That's interesting. Note that in each of the omote techniques he first does a variation where he cuts down before doing the step, then one where he does the step while cutting down. I heard a rumor that there is discussion in Hombu which of those two possibilities is the better one. Does anyone know any backgrounds on this?
Interesting observation. I don't know anything about the discussion at hombu, but I may simply describe how I practice these cutting movements in my personal training. Since I'm training in Koryu besides Aikido, for me the cutting movents in taijutsu are the same as in kenjutsu. This means neither cut first and then step afterwards, nor do both simultaneously. Instead I start with the cut and step in once I've reached the most extentented point of the cut, thus following through with the step while "pulling in". I hope this description isn't rather cryptic.
@@ferbwhatup6348 That totally makes sense, thank you. I have tried and trained both variations in the last few months to figure out what I prefer, and basically came to a similar conclusion that a combination of both is the most efficient in many cases.
In the below video, Osawa sensei said it deepends on the distance. Unfortunatly, the sound was very bad so I am not sure what did he say. I guess he said that step in and push uke back when uke is close and fast, cut down first then step in when you have more space/time. ruclips.net/video/27SOoDImFwg/видео.html

He does the right way... as the last masters did. Since a few years ago some Shihans do the other form, a mistake in my opinion.
なんで合気会ってのは受けはやられる前提なのかね。
Ok
