The right gesture
If you don't understand the suburi you can't understand the kumitachi, if you don't understand the kumitachi you can't understand Aikido.
If you don't understand the suburi you can't understand the kumitachi, if you don't understand the kumitachi you can't understand Aikido.
The multidirectional reality of Aikido exercises has been contracted into a false but necessary unidirectional pedagogical form.
When kumitachi n°4 is executed in line with a single opponent who attacks repeatedly, the second uketachi beat is incomprehensible.
