Takeno Shihan - Yoshinkan Aikido - Instruction (English Translation)

[@seijihoshi2000]

He is very heart warm gentleman. About 30 years ago, we were invited to Takeno-Sensei's dojo to practice aikido. I recall that the tatami mats in his dojo were exceptionally firm. As we boarded the train to return to Tokyo after the last day practice, Takeno-Sensei and his students came to the train station to seeing us off to farewell at the station.

Excelente video, uno de los mejores ejecutantes de la Yoshinkan, QEPD Takeno Shihan.

[@Currawong]

This video is much appreciated. Even though I've only done a bit of Yoshinkan style, and mostly Aikikai, the concepts explained here are very useful.

[@southsidedojoYoshinkan]

Thank you

amazing yoshinkan techniques

Osu! Great vídeo and working.

I saw this guy give his uke a concussion (an ambulance was called and she was taken away) in 2 demonstrations. At the social afterward the demo, he was laughing about it. He was a big reason I left Yoshinkan aikido.

[@optimusmaximus9646]

That is appalling. A duty of care should be a standard policy of any martial arts school. I too have found a lot of aikido practitioners arrogant, far more so than in any other martial art I have done, which includes judo, taekwondo, wing chun, kendo, and aikido. I do not know the reason for this. It wasn’t just the school I attended as I have tried three different schools and invariably I left each one feeling bereft of any sense of respect, inclusiveness. Maybe it just wasn't for me. In any case, I have since then returned to judo where I do feel I belong and feel accepted and respected by everyone. To be brutally honest, if an aikidoka deliberately tried the same crap on men, they would be the one going off in an ambulance 😉.

[@HeathGallagher]

yes I saw a video where shioda knocked one of his ukes out,and laughed about it too.yoshinkan is just roughhousing and some of the techniques look muscled, I left for the same reason as you did.

[@HeathGallagher]

@@optimusmaximus9646 I have found that too,my first encounter with aikido was less than friendly...I was trying sokumen irimi nage and one of the sempai just stood there and in an arrogant tone said..."does that look anything like what we are doing?" and that was my only lesson at that dojo,which incidentally was an iwama dojo in Sydney Australia. I have found studying far more brutal and dangerous martial arts the sensei and students are far less egotistical than aikido...but the aikidojo I know train at,there is no ego at all.

[@optimusmaximus9646]

​@@HeathGallagher I encourage you to call them out on this kind of behaviour. It should not and must not be tolerated. With a culture like this, is it any wonder aikido is haemorrhaging students. They are only doing them a disservice. My first martial art was tae kwon do and the training was tough (if not brutal) BUT the instructors were always respectful and courteous and would never talk down to you or berate you if you did something wrong. Don't give up aikido because of a bad experience like this - there are dozens of other aikido clubs in Sydney. You just need to "shop around" until you find the right one for you. I do judo now because of my age but I still like aikido and intend to return at some stage as its principles are sound and can offer experienced martial artists very useful skills. Good luck on your martal arts journey.

[@optimusmaximus9646]

​@@HeathGallagher Perhaps Shioda was trying to dispel the myth that aikido is a gentle, soft art and not very effective as a martial art and they though they needed to muscle it up a bit, as you describe. Tenshin is another hard or external style of aikido but some mistake the term "hard" for "aggressive" (Steven Seagal type mentality). The other day I was doing randori at my judo club and I was thrown by a blue belt. Nothing new about that but the thing is, even though I was resisting his attempts, he did with such grace and control that it was indeed a real pleasure for me because it demonstrated beautifully that you don't have to use brute strength and aggression to take someone down. This is one of maxims of both judo and aikido - it's all in the technique - but I find judoka in general to be better behaved and respectful than aikidoka, which is quite ironical considering aikido is supposed to have gentleness at its core while judo is very tough and tumble.

[@t.k1221]

When Mike Tyson came to see Yoshinkan Dojo, Takeno Sensei asked Mike Tyson if he would like to try it out. Mike Tyson is a professional, so of course he refused. What I mean is that Mr. Takeno had the confidence and determination to take on any challenge.

[@KingOfSwords720]

Great instruction vid! But, your translations need some help. "Of course you shold being alcohol with you?" This is where knowing the language is indispensable.

[@kenossowicz1280]

Thanks but as it says in the video description, the translation isn’t mine. It’s done through an AI and is clearly imperfect. Would the ability to speak Japanese have been helpful here? Sure. But unfortunately, it’s not a skill I’ve picked up in my years on this earth. So AI will have to do.

[@dbuck1964]

“I am a natural mosquito” was my favorite. 😂🦟

[@Currawong]

@@kenossowicz1280 KZbin will auto-translate videos. You just have to fix the glaring mistakes, then it's usually decent.

[@KingOfSwords720]

​@@kenossowicz1280the Japanese do love their sake. Yoshinkan is the aikido school that is the closest to aikijujutsu. My instructor was a 5th dan and former policeman.

[@reyromero1115]

Bueno, parece que es difícil encontrar alguien que comprenda como funciona el Aikido, desgraciadamente son más populares los farsantes, yo mismo eh probado que para aplicar las técnicas de debe recurrir a lo que el Maestro Shioda llama Chushin Ryuku y Suchu Ryoku, ademas de usar potencia explosiva, algo que muchos no mencionan y es lo que hace al aikido Efectivo junto a los Atemi

[@JustSomeGuy69420]

How did you use AI to translate this? I have many videos that are in Japanese and I'd like to get a better feel for what is being instructed. Thank you and thanks for uploading this!

[@kenossowicz1280]

There are several AI translation services out there. For this, I used Sonix.ai. I used a free trial and used up all my free minutes on this video. I tried another service with a DVD I have from Inoue Sensei, but the translation was even worse and they are all kind of pricey. Which is why you haven't seen any more of these from me! 😄

[@Currawong]

There's an app on MacOS called Aiko that does a good job as well.

[@iggyspirit]

I don't know why this poor young lady has to suffer these horrific throws😢

[@t.k1221]

She is an exceptional woman who can withstand the master's powerful technique. Other practitioners might risk injury if the master employs his full strength on them.

[@iggyspirit]

@@t.k1221 yes she is , but a technique does not have to be applied so hard in order to be proven effective. Also in a real situation things always change anyways, so i doubt there is gonna be someone grabbing your wrists etc.

[@t.k1221]

Mr. Gozo Shioda, Mr. Takeno's instructor, advises that in real combat situations, one should avoid holding hands. This means that a practice method could involve having your opponent hold your wrist.

[@t.k1221]

Also, as you say, the reason Takeno Sensei's techniques are so powerful is because he doesn't use superficial powers. Sensei Takeno also taught many Japanese police officers, but they did not want to receive Sensei Takeno's technique because it was too intense.

[@t.k1221]

On the other hand, I am against posting videos of her receiving techniques on KZbin. For those who don't know about her flexibility and outstanding abilities, the video looks like nothing more than bullying of the weak.

This stuff is fun to watch but doesnt have an real life application. It wont work in a real fight.

[@reyromero1115]

Si funciona, pero no de esta manera, yo eh comprobado con personas que les pido se resistan a lo que hago, el problema es la forma de hacerlo y en qué situación se puede, además de que debes arriesgarte (Como cualquier técnica) a recibir tu también un golpe, patada y hasta derribo

[@mortgagefinancing5558]

@@reyromero1115 estás en un mundo de fantasía

[@reyromero1115]

@@mortgagefinancing5558 no, tu estás en la fantasía de ni siquiera comprobar algo de todas las maneras antes de criticarlas, pero es típico de las personas de tu especie, empecé practicando Kyokushin y Kung Fu Shaolin que me enseñó mi padre quien fuera guardaespaldas en su juventud (en los años 70's) Luego fui a un Gym de Boxeo y probé algo de Judo, al final pude comprobar que las técnicas de Aikido funcionan, pero no como las enseñan, hay que tensar los músculos como al golpear o empujar, pero por alguna razón nadie habla de eso y por eso la mayoría se confunde, es muy fácil usar Aikido cuando haz practicado otras cosas antes.
