Wow! What a cool video on Robert Mustard Sensei (BC). Click on the link and scroll to the bottom of the page and watch the video on Robert Mustard doing an aikido demonstration. Truly spectacular and unbelievable if you've never taken aikido before!

BTW, does anyone else wish to post to this thread? It seems weird to reply to my own posts! :)

Just found the thread, NoK, but here's the photo/video site of my sensei's dojo, though it's Aikikai instead of Yoshinkan, so it's a bit different.

They're a bit choppy, but still decent.

I haven't checked out these videos yet, but if they work this is a great site. 13 clips of O-Sensei!

http://www.aikidojournal.com/Video/index.asp

It includes pictures of O-Sensei working with jo and bokken, which should finally disprove the no weapons theory.

Not Aikido or anything like that, but here's some nice photos of progressions of unarmed techniques, including some joint locks.
