Very nice inspiration to practice a basic technique in a slightly different way. Thank you!

I like the wave movement of the uke. You are right that people tend to stop in the attack. Moving forward is difficult because it needs for you to be relaxed in the attack and not rigid. People forget to study ukemi (not the fancy high falls but just the ukemi they use 90% of the time..). Teachers forget to teach ukemi because the are busy with the nage/tori part. I always say: you are as good as your uke is. SO we better be good ukes! (again: I do not mean the fancy highfall, I am not interested in that because many ukes make excecuting technique so easy for nage because they take the fall instead of being thrown). Well, just my two cents!

Glad you liked the video, Arjan. You’re right. People often neglect, studying ukemi. And teachers neglect, teaching it sometimes because they’re busy with nage/tori part and sometimes because they themselves were never really taught good ukemi. Sadly, most people these days confuse good ukemi with acrobatics. The two are completely different.

@@liasuzukisvirtualdojo6240 at this moment I study the ukemi very much. I have always taken ukemi to seek for the center but to be cooperative with nage. try to figer out what nage needs or wants. In that way Aikido becomes more and more a martial art you do together were words as connectivity and sensitivity are keyword. Winning or losing needs to be banned out of Aikido. Even the mindset where uke is only busy with "where can I take over.." must be banned or a specific assignment for example kaeshi waza. AIkido is so interesting!

@@arjandevries-imajukuaikido exactly. I teach kaeshi waza maybe once or twice per year. And even then it’s presented either from the perspective of keeping connection, and the fact that there’s no separation or difference between uke and tori OR to show the thinking behind various ukemi, for example, iriminage, ukemi, where uke circles around tori.

All one movement keeping back strait interesting. Do you not receive by movin off line tori ? thanks sensei
@liasuzukisvirtualdojo62409 ай бұрын
Yeah, I guess you could say that moving off the line helps to receive the attack. Did I understand your question correctly?
