Armswing.
What does Fujita sensei mean by using the Armswing?
When walking, the arms of every human being make the same movement. It's a natural movement in which the arms swing like a pendulum. Both uke and nage will move in their most natural and effortless way when this swinging motion is to be used. Fujita sensei uses this knowledge to full effect. The arms are held in the structural strongest posture. Relaxed, not stiff, not weak and circular. The whole body power is therefore expressed through the arms and hands. Uke will naturally be unable to resist his own natural movement.
This clip shows the principle of the armswing combined with whole body movement.
Enjoy practice.
