I watch this video every once in a while and each time feel a complex combination of reinvigoration and melancholy towards my training. I never knew Kanai Sensei, but he was my teacher's teacher so I cannot help but feel some sort of connection to him.
This is kanai sensei an uchi desi of o sensei he passed away in toronto in 2003.Before he did aikido he studied judo so he really liked hip throws and aikido has thousands of hipthrows too
what I noticed with his techniques in his Koshinages(with high respect) is that he uses his back and shoulders more often rather than use his hips, that is why it is called koshi(hip) and nage(throw). The result is more shown that we should use the hips is 2:00 to 2:01, he was unbalanced there I think. But whoa this Sensei rocks alot!
@ravisdb no I did not. Woburn Aikido and now DC

The nage is Mitsunari Kanai Shihan as a young man (in 1962) before coming to the United States.
