This is Fujiwara Teruo hosting a home town demo (local club). At the end you will see Shishida sensei. Yoshiomi Inoue was also watching the demo. <br /><br />https://vimeo.com/457266513 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348644146420935275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315333410007118561.post-32605304416318668552020-11-03T16:16:35.832-08:002020-11-03T16:16:35.832-08:00here is another reference to add to the mix

Rather, it was always explained that she took Tomiki's walk and modified it to develop a version of it to emphasize lessons she and Karl wanted their students to learn and pass down. There was always recognition that what we were learning was based on what Tomiki had originally created.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720063058577754928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315333410007118561.post-74638173464976709412013-05-26T17:25:30.865-07:002013-05-26T17:25:30.865-07:00I did not see anything that struck me as particula...I did not see anything that struck me as particularly critical of anybody's approach, and I thought this presentation of what different branches of the art are doing, and how they differ from early versions of these movements is interesting, at least from a historical perspective. Anybody who has worked with a gifted sensei over an extended period of time knows that what is taught changes over time. Even eminent senseis find that their understanding evolves over time. There are many things that can be learned from these movements, and it is understandable that different groups have chose no emphasize different aspects.trrllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531295155777816765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315333410007118561.post-59781295763985639272011-12-23T13:57:41.359-08:002011-12-23T13:57:41.359-08:00To my anonymous friend who posted a scorching comm...To my anonymous friend who posted a scorching comment on Feb 18 2011, my apologies.

I did not really criticize anyone here. I merely pointed out differences. I have indeed worked out or been in email/telephone contact with all but one of the people that demonstrated in these films (excluding the deceased senseis) I apologize that you take offense.

I like the comparisons across the different approaches.<br /><br />A couple things though - <br />1) Even though the London Aikido Dojo clip looks good, from what I have seen being executed from the Nariyama line, this video should be considered - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFgwdsEEvKM . Sorry, I could not find any being done by Japanese, but the linear approach of this version, combined with the clear use of tegatana is interesting if we are talking about evolution.<br /><br />2) From my recent communications and training with Shishida and Sato Shihans of the JAA, there is a new evolution (not shown in any of the above videos) that appears on Sato's DVD here - http://www.budovideos.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=26349<br /><br />The reason why I bring these up is because near the beginning of your blog you quote the following: “When the basic movements of “Aiki no waza” are brought together through formal exercises, practice becomes easy”. The latest evolution found on Sato's DVD goes into a deeper analysis of what is Aiki and how these "basic exercises" actually build the foundation for using "Aiki" in "Aiki no Waza".<br /><br />Great research.Larry Camejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029906121408669032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315333410007118561.post-83983836919177564112011-03-04T09:22:23.582-08:002011-03-04T09:22:23.582-08:00Nick's is the closest to what I learned at Kar...Nick's is the closest to what I learned at Karl's school.

True fellows don't do that... Who would keep training with such a snake?...<br /><br />A question on your research method: Did you at least attempt to contact those practitioners for comment, as you ingratiated yourself among your "teachers?" Maybe they were working on something more subtle than the untrained eye could perceive. <br /><br />Regardless, now that you've publicly spoken down to them, why should they listen to you or invite you into their dojo? How can you walk in peace with yourself (much less anyone else, much less a master) with such an obese ego?<br /><br />Remember brother(s and sisters), the best student is the best teacher, and the best student is most humble.<br /><br />KEG said supremely: <br />In reality you, as teachers, are the servants of the student. Work hard for them, teach them and require from them the disciplines that will help them to grow into confident excellence. However, never lapse (for long) into the illusion that your knowledge makes you special. If you didn't have the students to teach, your knowledge would be a useless thing in your brain, stagnating and looking for an outlet.<br /><br />All of you know how it feels on a bad and stormy night. Everyone is late and you begin to wonder if you are going to have a class to teach and then the relief you feel when a bunch of people walk in at the last moment and their desire to be in your presence confirms you as a teacher of rare knowledge and value to them. Well, when they confirm you, you in turn, confirm them equally by the relief that you feel and the knowledge that you are really needed. Lets face it, you need them and they need you. It's a two way street.<br /><br />Karl E.
