Quote:
"We must keep the spirit of budo no matter how we practice."
Q: You were one of the earlier uchideshi at the Aikikai. What year did you start?
A: When I joined as an uchideshi only Tamura Sensei and Arikawa Sensei were there. Yasuo Kobayashi was still in college. He came to the dojo every day. I entered when I was 17. I am 53 now, so it must have been 1955.

RIP Donanvan Waite Sensei. You have inspired generations
Great respects to Yamada Sensei! I enjoy his techniques and his attitude to Aikido.
😀
@AikikaiAikido, I have trained in Aikido 12months also jujitsu for 25years and judo for 3years and Muay Thai for 3years. It is the first time iv seen this footage and this is an excellent representation of aikido, it incorporates circles, spirals, triangles and wave motion. I would like to see more of these videos if possible as I am very impressed with the quality.
Excellent technique from Yamada sensei and excellent uke from Donovan Waitie sensei
It was a pleasure to watch!
That was very slow and beautiful movements. Thank you.
Yamada Sensei has excellent techniques. I enjoy watching him.
Yamada Sensei...marvellous...sublime.
Thank you Mr.Donovan for your excellent uke.
This is an Excellent demonstration.
Exelente demostracion del poder que posee el aikido.
nice to see the working with each other - opened my mind about understanding aikido
The demonstration is simply for those who know Aikido... Those who do not, are completely taken by surprise.... I would say deluded..... The Sensei is using complicated hand, wrist, elbow and, centre of gravity techniques, to achieve the desired result of throwing his uke...... Such techniques, just as the waist and leg movements by Steven Segal in his movie fight scenes, are imperceptible to the untrained eye...... Of course, uke is thoroughly aware of the technique and is well prepared for it, which unfortunately is not the case on the street or, in war..... Nevertheless, I would recommend Aikido to all...... Life is a circle and, Aikido is understanding the circularity of motion, all motion, including, definitely including that of an attacker..... When Aikido techniques become part of a fighter's natural repertoire of defensive moves, he or she are there, with the Special Forces...
Excellent demonstration. Domo arigato.
"We must keep the spirit of budo no matter how we practice."
beautiful dance and choreography. Looks good on stage.
Thank you aikido teacher Mr. Yoshimitsu yamada.
Fantastic!
Exclellent Aikido representation. Very good quality.
Thank you very much. I have learned a lot today
Excellent video! Thank you very much for sharing. The techniques are so smooth. The uke is doing an excellent job, too. If you do not know how to fall, you will hurt yourself badly.
very nice.. i've always liked yamada sensei's power and fluidity!
Yamada sensey is such great master, there is no push and pulling overacting or efforting to much only the perfect using of breathing power and the sensation of neverending apprenticeship, great video thanks a lot.
Beautiful
Brilliant!
increibles tecnicas. Tan fluidas que parecen facil de hacer.
Me encanta el AIKIDO.
Really beautiful really enjoyed.
nice techniques...i really like it....thanks
Most effective and I like it.
yes you are right.. when somebody wants to knock you down...knock him first. and it is better to give than to receive this is the motto of most practitioners of martial arts
The choreography is magnificent great for close encounter take-down
Great video really beautiful!!!
very beautiful ! Inspiring !
From a very young aikido student.
Great Aikido vid,
Yet, that's all we have. An expectation.
I just want to see Aikido in action. I want to see it versus a striking or grappling style. I think EVERYBODY does.
That's all I wanted and you started spreading it nice and thick about my art and here we are. Amazing how you are not self-aware at all.
Loved it! :)
There are many videos about many techniques, all of them pretty good. But if someone wants to look a some excellent ukemi, then sticking to Donovan´s videos are the wisest choice.
Another beautiful video ....
These techniques show how much self-control can allow movement at the same time very strong and very fluid and aesthetic, and always in the priority not to hurt the opponent ...
But I did not even this level!
Thank you very much friend!
Thanks a lot....!
excelentes tecnicas dan un panorama mas amplio de la tecnica marcial del aikido su disciplina, genial , felicidades
The use of attackers forces against him. Plus development of harmony within ones self.
great.. awesome
This is very interesting I like it
Excelente
wow very nice technique
I've trained somewhat in Aikido (still just starting out). I can tell you from practicing with other students, you really do need to know how to roll. Because if you fight against a technique, and do it wrong, it really hurts.Now is Aikido perfect? No. Does it hurt? Does it work? Depending on the practitioner, yes it does. There are certainly ways around some techniques, but many still work. Try it, then criticize. Good luck learning.
great
nice techniques
Than you
RIP Yamada and Waite Sensei. Warriors of peace ☯️🥋🙌💪
yes....go on.....
the "skirts" are used only at the highest levels (black belt, sensei, etc), and they are for helping the teacher keep his one point, balance, and they have a tab in the back to make you keep your lower back straight.
Spettacolo !!!
Thanks, Unfortunately no one wins in an email discussion. I love aikido, but people train for very different reasons. Some are "New Age" junkies and that's fine. I've been lucky enough to have teachers who focus on the self defence of aikido as well trying to reconsile the "idea" of aikido as an art that brings people together. Everyone should practice their respective arts with respect for others. Yamada Sensei is a great ambassador of the martial arts.
LOL.... I have a long ways to go. Thank you for uploading.
I took this for about a year and the reason why it looks like that is because if you don't go with the flow you will have a joint break or injury. By allowing yourself to be thrown you prevent from getting injured
now i know what yoshimitsu really looks like!
Good
And this is the value of weapons work: It shows you multiple strategies for putting your opponent behind you in the loop before the fight even starts. If you want to fight with swords you have to get past your opponents sword and get control of the line of attack before you can even think of striking. Which means you have to learn to close off avenues of attack and open up others so that your opponent is forced into doing something reasonably predictable allowing you to kill him.
Great. Add them to your favorites so I can see one. And then I'll find a one on one fight in the UK.
for me, in all martial arts , i idolizes the aikido as its work is smooth and gentle, yet deadly.second is tai chi
Both Shihans have made their transitions. Their legacy remains.
@KungFuKid1015
excellent explantion.
Es hermoso este arte marcial, espero no tener que usarlo nunca, y para aquellas personas que están pensando usarlo para pelear, no es el propósito
I was skeptical when I started. I practiced "resistive defense." For my doubt, I ate mat a lot. When you resist in a fight, you become tight and start telegraphing your weaknesses, making it that much easier for your opponent to reacquaint you with the floor. This is how O Sensei got so many students: They were trying to figure out how the little guy put them on the ground. People that have been practicing a while know that they resist at their own peril. It's better to roll with the punches.
Sure it works... even more than those whom does hard techniques... Aikido gives inner peace an templance... it helps better that any other martial art because you learn how to be calm with a clear mind in aggressive situations plus use the body mass straigth... what you see in this video is "Practice" aikido uses jiujutsu forms for training, but it has no form... we can punch, kick, pull hair, pin eyes, pin articulations etc. ones you know aikido there´s no need to figth.
@Goergebenson That's because you think the moves are application techniques whereas they're actually body conditioning techniques to train the body to work as one collective whole.
Muy buen video, me ha gustado mucho!! Saludos desde Aikido Musubi Badalona
Greatings from Aikido Musubi Badalona ( Spain)
Like Donovan Sensei!!
The technique at 2:02 is just plain awesome!!!
The Aikidoka's reaction speed is therefore faster. By the time the attacker is positioned to kick or delivering the kick the Aikidoka could already be back on his feet and because he's ahead in the loop he has the advantage and can seize the initiative futher disrupting the OODA loops of the attackers who are now forced to react to the Aikidoka.
This is what randori teaches, the disruption of the OODA loops of multiple ukes to the point they cannot effectively attack allowing escape.
Keiko!! means Train! (Training). It means you should never forget to keep training, sometimes it's useful for all of us to just practice hard.
hellow im lorning aiikido i love it
I belonged to San Juan Aikika Aikido, my Senior Instructor Javier Vazquez Bravo Sensei and fellow practicioners follow the teaching of Yamada Sensei.
i.
I'm waiting for amazon to deliver the book, if you're right I'll admit it.
Man that first shihoNage was amazing.
genious :)
i still cant believe the beauty of aikido.
If used correctly, its just as painful as jujitsu and muay tai.
but at the same time puts on an awesome visual display like tae kwon do.
The technic is classic
In Aikido we have this party trick, we get say six guys and they surround the Aikidoka and try and drag him down and then the Aikidoka collapses the pile.
You have to experience an Aikidoka's base to believe it. I was shocked by how good my base is when I started judo.
Added loads of fights, have fun
Ukemi is the art of recieving technique part of which is what to do when you are falling. You forget that the attacker would be kicking at a target that had probably thrown himself clear and was actively moving away from him. I'm not talking about rolling on the spot here, I'm talking about systems of escape and evasion.
You should play british bulldog, teaches you to stay on your feet when six guys are dragging you down. Awesome game.
You said if the Aikidoka tripped over or stumbled, that was the premise under discussion.
Which brings us full circle and back to my original point. BJJ doesn't seriously consider multiple attack senarios and therefore it is a tournament fighting art.
At least in the UK it is because 1 v 1 is rare here.
Like I said, I am new to this.
i just met a 4Th dan on this, explainme with fewer an painful ways what aikido is. :p
simple amazing, i came to youtube to see more of tihs. thanks for share.
As with any brawl one guy thru a punch and the brawl spread because of malicious intent on some parts and fear of being attacked by others who threw the first punch at someone else instead. I first learned Aikido in 93 and have since never earned 1 belt...I concentrated on the principles of aikido such as blending with an attack and throwing....but I have learned so much more from Aikido than physical technique...I have been in many situations that were deadly, but never had to use technique!
We train 3-on-1 or even 7-on-1, it doesn't matter. Breathe and move, that's all it takes.
If I breathe - that's Aikido.
O'Sensei
@salsalover69laters ...so he sent his students accross the world to launch Aikido schools to teach how to 'harmonize' with an attackers energy and then direct them in a caring and safe manner. This becomes a basic principle in life via training on the mat. He was tough as nails, but obviously a very spiritual man. The funny thing is aikido is based on defending against multiple attackers using samurai sword and technique, so it is extremely effective and if warranted can be very lethal...
I don't dare comment, Sensei Yamada, I can't second guess his "stuff", you know? I can say that with all of life's tremors, Aikido is the only peace I have found. It is profoundly sensible, I wholeheartedly would promote it, even after 25 years in the striking arts. It does not compare, it's a whole 'nother box of stuff. It's real. Before WWII, Sensei did it to you, after WWII, you had to come to him first! It was now "peaceful".. It's all based on 3' razor blades! One move had to work.
Got the book! As I suspected it's just old school Judo. Amusingly a lot of it is found in Aikido too although we add tai sabaki to produce kuzushi and use atemi etc.
i so wanna try this Y_Y
Yes, I think aikido would be effective against modern MMA techniques. A simple example: MMA fighters often shoot in for a leg sweep. A defense is to lower center of gravity and oppose the force of the attacker so he cannot take your legs or disturb your center. From there you apply rotational force to takedown your opponent. Instead of receiving the force and opposing it an aikidoist would simply step in, take an arm, and rotate his center to apply ikkyo and submit his opponent.
I've seen that video.
Mobility is the key to everything in Aikido including multiple attack. Judo for instance you do while stationary, I think the same holds true for BJJ stand up. At the moment of throwing you're stationary. Aikido though is, apart from koshi nage, done while in motion.
If you're moving then they have to move too and it's hard to move and fight a moving target at the same time and you're shielded by the guy you're throwing.
@MrDavidX96 Yes,sometimes there is some force and people start to learn how to use Aikido effectively, but there is a very thin balance between harmony and brawling, please don't confuse the two. As per fights between aikidoka vs others : like a grand master called Fujita Masatake shihan once said : "we all train so maybe one day when we will need to apply our knowledge we would have a better chance to convince the others that they were wrong to attack. And don't forget Keiko! Keiko! Keiko!"
I've seen pissed Aikidoka stumble over things and be on their feet again before anyones really realised that they've fallen over. After five years ukemi becomes automatic, you even cease to try to save yourself from falling you just go with it and use your body's momentum to take ukemi.
We have adult, beginner and advanced classes. Blue belts train with whites and purples help out too. Great community.
You don't have to tell me that all the ranks train together. I did it. I remember watching first kyu at work and I remember them telling me that applying Aikido in a real fight was damn hard. I remember watching the advanced students train and I still maintain that it was unrealistic. 6th kyu or any you still see the training and the results.
More than you can say for BJJ
@Hikarilover123 Thanks man , im hoping to combine another style any suggestion ??
Anyone have any advice on a good instructional Aiken dvd?
OODA loops have to do with any decision made by a human being. The Aikidoka is aware that he is falling before the opponent is so he is ahead in the OODA loop. Plus the Aikidoka only has one course of action so his OODA loop is faster. The attacker has many different options to choose from and many other variables to consider all of which which slows down his response.
Then there's the time needed to close the distance to strike and the fact that he is stationary kicking at a moving target.
Having been an Aikido student for more than six years, and having received, and delivered these technigues, I can say with much clarity that these techniques are effective, and based on physics. Big, strong, out-of-control bozos are hard to deal with, in any art. But if I had one art to pin my hopes on, this would be it. Is there a magic art? No, but sensei Yamada gives a wonderful demonstration here of standard Aikido technique. Sword culture. Life or death. Make the first move count.
