Hiroshi Ikeda: Foundation.

Ikeda sensei uses small spiral movements of his hips expressed by his hands. The "building" of this body and it's use he calls the foundation. In my view aikido's practice is not to move the partner but let the partner be moved by your own body structure which is balanced, responsive and sensitive. Enjoy this next clip in which he explains training the foundation and the need for different uke's.

 

Enjoy practice.
