Kuzushi: Principles and Exercises for Static and Dynamic Offbalancing (Updated)

[@afiqsince86]

i think you have the best aikido concept video so far on youtube.

[@WadoRyuBenkyo]

Very nice video and explanation of this fundamental principle of the martial arts. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you.

[@tiyowprasetyo]

This is essential to be applied by any kinds of martial artists. I do hope mixed martial artists can learn something important from this video: kuzushi.

[@tavana123]

[@ahafeel]

This is a useful way to analyse aikido waza. I would also use the analogy of a sword being wielded by the nage. So the nage's arm acts similar to a swordsman's motion. We can discuss this further

[@AikidoChuseikan]

Precisely - or a spear (for linear attacks). Similarly, Nage can view their own footwork and connection as through a sword or spear.

Is ukes arm the direction of the arrow?

[@AikidoChuseikan]

For the diagram, usually, yes. Especially for linear attacks (to simplify the concept).

Kuzuki Kiko Tajiri sense fujama in the street small and big

[@heinrichwendel5129]

the old problem : it works only on people , who practise this stance and this bodywork. Other stance - other body work -does not work,

[@AikidoChuseikan]

Of course. As shown, this is all static, or relatively static. That's why it's basics / principles; to get student's mental gears turning and exploring, and moving away from muscle-v-muscle struggling. It's up to each martial artist to then figure out how to find smaller slivers of kuzushi as the opponent moves faster, responds / recovers immediately, changes footwork - or, even harder - doesn't use committed linear attacks.

.002 of a second is how long he would last against a MMA fighter. Sorry sir.
