One of my very favorite videos of Yamaguchi Sensei...
Every year I do my best to travel to Japan to train and give a demonstration when Doshu or Dojo-Cho visit our Dojo in Kamakura, Japan.
Until his passing in 1996, it was Yamaguchi Sensei who came and gave a class and demonstration at AKI's dojo at Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine in Kamakura for all members of Aikido Kenkyukai International.
It was not unusual to have a couple hundred people on the mat for his classes.
It's still impressive to watch my sempai take ukemi for him.
Enjoy the video and tell me in the comments section if you've ever trained in Japan. Or if you ever trained with Yamaguchi Sensei.
