This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is Aikido and how can it help us to find solutions to modern-world issues like radioactive waste management?
In a surprisingly animated talk, Christophe Depaus gives us the chance to see aikido’s spiritual pillars explained in action – on just a 12m² stage! – and how to build a bridge between two worlds that seemed incompatible before.
Christophe Depaus is a mining engineer, philosopher of sciences, expert on nuclear international law and management of radioactive waste with a thirty years-long intensive Aikido training that brought him to reach the level of 5th dan at the young age of 37.
His very different experiences reunited by a strong holistic approach allowed Christophe to develop his own vision of Aikido’s application on education and society that he proposes in his dojo since 2006.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

An Aikido newbie here but it sounds like Aikido is a codified system of combat with profound, beneficial non-physical opportunities.
a very inspiring and interesting performance…. well done
Please no. Aikido is nothing more than a tool for delusional people to feel a false sense of confidence that when tested will blow up in their face.
Is it fair to say that aikido isnt a martial art if its about "peace"?
Lol aikido sucks
Excellent video
Bulshitdo
There are mushrooms which feed off of radioactivity..
Aikido,,gentlemans excuse for breaking bones lol. love it.
You move with your adversary not against them
I find it comforting that being an aikido pratitioner aligns with my values as a disciple of Jesus Christ!
I'm not really sure for the purpose of the demonstrations. Somehow doing choreographed moves with another Aikido partner doesn't seem like a good example for real life situations, whether as an allegorical lesson or a lesson in self defense.
beautiful
Excellent, a wonderful approach to Aikido…!!!! Definitely, a must see …!!! Congratulations…!!!
Beautiful – love, power without aggression. Skillful means to empower and protect.
The Book "spirituality of Aikido " changed me is noticeable ways that others said they could see, amazing💜😍
this is lame would not work in MMA
With all due respect to the sensei, this is why a lot of people think Aikido is not a martial art. In the end, it's about fighting and should be practiced as such. It is not a kumbaya thing. If you don't know how to roll out of a technique, you will break an arm, wrist, or elbow. That's not exactly kumbaya. Train under Shibata sensei and then talk about kumbaya.
will done sensei
Instead of using aikido for his system as he sounds like a Frenchman perhaps savate is better for him???
Aikido does not wrk maybe the joint locks after a clench or something but otherwise it's useless!!!Besides it only works on people who can't fight wth no training or unless someone is running towards them wth momentum👎
avoiding the escalation of violence is better by teeping, you know people who want to kill you don't actually charge toward you with their wrist forward waiting to be thrown right?
VERY nice display..
Magnificent presentation and message.
Very inspiring!
I have never thought of aikido as a martial art that directs against a partner, but one that you use with a partner as a teaching medium of instruction in civility.
Это не атака, а подстанова руки. В поддавки играют
My aikido sensei once told me "aikido isn't what you do, it's how you do it." Which is of great comfort to me when I rememer how terrible I am at aikido.
this is talk so much do
Povero O Sensei!
Please update the closed captioning? In some areas he is hard to understand and the closed captioning is off. (The room he trains in isn't a daughter, it's a dojo.) Thanks!
this made me feel proud to be a Aikidoka
