Aikido countering by accepting: kokyu dosa reversed, by Stefan Stenudd

KOKYU DOSA (呼吸動作) is an aikido breath move exercise normally done sitting in seiza, where uke grabs both wrists of tori, who pushes uke backwards until falling. But here it is reversed, so that uke evades the push, whereby tori is the one falling.
It can be regarded as KAESHI WAZA, a counter technique, blending with tori’s push by turning slightly at the start of it, which leads to tori losing balance and falling. The main object is to find the precise moment where minimum force and movement are needed. This can also be practiced standing up, as shown later in the video.
This was filmed at an aikido seminar I held in Prague, Czech Republic, in February 2024.
Here is my video on regular kokyu dosa (also called suwari kokyuho):
