I had the pleasure of training Aikido with two great Sensei and I think there
is many similarities between Aikido and Karate, mainly in the use of hands and
footwork for defensive techniques. Also the nage-waza really remembers many
techniques we found in different kata. And the kuzushi in Aikido is very
intelligent and really works. I suggest that every karateka train Aikido for a
while to know this amazing art.

Nishio Sensei, who is depicted in the video photos was one of the post war
greats in Aikido. He was 5 th Dan in karate and 6 th Dan in Judo. He
incorporated many of those skills into his Aikido. Aikido in the Nishio Sensei
tradition is very martial and very effective. I have had the opportunity to
train and study under his top students in Japan for almost twenty years now. I
have also studied and practiced Isshin Ryu for thirty two years; the martial
principles are the same, just applied differently. There are many parallels
between the two. Most of the skilled Aikido people I know in Japan, also have extensive
backgrounds in karate and judo. Nishio Sensei taught Aikido is Budo and should
martially effective, the same can be said of karate. Aikido that is not
martially effective is not a Budo. Karate that is not martially effective is
not Budo. Very interesting post , there are many parallels, good effective
martial principles don’t change between various martial arts. Thank you for
posting and your research Victor Donald Smith Sensei.

I am not an Aikido Expert, I was allowed to participate in Sutrisno Family
Training Drills, which incorporated various aikido principles to teach those
principles and to instruct advancing students (green and brown belt) how to
utilize the space surrounding an attack to apply those principles. As more
information became available (books, magazines, internet, youtube) I discovered
I understood more and more what Aikido offered.
Tristan Sutrisno’s father had been drafted into the Japanese Navy in the 1930’s
a time when Indonesia was under Japanese control. As he was a doctor he
attended the Naval War College and there trained with Funakoshi Ginchin, and
studied Aikido with one of Usheiba’s students. Then Japan freed Indonesia , an
attempt to look nicer to the world, and during the War was in the Indonesian
resistance. Of course that is how the story was relayed to me.
Later his father started teaching the Karate he had studied. Bunkai (a
different paradigm from normal use) was not studied until dan level and then a
continuing study for life (That bunkai incorporated elements of karate, aikido
and tjimande).
As I saw it the use of those aikido drills I learned was to prepare the
advancing student for the greater Dan studies.
I chose to add those Aikido studies as mandatory yet subsidiary studies for my
advancing students for much the same reason Sutrisno sensei used them.
He got into more extensive aikido studies for his students too.
I see aikido as using circular motion. The aikido principles I studied used
very small circles, as when he applied those techniques some one punched and
before the strike hit, they were face down into the ground, face up on the
ground, projected away or locked into submission.
I have seen has aikido alongside an English Aikido-ka using much larger circles
both were very effective. Just a difference in execution not in result
