This video was recommended to me by many other people. Clear english narration with good slow-mo's to show the technique.

This is not a "seminar" video, but clearly a video shot just for the viewer.

This video along with the book "principals of Aikido" are a great study source.

Enjoy!

As a beginning aikido student, I found this video most helpful in examining techniques (slow motion on my VCR) in detail.

The video demonstrates approximately twenty aikido techniques (several times each).

I recommend it.

This tape was very clear and helpful in my training. It show about 20 techniques in detail with easy to understand ENGLISH translation (very greatful).

I was disappointed that more details were not given. It would be hard for a beginner to learn much more from this video than watching a Steven Seagal movie.

It started out good with some thoughts about Aikido in general, but then it showed the names of the techniques (which are japanesse, with no reasonable translation) and then they showed the techniques with no explanation as to what was going on. At first I thought the sound had been killed, but I could still hear the thuds of the people hitting the ground, and the drum sound when they showed the technique name. I normally do not write reviews, but I was very dissappointed with this video.
