Budovideos.com - Aikido 3 DVD Set by Joe Thambu

This set includes all 3 DVDs by Joe Thambu - Australia's leading Yoshinkan Aikido instructor. Amazingly high production quality throughout. Techniques are demonstrated both in the dojo and in public settings such as streets, cars, restaruants, etc.

DVD 1: Aikido Foundations

Specifically for students of Yoshinkan Aikido, this DVD covers all of the Dai Ichi Kihon (First Basic Group of Techniques) as well as including a variety of material to assist new to intermediate students.

This high quality production is nearly an hour long and clearly and simply demonstrates the essentials for improving your Kihon Waza & Kihon Dosa. A great reference for teachers and students alike.

DVD Extras: History of Aikido Shudokan Featurette; Demonstration by Joe Thambu Sensei from Thamby Sensei 50 Years of Excellence in Budo Demo 2002; Glossary; Extended Previews of Other Titles.

DVD 2: Aikido Practice & Purpose

This title will aid all martial artists in making the connections between their traditional forms and real world applications. Practice & Purpose being the focus, each technique is analysed in traditional form (kihon waza), applied form (oyo waza) and self defence form (goshin jutsu).

Another quality production produced by Sensei Joe Thambue, this high quality wide screen production is packed with nearly an hour of technique analysis, freestyle Aikido and additional materials.

DVD Extras: History of Aikido Shudokan Featurette; Demonstration by Joe Thambu Sensei from Takeno Shihan Australian Tour 2001; Glossary; Extended Previews of Other Titles.

DVD 3: Restraint & Removal - The Aiki Concept

Produced by Joe Thambu (6th Dan) Australia's leading Yoshinkan Aikido teacher, this video introduces you to concepts and techniques that will give you a high degree of control and power in physically threatening situations.

Created for security & law enforcement personnel, the video features a basic framework of entry, evasion, striking and locking that anyone can learn to utilise. 'The Aiki Concept' convincingly shows how the fundamentals of traditional Japanese martial arts can be used for defence of self and others in a modern world. Security professional or not, every martial artist should own this!

DVD Extras: Historic Footage of Ueshiba Morihei, Shioda Gozo and Thamby Rajah; Extended Previews of Other Titles.

We sell NTSC and PAL DVDs to customers all over the world on a daily basis without much problem. Occasionaly there are a few customers with older set top DVD players that cannot do a signal conversion.

Because a computer is neither PAL nor NTSC, you should have no problem playing an NTSC or PAL DVD on your computer.

I own the "DVD 3: Restraint & Removal - The Aiki Concept".

There is no doubt that Aikido has had an impact on modern day defensive tactics. Officers and security personel understood that "control" is a better keyword than "damage", at a certain time. But traditional aikido is so far removed from reality, that bridging that gap becomes a challenge. Robert Koga was the pioneer, and these Australian guys fortunately continues the Aikido effectiveness thing going.

I really liked the thumb-control (from lapel grab). All the techniques could have been better explained in terms of principles that make them work, and so on.
