On the 28th and 29th of October 2023, I was in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, to give a seminar. The event was organized by Rio Aiki, a group formed by my students from the State of Rio de Janeiro. This video shows some explanations and observations during the event.
Dai Gokyo is an Aikido technique, but it is also found, in similar forms, in other martial arts. It is a basic technique, although little practiced, that teaches some fundamentals to explore when disarming weapons.
