Noriaki Inoue: Aikido's Forgotten Pioneer

Full Noriaki Inoue documentary and more on Aikido Journal TV: http://aikidojournal.tv An astonishing fact has been written out of aikido history. If you suddenly learned that Morihei Ueshiba had a close associate whom you have never heard of... who played a pivotal role in the creation of aikido, how would you react? If this person were a blood relative of the Founder of Aikido... if it were true that his family was partly responsible for financing Morihei Ueshiba's early activities, would this interest you? If this man lived in Morihei's house as a boy, and was present wherever Morihei was, in Tanabe, in Hokkaido, in Ayabe, in Tokyo, in Osaka, in Manchuria, would you not be the least bit curious? All of this is true... Noriaki (Yoichiro) Inoue (1902-1994)
