Lost Techniques represents a step toward reversing this terrible loss. Focused on techniques which for the most part have been misplaced within the practice of today's Aikido, Lost Techniques demonstrates their application in order to broaden the viewer's understanding as to the scope of the Traditional Aikido of Ueshiba Morihei O'Sensei.

Tanren - Spirit Forging
Item# AT-TR - $29.95

Building the Tanren Stand and the application of the basic practice of Tanren-Uchi for the Dojo or Home

During O'Sensei's lifelong pursuit of the Way of Aiki, he both used and developed many training methods. One method O'Sensei utilized extensively during his period of austere training was Tanren-Uchi (the forging of the spirit through repetitious striking). Part one of this new video features step-by-step instruction on how to construct a heavy-duty Tanren stand with only basic tools and a little desire. Part two demonstrates the basic use and foundation of Tanren training. Develop your grip, forearms, and lower back muscles while forging your Aiki-Spirit. Order your copy of Tanren today!

JuKen Dori
Item# AT-JD - $29.95

Aikido's Forgotten Art

This vital new video demonstrates and discusses the lost art of JuKen Dori (bayoneted rifle defense). Practiced and taught by O'Sensei during the Aiki-Budo (1931 - 1941) and early Aikido era (1942 - 1946). JuKen, the wooden rifle and bayonet (alternately termed Mokuju) was used extensively for military training during the Russo-Japanese War and World War II. O'Sensei developed techniques, using the principles of Aiki, to disarm an attack from JuKen. Through the practice of JuKen Dori one can see the two-way influence of O'Sensei's development of Jo-Dori (Staff taking).

JuKen Dori, as presented in this new video, offers a unique platform for studying the roots of O'Sensei's Aikido.

Item# AT-JD
$29.95


Tachi-Dori
Item # AT-TD - $29.95

Sword Taking

Tachi-Dori examines the art of sword taking as it is utilized in the practice of Traditional Aikido. From precise body movement to Sen-no Sen (acting on the thought of initiation of attack), the foundation through advanced applications of both throwing and pinning techniques demonstrated in this new video encompass all the necessary elements needed to build a strong repertoire for testing, while at the same time, gaining a correct understanding of this, all too often haphazardly applied, facet of Aikido.

Item # AT-TD
$29.95


Jo-Nage Jo-Dori
Item# AT-JN - $29.95

Throwing with the Staff and Staff Taking

This new tape addresses the question, "What are the Kihon Waza (foundation techniques) of Jo-Nage (throwing with the staff) and Jo-Dori (staff taking)?" Possibly more important to many, "How to build a solid repertoire of these arts for use in Dan testing."

Regardless of your current level, the concise information in Jo-Nage Jo-Dori will expand your Aikido knowledge.
