such odd footwork

[Yojimbo416]

@Yojimbo416 this style of akido seems more judo based never been taught to lunge or push myself around always been taught to step forward with my center in harmonic balance gentally

[michellesaikidolife]

HELP! I am struggling with "four corners. Reishi, Reishii tin con , tin con and good God I forgot the last one but I have to get this!! I can do them separately but then I face the wrong way and I forget to stay in a straight line. WORST session I've ever done to date.

[wmsom]

An absolutely ouststanding video! I recently began studying Fugakukai - KiHara Method. As I have been being taught Aruki within the method, based on my background in martial arts, I felt strongly within myself that something was "missing" or "lacking". I watched your video, and it filled in the blanks! Sadly, I dont think all Tomiki style instructors comprehend or even know what you explain/detail in this video. You should really make a DVD and market it!

Your way of moving is quite similar to Wing Chun.

now slide both feet and you can do the moonwalk

Great video. My father was a student of Tomiki in Japan back in 1969. He was in the Air Force and received his black belt from Tomiki. He has told me lots of great stories. Again great video.

I REALLY need to work on my foot work then. I used to do it perfectly when I was 5 years old, but then Mrs. Emery messed up my walking style. She taught me to lift up my feet when moving. Mrs. Emery was my Elementry School teacher. NOW I GOTTA UN-LEARN IT!!! LMAO

[kwekhc007]

In fact lifting ur feet off the ground is on etiquette... But for soles bones....Its not good for u in long run

[Yojimbo416]

@UndertakersFans for your foot work i advise you to sit in the kungfu horsestance for as long as you can

[madmoravian]

Interesting.

A slightly different approach to teaching the movement. We teach that you need to move your center first in the direction you want to go as opposed to pushing with the quad of the appropriate leg.

[dbaikidoboi]

this is a good demo. Shows how important communication is, thanks dude

[ReiMonCoH]

Good explanaton. I see Many Many Details that Merrit Stevens taught..I wish you would have shown the entire Kata. I'd be interested to know if there is any one (other then students from Mike Pabst school) left that stiil does the walks the old way. The first three ashi waza are the same.....maybe you could make a vid of the whole thing..??

[mitsourugi]

great and detailed explanation, adn a great review for us as th e style we do is also heavily influenced by Judo, greetings from Yoseikan Aikido South America

[tomikikai]

Well explained, students practice unsoku and tandoku undo on a daily basis and you foot work and centre will improve no end.

[waif69]

Good explanation, thanks for providing increased clarity.

[JiggyHo]

too much talk

[nolispe]

Yay for the walks, I still keep up on them every day, even if I can't do anything else. I get comments in fencing asking me where I learned my foot work from... this stuff works!
