic mistakes in basic techniques. It is like amateur writers going to a Masterclass of a famous writer, and this Nobel Prize winning author fills his class with "the plural of foot is not foots but feet!" kinda tips. Saito's whole "don't push because partner will go away or turn around" its really 6th or 5th kyu material.

@@JustMe-vz3wd body says It, but there Is another school out of iwama, which shows at least some of what Morihei taught as ikkyo ikkajo. And i think i write my post even before i Met the people Who does this.

Ikkyo must be useful without any "but" in base variant. Don't belive that technique will be more difficult and will become more useful. It is not truth. Sensei must have a map-list "How does it work" in base or advanced variant anyway. I think I have found something and schema works but I need more "laboratory experements" with method "to teach how". We all can make ikkyo form but If you have doubt of usefulity of your ikkyo I want to see it and try to correct according to my schema and you will give me your impressions about it. P/S The form of ikkyo had no changed but I have several invisible detailes.

Ikkyo is just an arm manipulation.There's nothing complicated about it.
