WATCH: Katadori Grounding & Expansion Exercise, Part 1

Do you sometimes feel overpowered when executing techniques from katadori?

Today’s video is from our New Year’s seminar in Los Angeles just a few weeks ago. In this video, we work on grounding and expansion exercises from katadori. The idea is to stay grounded while overextending uke by expanding. Eventually, we move into nikkyo, both from a sitting and standing position.

And I’m happy to report that we were able to get really great video and audio quality at this seminar.

I hope today’s video will give you some insight, inspiration, and motivation to help you realize your Aikido goals in the new year.

Check it out.
