[@carloko08]

wow, this document is from 1973, how great to see these old films in the golden age of martial arts

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

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

[@carlavalverde2604]

I love this!

המורה הגדול בוודאי גאה בתלמידו Morihiro Saito

Сайто как всегда великолепен, У его партнеров слабое Укеми, Может я не вижу, если на голый жёсткий пол приземлить…

[@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......

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.

[@wadsworth2351]

@@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.

[@410cultivar]

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.

[@wadsworth2351]

@@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.

Iwama aikido the only style of aikido that works

Tenshin? Ikazuchi?

Shouting is the key, it would never work so well otherwise ;o)

[@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.

[@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO]

What real life situation?

[@carlavalverde2604]

@@ninjamaster7724 real life situation is to stay out of it

[@ninjamaster7724]

@@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO an actual physical fight where someone is aggressively trying to do physical harm to you.

[@TAKEMUSUAIKIDO]

​@ninjamaster7724 aikido would not defend you in this situation. You would defend yourself. Same for any system/theory/weapon.

[@АлександрНекст-э9й]

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.
