Dear Jun,
Tada Shihan is one of my favourite aikidoka.He is really dynamic [even today ]. He generates so much power. Really martial, blows his ukes away.Great Ukes by the way.So much better than some of the softer style of aikido we see today.Tada Sensei in this video displays aikido in a martial light.What a man.Great stuff , post some more please ,cheers, Joe
