Aikido Kobayashi Ryu DVD with Giampietro Savegnago

Master Savegnago is one of the world's leading exponents of Kobayashi Ryu Aikido, a style that preserves the teachings of Hirokazu Kobayashi Shihan, one of Morihei Ueshiba's most distinguished direct students. Renowned for its fluidity, precision, and natural movement, Kobayashi Ryu emphasizes the essence of Aiki through effortless timing, body movement, and technical efficiency.

In this comprehensive instructional program, Master Savegnago explores the fundamental principles that define the Kobayashi tradition. Among the subjects covered are Meguri (spiral movement), timing, Atemi, Tai Sabaki, and defenses against multiple attackers. The program also includes detailed instruction in Suwari Waza, Nikkyo, Irimi Nage and its variations, Jiyu Waza (free techniques), defenses against a variety of grips, Kaeshi Waza (counter-techniques), as well as traditional weapons training with the Jo and Bokken.

More than a collection of techniques, this program reveals the distinctive spirit of Kobayashi Ryu—a style that favors relaxed movement, precise body mechanics, and harmonious control over strength or resistance. Through Master Savegnago's expert instruction, practitioners will gain valuable insight into the unique interpretation of Aikido passed down from Hirokazu Kobayashi Shihan, faithfully preserving the vision and principles originally inspired by O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba.

An outstanding resource for Aikido practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of one of the art's most elegant and influential traditions.
