Recalling his childhood during a 2004 interview, he said, “The first time I wore an Aikido uniform I was in the first grade of elementary school. But my family didn?t force me to do keiko (training) then, I just did it when I felt like it. I started training seriously in my high school years. My intention then was to become a successor to my father, and to preserve Kaiso?s [Morihei Ueshiba’s] legacy for the future.”In 1976, Ueshiba graduated from Meiji Gakuin University with a degree in economics. In 1996, he assumed the position of Dojocho (director/owner) of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. In 1997, he visited Ireland. He assumed the title of Doshu on January 4, 1999, following the death of his father, Kisshomaru Ueshiba. In January 2006, as part of Aiki-Kai Australia’s 40th anniversary, Ueshiba visited and taught in Australia.Ueshiba wrote the books Best Aikido: The fundamentals (2002, co-authored with his father Kisshomaru Ueshiba), The Aikido master course: Best Aikido 2 (2003), and Progressive Aikido: The essential elements (2005).Following the iemoto system, he is expected to be succeeded as Doshu by his son Mitsuteru Ueshiba.For more information, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriteru_Ueshibahttp://www.budovideos.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=18174EnjoyMediainfoGeneralComplete name : /home/holograf/downloads/manual/Moriteru Ueshiba – Principles Of Aikido.aviFormat : AVIFormat/Info : Audio Video InterleaveFile size : 629 MiBDuration : 48mn 38sOverall bit rate : 1 808 KbpsVideoID : 0Format : MPEG-4 VisualFormat profile : Simple@L1Format settings, BVOP : NoFormat settings, QPel : NoFormat settings, GMC : No warppointsFormat settings, Matrix : Default (H.263)Codec ID : DIVXCodec ID/Info : Project MayoCodec ID/Hint : DivX 4Duration : 48mn 37sBit rate : 1 634 KbpsWidth : 624 pixelsHeight : 480 pixelsDisplay aspect ratio : 4:3frame rate : 29.970 fpsColor space : YUVChroma subsampling : 4:2:0Bit depth : 8 bitsScan type : ProgressiveCompression mode : LossyBits/(Pixel*frame) : 0.182Stream size : 568 MiB (90%)Writing library : FFmpeg0.4.9-pre1b4721AudioID : 1Format : MPEG AudioFormat version : Version 1Format profile : Layer 3Mode : Joint stereoMode extension : MS StereoCodec ID : 55Codec ID/Hint : MP3Duration : 48mn 38sBit rate mode : ConstantBit rate : 160 KbpsChannel(s) : 2 channelsSampling rate : 48.0 KHzCompression mode : LossyStream size : 55.7 MiB (9%)Alignment : Aligned on interleavesInterleave, duration : 24 ms (0.72 video frame)Interleave, preload duration : 504 msWriting library : LAME3.96Screens
