Intriguing...

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Yeah these kinds of traditional drills are fun to play with, and i've seen a bunch of variants of these using different parts of the body almost in isolation, but they are almost a drill to help you understand another drill which then teaches an underlying concept, if you see what i mean?

I was uke for tohei sensei in Japan in this exercise, incredible power, whiplash , still feeling it.

[@CarlaCasteneda]

i remember seeing an old clip of kohei sensei doing the exact same demonstration!

Cool ta

[@Clarity2020Australia]

wasnt that also called 'aiki age" or something too?

[@aikidomusubiryu3837]

It was called 'fune kogi or boat rowing exercise, referring to how you need to move when pushing a boat forward with a single oar out the back.

[@gratefulape12]

It's not anything to do with aiki age.

Kinteic chaining is a fundamental principle of effective movement. An interesting demonstration

You kinda need to feel this, Clyde probably only weighs around 65kg max, but the small 'wave through the body' is really efficient at creating leverage.
