Posture, taisabaki, technique.
The study and practice of Aikido is often "technique" oriented. This means that the sensei is showing a technique concerning an attack which has been agreed upon. The students try their best to emulate or imitate this technique with their partner. The technique is the starting point of their movement. One works towards the goal which is the described technique. This is a top-down learning method.
Fujita sensei stresses the importance of the basics in his kihon waza. First your posture has to be correct. Then one has to learn to move this posture in a natural way. The end result will be an Aikido technique. Therefore the sentence "posture, taisabaki, technique" contains the training method of sticking to the basics at all time. When one attempts a technique with bad posture and movement it will never be natural and harmonious practice.
The next clip Fujita sensei emphasizes posture. The starting point of all things concerning Aikido.
Enjoy practice.
