Yoshinkan Aikido Kihon dosa

[theElrin]

This "stance" like a lot of arts is a practice form or exaggeration. In an actual scenario trust me it isn't so obvious. 2 good luck with that sweep. You know nothing of the arts to comment like that. I could shoot him from 900 yards. What dies that say to my understanding of a hand to hand combat arts jackass.

The foot pointing outwards along with the arm positioning, frames the body into a protective prism, covering the center line, shielding the organs, guarding some pressure and vital points. That is the nature of Yoshinkan's unique kamae. and yes, it is unnatural, and not very confortable for turning, as some karate & kung fu postures seem to be. however, it is more a matter of adaptation. great video, thanks for posting! greetings from Yoseikan Aikido Southamerica.

Kihon Dosa is one of the most important training in Yoshinkan as it will train you in doing proper Tai Sabaki. I am currently with Birankan Aikido but most of my friends are in Yoshinkan. I have a lot of respect to the late Gozo Shioda shihan the founder of Yoshinkan.

Very graceful movements. I hope one day I can have technique like that. Awesome video.

I think this is Ando Sensei

fucking robots

[wujinsith]

what advantage does turning your foot out in your kamae? isn't it un'natural?

[Druneg]

this kind of kamae is totaly unnatural

[1defaye]

what is unnatural for your body in some cases makes you stronger. a good example of this is posture. if you stand straight, you may have lordosis and kyphosis to differing degrees of intensity. it is a natural way to hold the body but it is not strong or healthy. in the same way aikidou youshinkan focuses of strengthening weaker natural movements to forge the robotic intensity it looks like so commonly noted by the more proletariat commentors.

[paulbuzu]

@wujinsith These are the basic movements, rather like Kata in Karate, refining and mastering these techniques is important in refining your Aikido.

[wujinsith]

@paulbuzu , Thanx for the cookie cutter response. I believe I asked a valid question, my first martial art was Yoshinkan Aikido for 5 yrs. 25yrs later I've trained in Iaido, jujutsu, ninjutsu, judo, & Brazilian jujutsu ( wich has it's roots in Takagi Ryu), & have never seen Tai sabaki done with the foot pointing out in any other Nihon Bugei.

[paulbuzu]

@wujinsith I am not familiar with the expression "cookie cutter", Just in case my response may have been interpreted I meant no offence or ridicule in my reply. I say this as I say I am not familiar with the expression. :)

[RKSloth]

@paulbuzu - Cookie Cutter responses are pretty much interpreted as copy/paste responses, where the answers are generic and without much forethought and are posted as a standard action.

@wujinsith - It is definitely a somewhat un-natural way of standing and it can twist the muscles round your knee (as I'm currently finding out). The main reason I see is that it strengthens the posture against being pushed over many other styles :).

[asbojesus]

@wujinsith I have been told that the advantage of this position in the Kamae is with performing sword cuts while in a formation, essentially it prevents you from over-extending a cut and accidentally slicing off the leg of the guy standing beside you. Just something left over from olden times. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the history on Yoshinkan Aikido. I am currently studying aikido under Mitsugi Soatome Shihan (post-war aikido) and never thought of the differences in the way you described. In my days as a karateka I once saw Shioda Sensei on a video and was inspired to seek this art. Thanks again for sharing this video.

[metanolo]

Interesting!

[fumanchudude]

Looks like two constipated robots dancing. The way they stick their leg all the way out is bad. They are inviting an easy single leg takedown.

[1defaye]

it is used to either turn head on towards a new opponent or to take the balance of someone already attached to the practitioner. when you think of a robot, you think it is a strong structure? so i think you unwittingly compliment ando sensei. you really don't understand.
