Yamashima sensei using boken.

Yamashima sensei can sometimes be seen using the boken to explain Aikido movements. This is a teaching style which try to use from time to time and always results in a better understanding of movement. In the next clip he's seen to use it in a version of uchi kaiten nage. Notice tori doesn't move as much as uke and the subtle use of hand and arm turning in coordination with the hara. As always Yamashima also uses unbalancing techniques which are a result of his contact with uke.

 

Enjoy practice.
