A legendary swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645), was known for engaging in sword duels armed only with a bokken when facing opponents with razor sharp steel blades. Musashi was said to have been victorious in over 60 life-or-death sword duels.

Just an amazing video, which provides a small window into the vast skill and talent of Matsuoka Sensei. Those of us who have the opportunity to train under his tutelage can attest to his remarkable skill, power, and passion for the art. One needs to experience his talent firsthand to see how true-to-life this video is.

The video represents a clear distillation of Matsuoka Sensei’s long and deep trek into the practical side of higher-level martial arts. I would say certainly “…an inspiring commentary on why we continue to train.”

Matsuoka Sensei’s aikido is sharp and smooth at the same time. Very precise Aikido. My appreciation and admiration. Thank you for producing this video. I wish they had this aikido style here in the Philippines.
Very very beautiful video. Sensei is great
How do I add this to my RSS reader? Sorry I’m a newbie
Awesome, smooth, loved it, well done!!
Today my sensei Antonio Peña has told about this video, I´m eager to learn again with Matsuoka sensei this autumn in Seville. All the best.
This is the real aikido I hope more videos
I´m very happy that in the world of aikido exist senseis like Matsuoka because he is a good reason to practice this beautiful martial art. See you on the tatami friends.
es estupendo, lo que me gustaria saber es si Matsuoka Sensei tiene algun video divulgativo de programa de kyu y cienturòn negro. Muchas gracias, y disculpen por no hablar inglès.
Great video, very powerful Aikido…Matsuoka Sensei knows my Sensei and style, awe inspiring work!
Very nice video. It was good to see sensei doing his thing again. Though many years have passed and I am long removed from my days of training, I will never forget everything I learned from Matsuoka Sensei and his students. They were life-long lessons that have made me a better person for having learned them, and lessons I can now pass on to my own children.
I wish you all the very best of luck and hope to train with you again some day in the not-to-distant future.
Warm regards,
Richard D.
