I know there will be those of you that say Aikido is fake. It occured to me that in order for those that practice it, it has to look this way. If the student does not "roll" with the defenese they will have broken wrist. Last, look at the defender. He is at peace with the situation. There is no stance. No other style is like this. I do not study Aikido, but would if there were a dojo here. I took karate as a boy, but the instructor lost intrest after a few months.
I wan't to learn here but I live in Howick :[

Fantastic video David and what a beautiful dojo !
I haven't been training for a few years now, largely due to travel, but will make a bee-line for your dojo upon my return to NZ.
Best wishes Paul Radcliffe (former aikidoka with you at One Tree Hill and Grey Lynn).
