Takeshita's contacts with the Imperial family led to a demonstration at the Imperial Palace Sainenkan dojo in 1941.

By this he meant that if he performed "real" techniques his partner would be killed!

Well, Ueshiba's uke at that demo was killed anyway... Not by Ueshiba but by a grunt in a streetfight. Maybe he was taught "false" techniques too.
