Triangle, circle, square.
Fujita sensei used his signature drawing on the back of your gi at seminars. It consists of three figures namely the triangle, the circle and the square.
My own ideas concerning these symbols in relation with the Aikido of Fujita sensei would be the following:
The triangle stands for hanmi kamae. The posture represents the most stable position and has a strong focus of energy in front of your hara. This could be compared to the offensive stance in the sword arts of Japan. So in your Aikido one should be aware of always maintaining this stance even when moving.
The circle represents the round posture of the arms and circular movement.
The square stands for the finishing of a technique which should be solid and hips square. Katame waza could also be named square and firm.
In the following demo the three principles are easily recognized.
Enjoy practice.
