The 'Old Forms Of Aikido'

Clyde Sutton sensei demonstrates how some of the "Old Forms" of Aikido can be adapted for use on larger opponents and how these traditional kata still teach us sound biomechanical principles.

Clyde always pulls this old school stuff out of the bag and it's astonishing how he remembers it all to be frank. this was a great seminar and this a very cool session

thank you once again to Clyde sensei for a cool session

[@regmullett4899]

very nice stuff Clyde and like the deflection angle focus, important especially for lighter framed people

[@rickdangerfield1183]

a voice of experience, measured and looking to science for a better understanding of what we do. This methodology cant be faulted

[@hattorihanzo3688]

The proof that even old kata have relevance if you search for the lessons within.

[@tonis563]

I'm sorry i don't see anything particular different or old school in this guy's performance

[@nikosskeptikos6295]

Don't be sorry! maybe you just have been exposed to more traditional Aikido? The 90 degree blocking thing is def more of a 1970's era vibe for sure

[@Eternaprimavera73]

​@@nikosskeptikos6295maybe in Saito Aikido or Yamaguchi aikido didnt you already see this aspect?

[@CarlaCasteneda]

@@Eternaprimavera73 I trained with Saito sensei a few times at iwama and indeed he often talked about the angle of the block, controlling the head etc, but this has lost favour it seems in the "modern flow Aikido"

[@Eternaprimavera73]

@@CarlaCasteneda I am very skeptic on what the teachers try to sell. But it is even more fun when people rediscover something which has been always there, and then they say they modernize things with that... By the way, just to be clear, I don't believe that Saito really knew everything of Ueshiba s aikido. I also trained with Saito s son. and I saw the videos with Morihiro sensei. He can tell whatever, but his movements many times are visibly different from Ueshiba.

[@CarlaCasteneda]

@@Eternaprimavera73 I trained and live with Saito, not his son, but you are correct Saito move differently to o sensei in many ways. Everyone moves differently. By the time o sensei was in his later life he was most probably suffering from mental illness because his behavior was increasingly erratic, and his ukes were just falling over for him out of respect. Saito, Tohei, and shioda were more responsible for the development of aikido than o sense was in his later years I feel.

[@AikiCircus]

Actually, when we look at "classical" Aikikai masters like Tissier or Gouttard, they also immediately load one of the uke's legs at the moment of the contact.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

yes! Taking kuzushi is a core principle of all grappling

[@edihansreizner7751]

Zanshin refers to a physical and mental state of increased vigilance, mindfulness, attention and concentration not only, but especially in combat situations, even after a successful attack. Here an attempt is made to present the old form by having the tori stand there in the landscape as ordered and not picked up. An old form without Zanshin is unthinkable! Not a successful presentation!👎🏻⛩️

[@nikosskeptikos6295]

hmm, kinda agree, but looking at this the focus seemed to be on the angles of the block loading the front foot and redirection, and he spent a lot of time breaking that down. If the uke had been "active" it would have been very difficult for the instructor to get his point across, no?

[@Eternaprimavera73]

When you have to do more than two movements to load one of the opponent s legs, he will be already doing something else. ​@@nikosskeptikos6295

[@jimmyjudo3559]

Very cool

[@nikosskeptikos6295]

Agree, isnt it nice to see some of the details from way back highlighted, nice to see different perspectives.
