Which is the Best Aikido?


Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba, a great martial artist. Under his teachings, he had students which are well-known. For those training Aikido even now, trying to search for better Aikido video for fun or observation/ improvement, there are clip on these old students of O'sensei. These are students of O'Sensei:

塩田 剛三 Gozo Shioda, a uchi-deshi of O'Sensei and the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido. He has become known as one of the most "fiery" or "vigorous" people of aikido history. In one incident, Shioda and a fellow deshi got into a fight with a gang of criminal known as yakuza . He was able to defeat the gang by bringing down the leader first. He said that this was an essential tactic in a fight against many.

斉藤 守弘 Morihiro Saito, was often the sole training partner of Ueshiba, and had the unique opportunity to train with Ueshiba in the practice of the sword and short staff, which occurred early each morning before the other students arrived. He is expert in jo and bokken techniques.

Okay! That's it. Want others, find yourself, haha. The most appropriate clips are from Aikikai or IAF.
