Shomenuchi Ura - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Shomenuchi Ura
Ken Watanabe Sensei, Aikido 6th Dan, Iaido 5th Dan discusses shomenuchi ura (正面打ち裏) or “moving behind when someone strikes you.” Shomenuchi is an overhead or straight strike to the head or face. Shomenuchi is based on the overhead cut of a sword. Thus, one cannot retreat or move away from the strike or attempt to block it. Aikidoists move forward into the strike and we call this irimi. One can move in front of the attacker or “omote” but also behind them or “ura.” In this video, we are covering ura or “Moving behind or to the rear of the attacker.”

I have a test to be a 6th kyu, I like the way omote is being taught.

[@michealgarcia2170]

And also ura as well.

Thank you for sharing and please address my question. Why teacher on this video moves around opponent but it should be exactly opposite?

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Vano. Thank you for watching our videos. I don't really understand your question. Do you mean that most other times you are moving in Omote in reference to shomenuchi? If so this video is about the techniques one might do when moving in ura. Please let me know what you mean if I have not answered your question.

@@AikidoCenterLA I was talking about center of rotation between two. Noticed that a lot of people allow center of rotation be in the middle of of two or even on opponent. Still don't know where it comes from.

@@vano-559 Thank you. We were taught to bring the uke into our movement. Furuya Sensei never really addressed to me about the center of rotation. From a biomechanics point of view the rotation as to be in the center between the two people as they are two different bodies moving in space. Another way you can look at is that you and the uke are in a mutual rotation as both are trying to move around one another in this symbiotic yin/yang thing, but that is deeper than I can think. Hope that answered your question. Where do you train in Aikido?
