How to use the second hip and what does it mean. Yamashima sensei is known for his use of his hara. In reality he uses both his hip joints to full effect. In the next clip this is shown by using your rear hand and hip in unison to attack the centerline of your partner. So imagine your holding a sword or knife and point this to the hara of your partner. This creates a center to center movement which can be used to upset your uke's balance. Ikkyo is best suited to study your second hip joint, but it's used in all Aikido movements. Hips, hips, hips. Don't use arms, use hips.
Enjoy practice.
