Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu: Practical Techniques VHS by Seigo Okamoto (Preowned)

Like the simultaneously released "Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu: Principles and Methods Book," this tape uses a lot of slow motion to explain the practical techniques of Aiki. Master Okamoto Seigo, head of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Roppokai, has made full use of the results of his 20 years of instruction. This is the long-awaited compilation of Aiki techniques, from Sokaku Takeda to Kodo Horikawa to Seigo Okamoto. This is volume one of a two tape series. About the instructor: Seigo Okamoto was born on February 10, 1925 in Yubari, Hokkaido. In 1968, at the age of 38, he entered the Daito Ryu school for the first time and studied under Kodo Horikawa. Despite his late start, he gained the seventh dan in 1974, when he began to realize that "the more you learn it, the less physical strength you use, and the more rational the technique becomes," and moved to Tokyo three years later. The following year, in 1978, he was licensed as a Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu instructor by Kodo Horikawa. However, the following year Horikawa passed away, and he took up his master's will and held the reservation Daiho-kai at the Todenkai. He is currently working with many of his students to hone his excellent techniques and promote them. Note: This is a VHS tape (not a DVD). Please make sure you can play it before purchasing.
