Ueshiba Morihei 1935 Asahi demonstration at real speed

The famous 1935 Asahi dojo aikido (then aiki budo) demonstration performed by O’sensei Ueshiba Morihei can be seen all throughout youtube. Few people seem to notice however, that all these footages present the demonstration at a wrong speed: the film was recorded at 18 fps (which was standard for silent films at that time), but for some reason it was converted to VHS under the assumption of it being a 24 fps movie, which resulted in a 25% increase in speed. The purpose of this video is to restore the original speed: falling, hakama flowing and movements now seem more natural, and kiai shouts also have a deeper tone. Credits for this observation goes to Phil Davison, who wrote a very thorough analysis on this early footage: ://
