SAITO SENSEI: The Riai of Takemusu Iwama Aikido - TAKEMUSU AIKIDO ONLINE DOJO

“When O-Sensei explained Aikido he always said that taijutsu (body techniques) and ken and jo techniques were all the same. He always started out his explanation of Aikido using the ken.”- Saito Sensei"
The relationship of the RIAI (the connection between Tai-Jutsu and Buki Waza) was taught only in Iwama. O-Sensei trained very hard in Iwama. The development began in 1945 and ended between 1960-65. Aikido was established during this period in Iwama. I was just like to say a few words about this and on the lies about Aikido O-Senseis. For example, there are people who claim that there are no weapons in Aikido. That makes me angry. I want the truth to come to light and the background of Aikido to come to light. Please put this interview on the Internet. I am particularly angry that people often overlook the fact that O-Sensei was a man of Iwama and that Aikido was developed during his time in Iwama."
Extracted from an interview with Saito Sensei (conducted by Mats Alexanderson) on the day of his 50th aikido anniversary.

Полная хрень. Типасенсей протягивает руку до нападения, а нападающий просто вкладывает в нее свою. Это похоже на индийское кино.

[@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO]

Thanks for your honest opinion.

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

What a great historical footage and still so relevant and inspiration today. Thanks for posting this!

[@ericparret6234]

Merci, très belle vidéo qu'à l'époque nous visionnons en "super 8", cependant les attitudes et positions étaient très naturelles, à contrario de nos jours, où l'influence d'Hito Hiro a beaucoup "figé" la pratique, jambe arrière fléchie, et tous les arguments pour le justifier, quel beau manque de liberté, etc......

[@ninjamaster7724]

I did Iwama Ryu Aikido in '93 & '02 or '03 and Saito sensei was my senei's sensei. All aikido is though is demonstration practice of martial theory. Not very efcective in a real life situation.

What if the "opponent" didn't throw himself in the air?

[@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO]

'What if' questions are endless, and the answers will never satisfy. Find an Aikido dojo, give it a try.

@@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO Done that already. I had to see it with my eyes to realise fully what kind of nincompoops they are. What i've seen was a heard of sheep worshipping the image of a decrepit old man and the "master" who had obsequiously carried on his "legacy", and all those who came after him. What i haven't found instead is humility, only brazen arrogance. Never again.

@@wadsworth2351 great, I hope you found a practice you are happy with.

They would actually get hurt. Lol. It looks fake but its just because you are taught how to roll, fall, etc, to avoid major injury. Thats all.

@@410cultivar I've practiced this very style of Aikido for some 4 years so... i know the drill. That's why i know it's all a hoax.
