Hiroshi Tada is a 9th Dan in Aikido. He is also 83 years old and still active in teaching aikido.
Below is a recent video of him. Ok, the ukes are a little on the compliant side, but look at the way the man moves! He's 83. I hope to be able to move like that when I'm 83.
Still very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I could move like that NOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm 29 and I barely move that well!
ReplyDeleteThere's a very extensive eight part interview with Hiroshi Tada available here: http://www.aikidosangenkai.org/blog/aikido-shihan-hiroshi-tada-budo-body-part-1/
