Description of  Yoshinkan Aikido: An Introduction to Basic Technique (3 DVD Box Set)

In 1999, the Yoshinkan Aikido Hombu Dojo in collaboration with Aiki News published an updated edition of its official training video manual in bilingual format. This training video aid complied under the supervision of Kyoichi Inoue Sensei serves as an invaluable reference for beginners and instructors alike. About Yoshinkan Aikido: Yoshinkan Aikido was founded by Gozo Shioda in 1955. Shioda learned from Morihei Ueshiba, originator of aikido, as a high school student in prewar Japan. He was one of Ueshiba’s top disciples and the first to disseminate aikido publicly after the War. Despite his diminutive stature, Gozo Shioda was known for his precise technique and incredible timing. The powerful, effective techniques of Yoshinkan Aikido reflect Shioda’s technical genius.
