On this unique video, Mitsugi Saotome Sensei - a direct student of Aikido's Founder, Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei - demonstrates and explains his system for using two swords at once. Beginning with basic stances, he moves to defenses against attacks with single sword and eventually to defenses against multiple opponents. He also illustrates the direct connection of two-sword movement to Aikido's empty-handed throwing technique. Many of the demonstrations shown here were performed recently for this video. The video also contains rare footage of Saotome Sensei's 1988 Two-Sword Seminar at the Chicago Budokan.
Enjoyable for the beauty and ingenuity of Saotome Sensei's movement, this hour-long instructional video explores martial exercises for integrating and balancing the body's right and left sides. 

    About the Instructor – Mitsugi Saotome

    Mitsugi Saotome is one of the most influential Aikido teachers in the world and a direct disciple of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. Born in 1937 in Japan, Saotome Sensei entered the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo as a young man and trained intensively under O-Sensei during the final years of the founder’s life.

    Renowned for his dynamic technique, deep understanding of Aikido philosophy, and innovative approach to weapons training, Saotome Sensei later brought Aikido to the United States, where he founded the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba. Through decades of teaching, seminars, and writings, he has influenced thousands of practitioners worldwide.

    His Aikido emphasizes harmony, adaptability, and the integration of body, mind, and spirit—preserving the founder’s vision while expanding its expression for modern practitioners.
