YouTube: Morihiro Saito, 13 Tachi Dori



Here's a video of Morihiro Saito (9th dan) demonstrating 13 tachi dori (sword takeaways) in 1992 in Jesi Italy (uke: Alessandro Tittarelli).

What are your thoughts on the video?

My thoughts? I'm book-marking this one as a reference.

Warning: Do not bend, fold or otherwise abuse... until we get to the dojo..

Re: YouTube: Morihiro Saito, 13 Tachi Dori

Did anyone see him do these in person? I'm wondering if the close range is an artifact of fitting the movement to the video frame, or if he always did them so close.

Evolution doesn't prove God doesn't exist, any more than hammers prove carpenters don't exist.

Hi Hugh,

The distance in which we did tachi dori was the distance between our front hand stretched to the tip of the sword. Pat Hendricks Sensei did it this way and Saito Sensei would show the same maai at his seminars.

Best,

Eric

Re: YouTube: Morihiro Saito, 13 Tachi Dori

These are great. This is the first time I'm seeing a few of these, great stuff! I think it is very important for Aikido students to understand this material and our link to the past. If you can't understand where Aikido came from, how can you understand what it is becoming? Great video, thanks!
