Among the numerous video titles in our product catalog is a DVD titled “Aiki Budo” featuring Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba. This exciting DVD showcases the prewar Aiki Budo of Morihei and begins with a new 45-minute documentary written and produced by Aikido Journal Editor-in-chief Stanley Pranin that traces the life of the Founder from his boyhood in Tanabe through his retirement to Iwama in 1942. Morihei’s early martial arts training, his study of Daito-ryu aikijujutsu under the famous Sokaku Takeda, his involvement with the Omoto religious sect led by Onisaburo Deguchi, and a history of Ueshiba’s Kobukan Dojo are presented.
