Takemusu Aiki Bukikai Aikido Techniques & Demonstrations DVD by Patricia Guerri

By Patricia Guerri, Soke & Chief Instructor of Aiki Bukikai

This instructional program presents the essence of Aiki through an extensive study of Tai-Jutsu and Aiki-Waza as taught within the Aiki Bukikai system. Discover a wide variety of empty-hand techniques seamlessly linked together to demonstrate the fluidity, efficiency, and adaptability that define authentic Aiki. The training begins with Tai-no-Henko and Kokyu, the fundamental exercises upon which the entire system is built, before progressing to increasingly sophisticated applications.

Every technique is demonstrated clearly from multiple camera angles, allowing you to study each movement in detail without the need for lengthy explanations. By understanding the underlying principles rather than memorizing isolated techniques, you will develop the ability to create effective responses naturally, regardless of the point of contact or the nature of the attack.

Aiki Bukikai is dedicated to preserving the complete technical heritage of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba, as faithfully transmitted by Morihiro Saito Sensei throughout his lifetime at the Iwama Dojo in Japan. These teachings represent an invaluable martial legacy that deserves to be passed on intact to future generations.

Patricia Guerri devoted twelve years to studying directly under Morihiro Saito Sensei, including three years as an uchi-deshi (live-in student) at the historic Iwama Dojo. This program is both an authentic presentation of the teachings she received and a heartfelt tribute to her teacher, whose dedication ensured the preservation of traditional Aiki. Through this work, Patricia Guerri honors his legacy and continues his mission of sharing the true spirit and techniques of Iwama Aikido with practitioners around the world.
