Title: Meaning of "Aiki"
Post by: IroNat on June 22, 2024, 06:05:29 AM

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiki_(martial_arts_principle)

Aiki, a Japanese budō term, at its most basic is a principle that allows a conditioned practitioner to negate or redirect an opponent's power. When applied, the aiki practitioner controls the actions of the attacker with minimal effort and with a distinct absence of muscular tension usually associated with physical effort.

Tohei sensei has a strong emphasis on Kokyunage or breathing throws.
Not my cup of tea, i trained in Iwama ryu & Tendo Ryu,  Tendo ryu i like as Shimizu Sensei was a Judoka & has many hip throws.
