While geeking out on the other topic, I came across this cool video I had never seen before. You see a younger Ueshiba doing an aikido demo, and what struck me was the way he takes the initiative in almost every technique. In particular, I like the hip bump at 0:20:
At 0:44: collar grab and a technique known as "Old Man Yeets Victim Through Window".
At 0:47: jab, then throw from a 2-on-1 on the parrying arm.
Fun stuff.
