Gleason sensei is an American Aikido instructor ranked 7th dan. His main teacher would be Yamaguchi sensei, which shows in his approach concerning Aikido and sword like movements. What I like about his style of Aikido would be a that it appears a feeling sensitivity based learning environment. Also added are the theories behind the movements. One's techniques are empowered by this way of teaching and learning. In recent years he also studied with Dan Harden and those principles are recognizable in his recent clips on YouTube from Aikido Sydney.
In the next clip a lot of things can be learned. He explains spiral movement and it's components. Here the six directions theorie, expanding the fascia of the whole body, can be observed. Aikido movements and experience combined with insights from other fields of interest is the way I like to study body movements and feeling sensitivity in my Aikido practice.
Enjoy practice.
Technique based training is low level, principles based are medium level and high level would be knowing, using and feeling one's fascial body tissue to create Aiki.
Thoughts?
