See the Big Picture in Aikido: Enhancing Shomen Uchi Ikkyo with Shoto for Deeper Awareness

In this blog post, we delve into an advanced Aikido concept explored at my 5-Day Summer Camp. By shifting focus from the contact point to the bigger picture, we enhance our training and deepen our awareness of our partner’s movements. This video shows how employing a shoto to uke's base during suwari waza shomen uchi ikkyo creates a more comprehensive understanding of both technique and partner awareness. Plus, there’s a special announcement at the end of the video!
