Présentation
This DVD features an outstanding seminar given by Morihiro
Saito Sensei in Italy in May 1985. Saito Sensei was 58
years old at the
time and in fine form. This particular event was the third of many
seminars he would give over the years in Italy. The program also
includes an introduction and closing comments by Aikido
Journal Editor Stanley Pranin who accompanied Saito Sensei during these
seminars as his interpreter. This high-quality, professionally
shot event has now been fully restored and is presented for the
first time.
“Lost Seminars,
Part 2” contains some very important
footage that will be of great interest to enthusiasts of aikido
technique. For example, one section features a detailed presentation
of a whole series of sankyo techniques - some very unusual - that
Saito Sensei would teach only rarely. In addition, there are several
excellent sequences of techniques from morotedori, shomenuchi,
and yokomenuchi attacks. The last part of the program is devoted
to the Aiki Ken and Jo with emphasis on the first
kumitachi and
the 31 jo kata.
