Point number six from my list concerning Fujita Sensei.
Round is the shape of the arms when doing kihon waza. Not to much bend, not to straight but in between. The shape of the arms looks al lot like a chi kung posture which is used extensively in various Chinese internal martial arts and Chi kung training. This posture is known under a lot of names. Hugging a tree, holding the ball or standing post. Zhan zhuang is the name used in Chinese chi kung training. This posture contains a lot of secrets used in the internal martial arts and is an excellent exercise to supplement Aikido training. I will use this posture for an article to be written in the nearby future.
In my view Fujita sensei uses this posture in movement. Through these arm movements he's able to use his structure and develop whole body power.
Enjoy practice.
