Randori-no-kata or Ju-nan-hon (Basic 17 Techniques) of the Tomiki Aikido system of Aikido - Preformed by Audrey Kelly, 1st Kyu and Andrew Fielder, 1st Dan - London Aikido Dojo
@superesonator Thank god you didn't have my dad teaching you, he believed that scaring the crap out of me by blowing a blow horn would prepare me... Nothing happen but I was scared shitless...
Kata is about fundamental principles:There is little evidence of correct application of principles (sound kamae, maintaining unbendable arm during technique, energy projecting forwards, zanshin throughout, I could go on...) Just because it is a kata that doesn't mean it shouldn't work. If Uke just stood and 'was' rather than falling over at the touch of a feather the tori would learn a lot about her technique - namely that it won't often work. Sorry but them's the facts...
I do Daito Ryu Aiki JuJitsu which is almost identical to this our randori no kata the uke puts more pressurs on the tori to see what he or she has truely learned plus the finishes the tori has head up not looking at their hand position
what you are seeing here are basic ideas, this kata is a means of teaching, the free style technique is quite different while still retaining the idea of the original, practical application of aikido is quite different from what u see here, think about it.

Very interesting Ashi Sabaki, never seen it this way before, Not much use of the 45 degree angles, but still extremely effective. I like it.

By falling the right way uke helps you to discover the most effective angle.

It gave me a false sense of security in my driving abilities."

@itachi123100 This is a formal demonstration, not the actual application.
