5th Kyu Test Requirements (USAF) Part 3

Yoshimitsu Yamada, a direct student of O Sensei for more than ten years, is an 8th dan and the chief instructor at the New York Aikikai. Currently, he is Chairman of the Board of the United States Aikido Federation and the Latin America Aikido Federation. He is the author of Aikido Complete and has made multiple aikido training tapes.
Yamada Sensei is well known for his clear and strong basic technique. He teaches seminars all over the world where thousands of students attend his classes.
Quote:
"We must keep the spirit of budo no matter how we practice."
Q: You were one of the earlier uchideshi at the Aikikai. What year did you start?
A: When I joined as an uchideshi only Tamura Sensei and Arikawa Sensei were there. Yasuo Kobayashi was still in college. He came to the dojo every day. I entered when I was 17. I am 53 now, so it must have been 1955.

Hmmm, I would be very careful doing the techniques as shown for a 5th Kyu test. It's fairly normal for the uke used for testing to be around the same level (or slightly above) that of tori. It's quite unlikely that uke would have the high ukemi worked out enough to avoid injury with some of these techniques done as demonstrated here. Irimi nage in particular, can lead to twisting falls that are quite dangerous if tori overestimates uke.

[@Aprinsa]

Hmm, at my dojo, we do kokyunage sitting down, and we don't even do that last technique on the test...
