Aiki-waza class 3

This is the third Aiki-waza tutorial video. In this video, Mori Sensei teaches 1) gathering the centre line strength from the back toe through the body to the connection where his uke grabs, 2) tucking uke's force into his body to make the connection stronger, 3) binding the centre line power gathered from the lower body part (from the 1st action) and the strength tucked in from uke's arm (from the 2nd action). You will see that when Kaido tries the same technique he uses only the second action and there is no centre line strength coming from his lower part of the body, thus not working. Well, you can try and see. Good luck! Aiki-waza is the ultimate level/goal where Aikido practitioners should reach after many years of diligent training. Not only masters can reach but anyone can achieve who trains hard continuously for years. Please understand that Aiki-waza is not something magical but it is purely physical.
