He is very heart warm gentleman. About 30 years ago, we were invited to Takeno-Sensei's dojo to practice aikido. I recall that the tatami mats in his dojo were exceptionally firm. As we boarded the train to return to Tokyo after the last day practice, Takeno-Sensei and his students came to the train station to seeing us off to farewell at the station.

This video is much appreciated. Even though I've only done a bit of Yoshinkan style, and mostly Aikikai, the concepts explained here are very useful.

Excelente video, uno de los mejores ejecutantes de la Yoshinkan, QEPD Takeno Shihan.

Thank you

ものすごく貴重な映像ですね…。ひと昔前なら、「秘蔵…」というタイトルで8000円ぐらいでビデオ化される感じですよね。

great video

When Mike Tyson came to see Yoshinkan Dojo, Takeno Sensei asked Mike Tyson if he would like to try it out. Mike Tyson is a professional, so of course he refused. What I mean is that Mr. Takeno had the confidence and determination to take on any challenge.

How did you use AI to translate this? I have many videos that are in Japanese and I'd like to get a better feel for what is being instructed. Thank you and thanks for uploading this!

There are several AI translation services out there. For this, I used Sonix.ai. I used a free trial and used up all my free minutes on this video. I tried another service with a DVD I have from Inoue Sensei, but the translation was even worse and they are all kind of pricey. Which is why you haven't seen any more of these from me! 😄

There's an app on MacOS called Aiko that does a good job as well.

Osu!

Great instruction vid! But, your translations need some help. "Of course you shold being alcohol with you?" This is where knowing the language is indispensable.

Thanks but as it says in the video description, the translation isn’t mine. It’s done through an AI and is clearly imperfect. Would the ability to speak Japanese have been helpful here? Sure. But unfortunately, it’s not a skill I’ve picked up in my years on this earth. So AI will have to do.

She is an exceptional woman who can withstand the master's powerful technique. Other practitioners might risk injury if the master employs his full strength on them.

@@t.k1221 yes she is , but a technique does not have to be applied so hard in order to be proven effective. Also in a real situation things always change anyways, so i doubt there is gonna be someone grabbing your wrists etc.

Mr. Gozo Shioda, Mr. Takeno's instructor, advises that in real combat situations, one should avoid holding hands. This means that a practice method could involve having your opponent hold your wrist.

Also, as you say, the reason Takeno Sensei's techniques are so powerful is because he doesn't use superficial powers. Sensei Takeno also taught many Japanese police officers, but they did not want to receive Sensei Takeno's technique because it was too intense.

On the other hand, I am against posting videos of her receiving techniques on KZread. For those who don't know about her flexibility and outstanding abilities, the video looks like nothing more than bullying of the weak.
