Tomiki Kenji was born in 1900 in Japan. As a youngster, he became a student of the esteemed Judo master Jigaro Kano, under whose guidance young Tomiki became a superior Judo student. At the urging of Kano, Tomiki undertook the study of Aikido under its founder M. Ueshiba, and soon he began to excel in this art as well. By the time Tomiki grew into manhood he was considered one of the most knowledgeable martial arts experts in Japan, respected by one and all, not only for his knowledge but for his skill as a teacher to whom 1000s flocked. This DVD is just a sampling of the great masters skill and is being released as a tribute to a truly great martial artist of the 20th Century.

Morihiro Saito was one of the senior students of the architect of Aikido Moreihei Ueshiba.

You will learn not just the basic techniques and take aways but also training drills combinations, offensive and defensive techniques You will also see a complete full color demonstration by Master Saito that is simply but phenomenal. He is also seen teaching a class of Aikido. This is one of those rare DVDs that was lost until recently and was shot at the same time his 5 volume book series was photographed. This series of course is no longer in print and the few copies that are available sell for hundreds if not thousands of dollars. If you have ever wanted to see a full dvd of a master teaching and demonstrating the defense and offense of the sword this is it. There is nothing better available . Most of this is in B/W and is very high quality and some of it is in full colour.

Master Saito’s Jo techniques are considered the best of the best. In fact it is said that he obviously favored this weapon over most others because of its practicality. The Master not only teaches the basic simple techniques but he also will show you many advanced combinations and take aways that are unbelievable and his skill smoothness and skill level are top shelf. He also tea teaches the original version of Aikido’s Jo Kata teaching each of the 31 moves in three different directions so that you can see each and every nuisance of the moves. The Jo is such a versatile weapon only after watching a master like Master Saito perform the throws locks pins and much more can you appreciate its value. Many Police forces around the world have have employed the usage of this weapon especially for their mounted horse patrols. This DVD also has the master demonstrating and as well teaching a class of foreign students the usage of the jo and this is in full color while the first portion is in B/W and was shot at the same time as his 5 volume book set was photographed.

Smooth, smooth, smooth, is all one can say. Master Saito was one of Ueshiba’s original students and his skill is totally amazing. He is fast, he is filled with ki, and yes, he is very, very smooth, as you will surely see. He teaches basic techniques and advanced techniques in this production. He will demonstrate for you and you will be able to see him teaching a class of students some of the same techniques he demonstrates in the first portion of the production. You will learn many advanced combinations, as well as several reversals, and just so much more... only watching will make you a believer. This man is so filled with ki it simply oozes out of him in every move he does. You will see how he starts and ends a class the exact way he was taught by his master, the founder of Aikido Master Ueshiba. This production was shot at the same time as his 5 volume book set was photographed. This book set is no longer in print and, if you can find them, they sell for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars each. The entire production is as rare as can be. The first portion of it is in B/W and the last portion including a demonstration of Master Saito and as well him teaching a class is in full color. Both portions are very high quality.

This is the best production of Aikido masters demonstrating ever put together in one DVD. You will see the master himself demonstrate and then you will see his seniors all performing at their very best some in color some in B/W. Names like Gozo Shioda, Koichi Tohei, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Morihiro Saito, Master Ueshiba and several more of Aikido’s top masters all show you there skills. Some of the footage is in full color while others of it dates back to the 1930s so it is in B/W, but it is in very high quality. You will see body techniques, sword techniques, defensive and offensive, Tanto defense, jo offense and defense techniques one on one and multiple attackers plus just so much more it is incredible. Much of this footage was lost until very recently and has never been available until mid 2004, so it has most likely not been seen before. These are the men who to whom Aikido owes its creation.

WE all know he was the founder, but did you see him ever perform at this speed and precision? He moves on his knees like most people walk across the room. He was most certainly a showman, but like the old saying goes, if you can do it it is not bragging, it is a demonstration of your skill. Master Ueshiba was one of those highly gifted people who was able to talk the talk and walk the walk, so to speak. This entire B/W footage is without question some of the best of the master at more than one demonstration or seminar or class. There is no sound, as it was filmed in 1930s. Hence it is a silent movie but the perfect music overlay make it a pleasure to watch. Ueshiba is the one master that all masters, no matter their art watched and used as a role model as he was talented, charismatic and a one of a kind.
