Saito Sensei Aikido Demonstration (1986) Bukiwaza Aikido’s Purest Form Revealed

Описание: This rare Saito Sensei Aikido demonstration, filmed during his 1986 tour of Melbourne and Sydney, is more than archival footage—it’s a living transmission from the very heart of Aikido’s origin.

Morihiro Saito Shihan, direct student of O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, trained in Iwama daily with the Founder for over 20 years. In this public demonstration—his second on Australian soil—Saito Sensei shares the essence of Takemusu Aiki: form, breath, timing, and the logic that transforms conflict into flow.

As you watch, you may begin to feel the unspoken precision in each movement. Notice how power is never forced, but aligned. Every technique—whether with sword, jo, or empty hand—emerges from a centre unshaken by aggression.

Organised by Barry Knight, Michael Field, and Saburo Takeyasu, and my Sensei Marelli Sensei as Uke, this demonstration was part of a greater mission: to root authentic Iwama Aikido in Australia. And it succeeded—because what was passed on here still echoes in dojos and hearts decades later.

Whether you’re still on the mat or simply carrying Aikido within, this video is an anchor. It reconnects you to the source, without dilution or drift.
