Literally the only westerner i've seen who is 100% aikido. A true aikido master, did learn from Morihei himself, mostly without verbal explanation just by observing and practising and practising and ... more practising.
This is interesting because this master's body is not as conducive to leverage techniques as a taller man with longer limbs yet his style generates just as much force using slightly different techniques. Compare this with Seagal's demos.
The uke,s are jumping around if they did not there would not be Aikido. This is not fighting nor does it work in real fights its just a beautiful dance
There is also static aikido training, just see clips of Saito. And you are right, even Morihei Ueshiba said that Aikido is a beautiful dance of the Gods. You obviously have a talented eye for Aikido so we all welcome you to our dojo's.
WOW. A good feeling that Andre give us.
He is a mentor of much great Teachers in Aikido. And now i understand "WHY".
Thank you

thats not the purpose of aikido. Just train en show some good movement and harmony. People will come automatically, you like it or you dont like it
