Youtube, DVDs & Videos

Youtube has lots of AKI videos. Just enter Yoshinobu Takeda, Seigo Yamaguchi, AKI or Aikido Kenkyukai into the search engine. You may come across some of Takeda Sensei's more unsual demonstrations in this lot - remember that Aikido Kenkyukai means Aikido Research Group, and Takeda Sensei's research goes beyond the boundaries of normal Aikido 'technique'.

For a pictorial history of our lineage from O'Sensei to Yamaguchi Sensei and beyond, check out the AKI Santa Babara Youtube playlist on http://www.youtube.com/user/AikidoKenkyukaiSB#user/33ADCE4FEAE26B66/1/B6ye0LvFrfU

AKI members can ask to loan or copy (where copyright allows) these DVDs & videos. Ask your sensei about them.
