Kubishime - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Kubishime
David Ito Sensei, Aikido 5th Dan explains the kubishime (首締め) attack or “a choke and grab from behind.” People often think that kubishime is a choke. However, if we look at its origins, it is an arresting technique designed to restrain a samurai or a person wearing a sword from drawing it. Traditionally, kubishime was a left hand grab and right hand choke. Nowadays, we don’t wear swords on our left hip and so we change sides for training purposes. Kubishime teaches us to have good posture with a grounded stance, calmness under pressure and the ability to do several different things simultaneously.

Sensei votre travail est très efficace je pratique l aikdo depuis 1987 je suis 4e dan je suis âgée de 68 ans je souhaite venir passer mon grade de 5e dan ouhab salah Alger merci

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Thank you for watching. Where do you practice Aikido?

[@user-hv3tk8mp2s]

I would like to see a video on initiating the attack using Aikido. Surely, there are times when it is better to act first. Or do you see things differently?

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Hmm. Thanks would love to do one but that is a big topic for a 2 minute video. Got a specific technique? If so, I can do one on that.

[@bigsidable]

Atemi strike to initiate contact. Can be any strike. To lure your attacker to your advantage. Although in the Spirit of Non Violence why attack. If your not attacked yet. I studied more attack first arts. Which is opposite of Aikido Philosophy.

Two techniques looks old however most moves are modern.
