Attack centerline or spine.
The last post on the study of Fujita sensei deals with a principle which is crucial to all Aikido practice but is often neglected. To create Aiki or harmonious interaction a connection is to be made. The best way to achieve this would be to "attack the center". This doesn't mean to aggressively hit or push towards the center of your partner but to extend your body through your arms towards this centerline. This will always create a connection which can be used to become essentially one body. Therefore where you move, your partner will move also.
Fujita sensei can be studied on video and his "attack" towards the spine will be obvious. Preferably the spine will be attacked from the rear side of uke. There are no weapons of attack for your partner and is therefore easily controlled.
The next clip is a long one(two hours) to conclude this study for now. Thanks Aikido Moldova for the upload.
Next blogposts will contain different subjects concerning Aikido and internal martial arts.
Enjoy practice.
