Tonight, Genryukan played host to Paul Smith from Mushin no shin Aikido in Cheriton.
Paul took the class through various applications of aikido locks and controls.
Gokkyo
Sankyo
Nikkyo
Yonkyo
The emphasis was on moving uke as a single unit, and the lack of need for pain compliance.
The session was great fun and I think thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Our thanks go to Paul for taking the class.
Tandoku Undo means “Individual practise”. In Tomiki/Shodokan aikido this commonly refers to Unsoku (foot movements) and Tegatana Dosa (Hand blade exercises).
At last night’s training, I was asked for some Youtube videos that would be a good reference. After sifting out some poor videos (with mistakes made such as keeping the heel off the ground), I settled on these two videos as good examples.
Unsoku (Sean Flynn)
Tegatana Dosa (Scott Allbright)
