For those who may be interested, there's some software come onto the market called Aikido3D. Check it out! Aikido3D homepage

Looks cool!

That's pretty interesting! (I see copy cats coming )

Looks interesting... Does it cover ALL the techniques though? Alright priced too, wish it was more like $40 or $30 but still seems better than some tapes.

Anybody demo this yet? We should post up a review.

From what it says on the website, it covers 100 techniques. I'm thinking of investing in a copy just as a training aid to use whenever the dojo is closed! Obviously this software can't replace training but it looks good as an addition to.

This stuff looks really good I wish I could afford it.. I wonder if theres anything else like this out there?

Looks really good, but I still don't think you can beat the DVD's showing sensei practicing the techniques. take for example the 3 DVD box set by Gozo Shioda.

I do like the fact that you can choose your angle however, but the price seems a bit steep!

Well, I decided to treat myself and went and ordered the software. It arrived yesterday and it is excellent! Really easy to use, has loads of different techniques. You have full control of angles, the speed of which the motion plays, the footsteps of tori, a running commentary and a brief description of each technique sits beside the animation. As I'm a brit and the exchange rate with the dollar is good for us I got it for £31 including P&P, a bargain!!!

I would recommend it highly!
