Technical sophistication and simplicity translate into high-efficiency of movement. Your pedagogical method has no parallel. Outstanding work. Thank you!
a wonderful example of how it is those small, unseen things that make a technique work or not and if it works makes it work better. Some of these things are very difficult to explain somethimes. I am glad I found this video.
The principles Shibata sensei is sharing here are foundational. When these principles are incorporated everything else works correctly. Without them...nothing will work correctly. Thank you very, very much, Shibata sensei!
As a practitioner of Chinese internal martial arts, I must say your instructional video clips on Aikido and Aikijutsu are most definitely the best I've ever seen. The body mechanics demonstrated in this particular footage is also the essential basics of Chen Taiji's silk-reeling energy, but explained and shown in a very clear fashion. I hope your students understand how valuable this material is, and how lucky they are to be able to learn from a teacher like you, Shibata san!
Ah! I just got a lecture on youtube about wu sao from respected sensei. He said that wu sao must always be pointedat opponent so that you can always have control anytime. I don't understand by his explanation but he shows the movement. It works for him but I still can't relate. But from your explanation I become understand cause I also do sword training and is more understandable than showing using hands. Thank a lot. I think all martial art have same root of understanding, just how the way they use it or explain it which differs.
Sensei, you are always talking about kokyu :) Your videos are really very instructive. My dojo name is also koyku. We are training in Mersin / TURKEY. Thank you for sharing.
Hi sir been watching a lot of your videos and very good my teacher does very similar things to you he's a 4th Dan chief instructor of freestyle hapkido he's been doing it for 20 years and teaching for around 12 years I think aikido and hapkido are very much alike has they originated from daito Ryu akikijujitsu if I'm not mistaken I'm only 13 years old but my teacher learns me a lot regarding the history
