Well, it does say that it's a lecture, right up front. He is explaining principles and how to deal with various common waza in aikido and jujutsu, and how internal body method functions against opponents using conventional "external" movement.
"...Unrivaled in the fields of Japanese aikido, sword fighting, judo and knife throwing? When Yoshida was young, he never lost a match in reverse hand techniques (gyakute), sword fighting or judo. He always explained that martial arts are for human physical and psychological training and discipline... I have never seen or heard of techniques as wonderful as my teacher's. His mastery of his art can only be called perfection. As an example of just how excellent this man's technique is, I will cite his ability to catch a fly in flight with a pair of chopsticks. This is the type of technique that can be executed only by someone whose movements, techniques and breathing have been perfected to the ultimate... until he was nearly fifty, Yoshida was performing this difficult technique with extraordinary skill."

I have read that Mr Salahuddin´s skills can be traced back to Kotaro Yoshida, one of Takeda Sokaku´s first student. I recall that he was responsible for introducing Ueshiba Morihei to Sokaku back in Hokkaido at the beginning of the last century.
Yoshida Kotaro, contrary to what has been stated in a famous book (transparent power) was indeed a very skilled martial artist who introduced Datio-ryu to a certain Oyama Masutatsu, founder of the Kyokushin Karate, today´s world´s largest style.
In this is Karate, we can read the following statement from Sosai Oyama about his teacher Yoshida Kotaro:"...Unrivaled in the fields of Japanese aikido, sword fighting, judo and knife throwing? When Yoshida was young, he never lost a match in reverse hand techniques (gyakute), sword fighting or judo. He always explained that martial arts are for human physical and psychological training and discipline... I have never seen or heard of techniques as wonderful as my teacher's.

It is very nice to see that Yoshida´s knowledge somehow made it to the present day and did not simply die out. Thank you Cady for putting the videos.
