Why Thank you Jason, so nice of you to say so, and we really appreciate your ongoing support!. We have a couple of very cool wing chun clips coming soon which I think you'll really like

our pleasure mate - there's a lot going on here

more of an exercise I think

Especially against a shomen ate head thrust or punch that is meant!! The "exercise" is merely called "kuzushi" in Tomiki aikido and is practised as a suwari waza technique.... Shihonage or tenkai kote gaeshi, even done at speed is difficult to get on against somebody resisting as I experienced it in randori shiai... The only way to get it, is to get as low as possible under ukes center using the principle shown which is to direct it into the shoulder... Nothing new under the Sun... Obviously you guys have never experienced Tomiki aikido... but there you go, we are known as "heretics" ... Kuzushi as I see it and felt, is to get uke up onto his toes... Something rarely seen in the aikido practised in most "Traditional" dojos today... For those who don't know what "Kuzushi" means, is to totally unbalance... All I see is totally co operational which is basically kata... Its totally different when applied in real time against a committed attack against a totally resisting opponent or uke...

21 jo kata?? i know the 31 and the 13. Do you mean one of the 20 jo suburi?

@@nikosskeptikos6295 only saw 21 movements it is basic and makes hands faster and precise used by tension akido users

@@nikosskeptikos6295 the number does not matter each it is it just the hand coordination that develops o sense used it segal uses it very effective

100%

you're welcome

mine too - especially the ura variant, cut that short and drop to one knee and it's deadly

yeah it takes a lot of think to happen inb the right order to pull it off

Feb 4-7th next big one, plague allowing of course!

Yes that's the most commonly seen version.

I think this was meant more as an exercise than a "technique" per se - merely a way for people t explore connection without force perhaps?

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE nope this is actually technique. It could be Ueshiba's high level technique I think.

I think to make it practical you'd have to apply a bit of an elbow lock to "encourage" uke past lol

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE not at all. Pushing elbow against natural arm bend isn't effective.

Applying an element of hiji in something like this is often the back up I find if the partner compresses or is non compliant, hence why I refer to this kind of thing as a demonstration of principle as opposed to a practical applied technique

Good spot, yes I think you're correct

Could you explain that better please? it doesnt make sense. Thanks

Absolutely

Not really, it's more to show how the biomechanics work, but the PRINCIPLE is def applicable. Cut that movement short and drop to one knee and it's deadly

I say in the intro this isnt martial but the way this connects to someone is def useful, even on the ground.

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE any examples to showcase this? Thanks for your replies!

Yes; but you would need to understand the principle being explored here. Study that and you'll find where it applies. There is a similar principle in jiu jutsu of relaxing and allowing the opponent to do the work while you wait until he gives you opportunity. This is perhaps similar in that you 'go under' or 'inside' the opponent's movements and energy; it's victory by yielding and absorbing. Let the arrow break itself on the rock behind you. There is no need to break the arrow yourself.

I like that analogy

..et c'est pourquoi ce nage Shiho est rarement vu, car il est très difficile à exécuter de manière cohérente. Cependant, il fonctionne et s'il est appliqué fortement, il ajoute presque un élément de hijishime au coude pendant le virage. Une application plus martiale serait de se mettre à genoux tout en appliquant la technique. merci d'avoir répondu, j'apprécie votre commentaire

yeah thats a great example of mechanics but under pressure testing tends to just cause pain or almost break something lol

so you either didnt watch the entire clip or you completely missed the point of the video lol?

I don't think the side of the grab is really what Tony was talking about here, it's more about the ability to shift ones weight into the feet to allow the line of force to transfer around the centreline.
