Description
Morihei Ueshiba King of Aikido VOLUME II
This exciting historic video is Volume II of a two Volume set. It features spectacular 1960s footage of Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), the founder of aikido! It shows shots of O-Sensei performing in his later years when his technique was even more refined. It contains shots of O-sensei teaching and demonstrating and much more! His perfect circular movements and execution of techniques bring his opponents into his dynamic sphere where they are tossed about effortlessly. O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba is truly the "King of Aikido"! 60 min

This is like the best footage I have seen with Morihei Ueshiba. Many of his techniques are beyond reproach and seem nearly invisible.Totally awesome stuff. Highly informative and I?m sure will be great in anyone?s video collection that is into Aikido.
 lots of histoic footage but of poor quality March 30, 2004

Good DVD packaging with front cover of Akido master. No problem playing the DVD on both Apex and Mustek players. I bought this DVD as a historic document for my library, and not knowing the film quality. I am happy there is a lot of film footage of the master with his students (both indoor and outdoor classes), but the quality is very poor. Many scenes are filmed with way too much light (it may be film deterioation) so that if the students are wearing white, they blend in with the extreme brightness of the room. There is more contrast in bright light of the film when students are wearing black clothes, but not much. You see very little detail in the footage because lack of contrast washes out the figures. Do not buy this DVD to study the form of the master. Buy it if you want a rare historic document to add to your library.
