  • HI Dunken and thank you

    I practice with the Ki Federation under Sensei Williams.

    I have read you book beginners Aikido and found it really useful.

    Keep up the good work

    SD

  • @haveagoodweek

    Thanks for the kind words. I only met Williams sensei once back in the early 70's when I was a kid, but as a lifelong student of Foster sensei I am of course aware of his reputation.

  • HI Aiki33

    This movement is in second form. Is this correct?

  • @haveagoodweek Yes - in our system 2nd form, or gyaku hamni which basically means "opposite stance".

    

  • at 0:23 the uke has his hand open.

    what if he has a fist, then kotegaeshi will be impossible right?

    i always have that problem

  • Depends on how strong the fist is. Most people will not keep a 'solid' fist and wrist once their balance has been taken. If they do, then you simply change to a more appropriate technique, for example just taking the balance, would suffice.

  • @GamerX7800X If your opponent has a close fist you just grip their wrist with one hand and push down on there closed fist with the other Kotegaeishi actually works even better the tighter they are clenching their fist. We are taught to fold the hand over with the whole hand. Only using thumbs on the back of the hand is weak. Always keep it in your center. Imagine if they had a knife it would be hard to get thumbs on the back of the hand.

  • no, follow the Kobayashi method against a fist. it works brilliantly

  • i guess if he have a fist, the kaitenage-technique would be more useful... aikido is a very flexible martial art and they have many different, but similar techniques...

    you should never use force or strength by doing those techniques... if you see the technique wont work, change your technique and not your power...
