Library 1011
The intention is to provide a summary of video resources and other materials related to the 1101 techniques Michael Field Sensei received from Saito Sensei, and to preserve the Art as taught by O’Sensei as taught directly to Saito Sensei over the period of 24 year.
The intended audience is Sensei’s and other experienced aikidoka.
I have worked out that I have learnt one thousand techniques from Saito Sensei. On your way to fourth dan with me, you get to learn a thousand techniques. I am not trying to find more to add to it. I am not trying to make it less. That is what I have inherited, and that is what I am going to pass on. no more, no less. The whole lot. Debt paid in full.
Michael Field Sensei, Ballarat 2005
Field Sensei went on to finalise the number of techniques at 1011.
