Today point no.5 from the list.
Don't push, don't pull.
Natural movement consists of moving the body or body parts in a manner that requires no more effort than needed. Therefore when in contact with your partner Fujita stresses the principle to not push or pull when performing basic technique. To not use " awkward" strenght is difficult to do when faced with a stressfull situation. So don't try to force the technique but rather stick to basic principles to create a movement based on harmony.
In the next clip Fujita sensei can be seen to explain not to use a pushing or pulling action. There are different ways to deal with forces interacting with your structural alignment. So use your hanmi kamae and don't push or pull. Aikido can be more subtle than resorting to muscle power alone.
Enjoy practice.
