Tenshin - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Tenshin or Moving Back
Ken Watanabe Sensei, Aikido 6th Dan, Iaido 5th Dan explains the basic movement of tenshin (転身) or “Moving backwards.” People often times think of tenshin as a form of retreat or shying away from an attack. However, regardless of moving forward or backwards, we should think about movement as changing position in reference to any attack. When we move, we move primarily to gain a more advantageous position on our attacker and their attack. Also, in all Aikido technique, we should always be projecting our consciousness or focus forward and moving backwards is no exception.
Let us know if you want us to do a full length video on this or any other topic.

Thanks again for your videos. I watch and rewatch them. They are an awesome learning tool. Please can I ask you to make a video on aikido deflections, and in particular on ukenagaeshi? I can't seem to find much on RUclips in this regard.
