“When O-Sensei explained Aikido he always said that taijutsu (body techniques) and ken and jo techniques were all the same. He always started out his explanation of Aikido using the ken.”- Saito Sensei“ The relationship of the RIAI (the connection between Tai-Jutsu and Buki Waza) was taught only in Iwama. O-Sensei trained very hard in Iwama. The development began in 1945 and ended between 1960-65. Aikido was established during this period in Iwama. I was just like to say a few words about this and on the lies about Aikido O-Senseis. For example, there are people who claim that there are no weapons in Aikido. That makes me angry. I want the truth to come to light and the background of Aikido to come to light. Please put this interview on the Internet. I am particularly angry that people often overlook the fact that O-Sensei was a man of Iwama and that Aikido was developed during his time in Iwama.“ Extracted from an interview with Saito Sensei (conducted by Mats Alexanderson) on the day of his 50th aikido anniversary. For more see this incredible video interview with Saito Sensei in 1998, Fugelsø, Denmark. Including footage of the Inauguration of the new dojo 1990: Video footage from an NHK film documentary shot on location in Iwama in 1973. #iwama #saitosensei #riai #harmony #principles#ken #jo #emptyhand #bukiwaza #taijutsu#takemusu #aikido #online #dojoWelcome to the Takemusu Aikido Online Dojo! 🔸 🔸 Check out the full YouTube PLAYLIST here: 🔸 Read our BLOG here: 🔸 Email: takemusuaikidoonline@ The Dojo began on the 7th April 2020 and meets regularly for daily practice.
