Re: Crazy Ki demonstration by Barrish Sensei
I like the vid. It is one way to train - and have fun, but not the only way. I agree with David V about the beginnings of techs. The guy is good and I'll bet he has a solid background, not a fluffy one.
Generally though, despite overly sensitive ukes ALL OF THE TIME, it is a very well put together vid and I like it. I believe, being a sensitive uke is an essential skill - but not the only one - to learning Aikido well.
At the end of the day, I think people can only believe aiki stuff if they have Ueshiba's face, or at least a very Japanese one.
