If you try to move like this on concrete, you'll hurt yourself. So why practice it on the mat if you'll never use it in the real world? How does this help you defend yourself in real situations?
Thanks for your question John. shikko or knee-walking is a ‘traditional’ aspect of Aikido that is used to move around the dojo when receiving certification or some other commendation from the Sensei if they are kneeling. It would be disrespectful to stand and walk towards them with your head above theirs. This is simply a matter of etiquette for a ‘traditional’ Japanese martial art. As an ‘exercise’ or ‘drill’ it develops explosive hip power and movement from the Tanden (center) rather than the knees or the upper body, it looks easy but is deceptively difficult to master. In answer to practical use on the ‘tar’ I agree with you it would destroy your knees but I don’t recall expressing in this short video about it being a practical technique other than it being meant as a review for my beginner students to have a look at. On the other hand, this technique has been used by the Japanese Kidotai to enter a house through a door at low level to avoid gunmen successfully. so, hopefully that answers your questions and if you have any more don’t hesitate to message me or I am happy to talk face to face providing your in and around Kyoto. Does that help?
@@whiteroseaikikaikyotodojo-5497 Your response is extremely helpful. Thank you so much... I have a ton of more questions about Aikido, but I don't want to be too much of a pest. So feel free to stop replying and I'll understand... But my next question is: When I take Aikido classes, how am I supposed to know the difference between what is just tradition, and what should actually be used in a real fight?
@@johnvem949 no worries…when you join a dojo you need to ask the Sensei what they teach -a traditional or practical style or both. If they are a good teacher they will always explain the difference. For example, when I teach a technique we start with the traditional form, then we move to a more active form, then shortening the fighting distance (what my Sensei would call phone box Aïkïdo), from there we might look at how to apply the technique from a more practical attack, even multiple attacks or within a constricted environment, say up against a wall or in a corner. The initial emphasis is the traditional form to both preserve the tradition (but not get stuck in it) and to understand the basic principles of Aïkïdo and from there you can go anywhere with the technique. If you have more questions please ask and I will get back to you when I have time to do so. Thanks for the comment.
Nice, bit deferent with what we used to do. The first kaiten sabaki usually we called it tenkan and kaiten is the second tenkan, the one with Ayumi ashi then tenkan, also the irimi tenkan we called it irimi kaiten :)
Thanks for the comment Muh, I live in Kyoto Japan and even the Japanese get confused with the terminology - Irimi/tenkan or omote/Ura waza for example. Like English there are many different ways to express movement in Japanese. I guess it depends on what Association you follow and their standard. Anyways thanks for the comment. 👍🏻
@@whiteroseaikikaikyotodojo-5497 basic movements connect everything else, all power comes from the connection to the ground, solid kamai is often undervalued. The sacred art of Aikido and it's dedicated practicioners are special so thank you for this upload much respect for Sensei Pryce(less) 🤩
Thanks for your comment Douglas. As I pointed out in another question/comment, there are many different types of Ashi and Tai Sabaki. These are the very basic and simplest for students to start with a review. It was not intended as a compendium of all movements possible. Also, maybe I don’t want to make that extra turn because it doesn’t suit the technique or the context. Something to consider.
Hi Oscar, kamae is a guard/ready posture where all basic Aikido starts from. Irimi simply means to enter, so from Kamae the body move forward. Hope this helps.
Tomas Plibersek Thanks for the comment. There are many different types of Ashi Sabaki and too numerous to include here. This was just a basic video for my students to be able to practice the main 4 movements of entering and turning. 👍🏻
Unfortunately neither is your English…’Tai Plumber’? i think you will find that if you study Aikido in Japan there are many different ways to name and do techniques depending on the dojo and style.But, thank you for your helpful comment.

Take a small step with the front foot, right outward, and then turn with the back foot
I love aïkido...

I wish my father would of thought me some more aikido when I was younger.
I wish people would demonstrate shikko w/o the hakama
I agree that would have been more clearer. Thanks for the suggestion.
The half circle 190° turn the sleep of the rear leg after the fourth step now you'll be in the same position as your point at behind him

The haka ma does not help the student to observe how the moves must be executed ...
Thanks for the comment, I agree and will take on board your suggestion.
amazing!!!
What's the difference between Kamae and Irimi?
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre Kamae e Irimi?
Hi Oscar, kamae is a guard/ready posture where all basic Aikido starts from. Irimi simply means to enter, so from Kamae the body move forward. Hope this helps.
Yes thank you very much.
What about tenchi? Front step backwards.

Soy cubano es importante los desplazamientos en el Akido. Como.elementos bssicos.
I have a plan! :o
domo sensei
Tenkan is not understandable or correct it is Tai plumber
Unfortunately neither is your English…’Tai Plumber’? i think you will find that if you study Aikido in Japan there are many different ways to name and do techniques depending on the dojo and style.But, thank you for your helpful comment.
Tsugi Ashi Tenkan
Thank you for your comment but I think you will find in Japanese ‘Tsugi’ means soon and ‘Tsuri’ means slide.
