Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Aikido Master Saito - 3 DVD Set

Description
In Japan there are some great masters and then there are those who raise the bar several notches higher then the rest do. Master Saito has done that in this 3 DVD set on Aikido where he not only teaches the empty hand techniques of Aikido but he also shows the sword attacking and defense techniques plus he also teacches his favourite weapon the classic Aikido weapon "JO".

What this man teaches can only be summed up with the phrase "thank God some one captured this stuff on 16mm back in the 1960’s or it would have been lost to antiquity.

This high quality Black and white footage was recently found in the archives of a top level Judoka who bought it after reading the masters books Traditional Aikido which had the advertisements for the 8mm films inside the book.

Plus there is a full blown ddemonstration of Master Saito plus much much more.

Customer Reviews for Aikido Master Saito - 3 DVD Set

Dissapointed
Keeping it short and to the point:
A history section at the start of the disc is interesting, and it's good to have such footage. Repeating it for each disc to add volume is a waste of time and money. Secondly, forget using any of this footage to study details, the footage is too grainy and badly lit, the translations voice over is erattic, some of it not even there, and the Japanese audio very slight.
To get an overall impression of the style and technique of Master Saito is great, but better served if all three sections were on 1 disc. Spreading this out onto three left me feeling cheated. Don't buy this.Aikido Master Saito - 3 DVD Set
