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.

Thank you

ものすごく貴重な映像ですね…。ひと昔前なら、「秘蔵…」というタイトルで8000円ぐらいでビデオ化される感じですよね。

Nice video ❤❤

amazing yoshinkan techniques

[@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.

Thank you for your service to the universe PHILOSOPHY THE KI TO WAR PaulTeich©️03/15/2024 My hands My hands have pounded rice My hands of hounded beans My hands have pale pebbles My hands have pounded rock My hands have been jabbed through buckets of all of these things My hands have broken boards My hands are broken five boards My feet have broken boards I broke five boards with my feet My hands have pounded railroad ties My hands have pounded telephone polls My feet have pounded telephone polls My hands have pounded trees My feet have pounded trees My arms, my legs, my body have been pounded by sticks Boken Hanbo Roku shaku bow And the iron arm I have been beaten broken I have beaten and broken I remember the snap of my tibia and fibula I have felt the sting of nunchuku As I have felt the soft throw sending me aloft 6 feet in the air and across the mat of Aikido I have felt the hip throw of Hapkido I have felt the highflying kick of tae kwon do I have been brutalized and amazed by Koga Ru ninjutsu I remember elements of Okinawan Kenpo Chinese Kenpo And American Kenpo And there was praying, mantis kung fu And jukafushido There’s more But I’m old now And I have only my grandchildren to teach my kung fu And the knowledge that we train and harden ourselves, so that we can be soft and know when not to fight Two hands must join together as their energies must join in common cause to form a throw and go in the same direction The one who knows that can redirect the other, and cause peace or submission, and end all fighting The one who knows that Can redirect the evil ones ki Like, stepping into the path of the sword Can place you in heaven #peaceandlove #martialartsjourney #ceasefirenow

Osu!

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.

[@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.

[@dbuck1964]

Something tells me he never heard of the metoo movement. 😂

[@dbuck1964]

This is worth watching just for the hilariously misinterpreted captions.

[@kenossowicz1280]

Yea, sorry. I wish I spoke Japanese and I wish the AI that did it was better, but it’s what we got. 🤷‍♂️

[@denx2pogi]

@@kenossowicz1280 It's all good, bro. Thank you for sharing!
