Taking Your Aikido to the Next Level: Seeing the Big Picture in Standing Techniques
In this in-depth video from my recent 5-Day Summer Camp at my Los Angeles dojo, we continue working on suwari waza shomen uchi ikkyo but transition to a standing position. The focus of this session is learning how to shift your perspective from fixating on the contact point to understanding the full flow of movement. We incorporate the use of a shoto to help visualize and feel the larger movements, preventing the temptation to push and letting technique, not strength, guide your practice. This video offers valuable insights for practitioners looking to refine their techniques and see beyond the immediate contact point, leading to a deeper, more intuitive understanding of Aikido.
