A study of Yamada sensei part 3.

 

 

Yamada sensei uses hand and wrist movements known as te-sabaki. These movements are not only done in isolation but rather powered and connected to the hara. Hip rotation and hand movements are an expression of whole body power and connection to the hip joints, and when standing, the feet are essential. In the next clip Yamada sensei can be seen to use te-sabaki skills to perform nikkyo. From 03:15 ...

 

 

 

In Daito ryu aikijitsu hand and wrist movements are frequently used and called aiki age and aiki sage. A good time to study these often forgotten hand movements.

 

 

 

Enjoy practice.
