Shinjido instructionals: judo and aikido
I just wanted to make mention of the new Shinjido videos by Danny Dacosta. Mr Dacosta is likely well known to those from England, being a 6th Dan in Aikido and 6th Dan in Judo. Judoka may also recognize him as a European and British Open medalist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKjJ3tI39hk I viewed both Shinjido sets and really enjoyed them, and I'm not getting paid to say that. Anyone interested in seeing the marriage of aikido and judo should take a gander at Danny's work. At under 10 pounds, it's definitely an affordable option. http://www.fightingfilms.tv/r/dsmgr3s0j8 http://www.fightingfilms.com/index.php?item=284 |

Yes, I just caught word of that on judoforum. I had always hoped to meet him one day and attend a shinjido course.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Danny had been ill for quite a while as I understand it; rest in peace http://www.shinjido.com/ |
Re: Shinjido instructionals: judo and aikido
I have received several messages of the passing of Danny Dacosta - Danny was highly respected in both Judo and Aikido. Danny was a guest at our memorial event to "Masahilo Nakazono Sensei " back in 2007.
Dang Phong Sensei was also a guest instructor, Danny was delighted to meet someone smaller than himself which kept him amused - he had a great sense of humour as can be seen from some of his YT videos. R.I.P. Danny Henry Ellis Co-author of `Positive Aikido`. http://britishaikido.blogspot.com/ |
