Baggy pants, Japanese "hakama" (?) they do make movement harder. By so training, movement in real confrontations is enhanced. Alexeev used to clean a barbell submerged in water, & used 10 kilo discs, to lengthen the distance of the pull. So that when using regular diameter 20, 25 & 50kg discs, pull was shorter, but enhanced due to the harder training. A very solid concept applicable in many sports training pursuits. Rope climbers use extra weight, to go faster with only their own weight.
How atrange? My post saying what terrible aikido this was has miraculously disappeared! Anyone watching the above, plese do not value Aikido by what you see here.
This was filmed by Michael Mann during his blue period.
