This is a delightful (in my opinion, anyway) snippet of a demonstration of aikido/aikijujutsu by Shioda Gozo, arranged for U.S. Atty. General Robert Kennedy and his entourage in Japan, back in the 1960s. This short bit of footage is part of a longer film/demo that is currently available on YouTube.
According to accounts, Kennedy's bodyguard thought that Shioda's "stuff" was fake, so naturally he was the prime pick as uke for a very special demonstration of aiki.
