Ever wondered how the traditional forms learned in your martial art are applied in the real world? This digital video will help you make the connection between your traditional forms, applied techniques and realistic self-defence applications. 

With Practice and Purpose being the focus, each of the ten (10) techniques is demonstrated multiple times in traditional form (kihon waza), applied form (oyo waza) and self defence form (goshin jutsu).

Whatever your martial arts background, this production will help you learn to bridge the gap in applying textbook knowledge to real life situations.

Another quality production from Joe Thambu Sensei (8th Dan), this widescreen presentation is packed with nearly an hour of technical analysis, freestyle Aikido, documentary footage and much more. 

About the Instructor:

Thambu Shihan, the Chief Instructor of Aikido Shudokan, has dedicated over 50 years to the practice of Aikido. Throughout his journey, he has trained under some of the most influential Aikido masters, including Soke Shioda Gozo, the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, Inoue Kyoichi Kancho, Chida Tsutomu Shihan, Takeno Takefumi Shihan, Thamby Rajah Sensei, Don Draeger Sensei, Soke Obata Toshishiro, the founder of Shinkendo, and Shihan Nariyama Tetsuro, the Chief Instructor of Tomiki Aikido. Each of these instructors is a world-renowned martial artist, and their teachings have significantly shaped Thambu Shihan’s approach to Aikido.

Thambu Shihan began his Aikido training in 1972 at the age of 11 under the guidance of his uncle, Thamby Rajah Sensei, known as the father of Aikido in Malaysia. He explored various martial arts disciplines, including Kendo and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo, during his teenage years. After earning his Shodan in 1978, he moved to Australia, where he initially trained in Aiki-Kai and Ju-jitsu before founding the first Yoshinkan Aikido dojo in Melbourne. His dedication to Aikido led him to Japan in 1983, where he trained at the Yoshinkan Honbu dojo in Tokyo. Over the years, Thambu Shihan has achieved numerous milestones, including being the youngest non-Japanese to be awarded fifth dan by Soke Shioda Gozo and later earning the ranks of sixth, seventh, and eighth dan. In 2008, he became the first non-Japanese person to receive the prestigious title of "Shihan" from the Yoshinkan Hombu dojo, a testament to his lifelong dedication and contribution to the art of Aikido.
