Old & Rare Aikido DVD with Alfonso Longueira

Master Alfonso Longueira is known for preserving and teaching techniques that have largely disappeared from the modern Aikido curriculum. Drawing inspiration from the art's classical roots, he revisits direct, efficient, and highly practical applications that emphasize decisive control with minimal effort.

In this instructional program, Longueira presents numerous variations of traditional techniques, demonstrating how an opponent can be controlled with remarkable precision—sometimes using nothing more than the pressure of a single finger. Classical techniques such as Sankyo are explored from a fresh perspective, revealing practical adaptations that enhance their effectiveness. The program also includes defenses against leg attacks and dynamic entries that place the defender in a stable, combative position better suited to the realities of self-defense.

Combining traditional Aikido principles with a pragmatic martial mindset, Longueira offers an interpretation of the art that is direct, powerful, and uncompromising, while remaining faithful to the essence of Budo. This is a unique opportunity to study a side of Aikido that is seldom taught today but remains deeply rooted in its original martial heritage.
