Informatie:	Aikido’s founder, Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei combined elements of traditional Japanese martial arts, transforming deadly fighting systems into an “Art of Peace.” On this DVD, Saotome Sensei – a direct student of Aikido’s founder – demonstrates and explains the sword movements on which many of Aikido’s empty-hand techniques rest. After discussing the basics of grip and stance, he illuminates some fundamental principles of Samurai swordsmanship, offers a sequence of bokken suburi (simple exercises with a wooden sword), and then demonstrates the 15 kumitachi (complex patterns for two) that are the heart of his sword instruction. (The first 5 kumitachi, which Saotome Sensei regards as basic, are explained in detail.) There is something here for all who are interested in Aikido and Japanese swordsmanship – from advanced students to those who simply enjoy its efficiency, elegance, and beauty. The DVD, which runs 58 minutes, features full menus. Original music by Teja Bell.
