I really resonate with your very clear (and I guess more "physically-oriented") way of thinking about this material, EXPLAINING IT, and demonstrating the physical principles that make Aikido work (not just showing certain inherited styles or techniques).

Thank you,Yoshihito!

Great to see you you back! Can you recommend any clubs in London, UK? Also how is gravity doing that effect - I've seen some Japanese martial artists do this and they explain it as the psoas muscle - are you maybe using that, too?

Organized body! Brilliant!

Beautiful work. Thanks for demonstrating both down and up. Many variations possible too, soto, uchi.... This, what I call "old man aikido," I'm noticing more and more. Seen similar approaches from Endo Sensei and Okamoto Sensei. To get to body integration, I believe, most effectively requires an emptiness of muscular strength and that's the biggest difficulty. It helps me to think of it as extension through the fingertips and beyond, sometimes. Always keeping that connection between the tanden and the yubisaki, fingertips. (Silk reeling exercises...)

Excelente, muito obrigado pelo vídeo.

STOP IT. REALLY RESIST.
