Most detail understanding as I’ve ever seen. Why Aiki. Is what it is. Your break down is amazing. Your actually explaining the principles of ergonomics of Aikido. Oss.

Excellent explanation!! Thank you both!!

Very clear explanation of a lot of problems (with solutions) in Koshi Nage, with a great visual aid. I think it takes longer for students to understand the mechanics of how koshi nage works so they can make it their own that it takes them to understand, say, irimi nage. It is a much more sophisticated technique than it first appears to be, with near-infinite variations.

I love how this is the one channel where you can learn to be a samurai, and also get home improvement tips.

Thank you! Your explanations are so articulate and straight forward and helpful.

Great video. The ukemi required for a shomenuchi koshi nage (i.e., thrown from a shihonage position) is challenging, to say the least. Almost all of the aikido hip throws prevent nage from helping uke land well in contrast to Judo Koshi Waza. Thanks for producing this video. 🇦🇺

Very clera and detailed

wonderful technique, enjoy Koshi throwing or being thrown, all good for me.

Great video, as usual. I never realized that Sode tsurikomi goshi was so similar, but seeing them together, it's pretty obvious. Perhaps you knew already, but Aikido's Koshi Nage is different from Daito Ryu's, and some people think that O-Sensei got it from his time in Yagyu Shingan Ryu. I don't consider myself to be qualified to have an opinion in the matter, but it is interesting.

Nice details. Good video however, in general,, this is difficult technique because of scared uke: they usually seat back and move balance to behind. Not sure if it is easy to use in real fighting with grapplers. Any advice?

Not sure what you mean by real fighting with grapplers. Once you’re on the ground, the principles won’t apply. Only standing up you can more easily resist forward and backward pressure or push forward and backward using your body weight. But it’s more difficult because you’re in a crouching position.

This is probably the stupidest question anyone has ever asked: But in simplest terms, why are Aikido students taught to slap the mat with their hands when they fall?

Actually that’s a good question. Think of the arm slapping is like a break on the car. If you slap just before your body hits the mat you can SLOW down and disperse some of the force of the body hitting the mat. In the following video you’ll notice Briston’s slaps just before his body hits where as I slap at about the same time. Either way it softens the impact of the torso hitting the mat. I also tend to slap the mat when I’m doing a roll which slows down my roll. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nGmX2NGIpde7mZs.html

@@paulfrank1777 Thank you so much! I just started taking Aikido a few weeks ago, and have felt embarrassed to ask this to my Sensei. Now, I understand a basic idea better. Thank you again!

Before, I had thought of it as: if you arm falls first but lightly, it will quickly send a message to your brain about precisely when the rest of your body should be prepared to take the harder hit to the ground. But I never understood why you slap the mat as you finish your fall.

I see 4 points of improvement. But number one is basically a camara/narrator mistake, you do not really do it when you do it smoothly and don't talk. #1: you bend your back to much forward, you basically only need to get the hip in and then kind of only bend the upper body at the hip by roughly 45 degree #2: probably also the cameras fault. You do it correct most of the time, but to late. What I mean is: Look towards your own hand that is controlling uke much more early, and don"t look to the camera as that twists your body. You should create more tension from your hips via the torso to the controlling hand. It is like shooting a bow. The point you control is the grip of the bow. #3: not all hip throws in Aikido favour or need a T shaped footing position (that is a modern westerner myth, perhaps a mistranslation of something). In general that is only the case for situations that start or end in "Gyaku Hanmi" (e.g. your Sankyo example). Most others have parallel footing, as in Ai Hanmi. Then there are plenty of corner cases where to foot position is not "fixed" as the second leg is sweeping underneath Uke (e.g. Shiho Nage). Take it with a grain of salt, if done dynamically or having Uke standing in Zenkutsu Dachi instead of Shi Zen Tai, the slightly better foot positions appear automatically #4: Also position/posture/stand related, in some cases you should place only one foot into the center of Uke. And your body twist at the hip should be sideways, pushing the hip beyond where your. Imagine Uke's and your feet are two collons, like this :: - now Tori should shift have a colon width :D e.g. your Juji Garami example would fit for that. In general, but that might also be a camera problem, as you want to do it kind of slow motion: you step in, push in the hip with that leg, aka you step in with the right leg, you push your right hip under his hip. While keeping tension, you pull a bit on Uke, while your other leg follows, and while twisting your body a bit forward is oki, it should be more side ways. When the second foot joins (which is not always the case) the first foot, they should be close to touching at the heels. But the toes should point about 45 degrees outward. (You have them parallel). When he is "uploaded" on your hip, rotate your hip back into normal position, straighten the body, *and*: pull the leg that went in first out with a backward step. Anyway, great work. I enjoy your Kenjutsu videos. (This is not my main account, so most likes came from elsewhere :P )

@@paulfrank1777 Gosh, I have a new computer and spelling correction is not working. In the :: example I meant, shift half a step. E.g. you both stand in Shi Zen Tai. You are in front of your Uke but for example left from him. Your right foot can be in his center, his left foot is behind your center. That is what I meant with shifting one colon half a colon width. Now you can bend your body to shift in your hip, so the hip is fully under him, but you stand half outside. Load him on the hip, and step back with the leg you have in his center. Anyway. I guess my explanation is not really clear. Camara work: talk to your Uke, not to the camera or imaginary watcher. If you make throws or techniques where Uke rolls, or partner work with weapons, try to stand in an 35 to 45 degree angle towards the camera. I had great success by just using the camera as reference point and throwing Uke slightly left or slightly right from it. If the camera or the operator is good, you can throw from like 3m or 4m away and just miss the camera but have Uke stand up more or less in front of it.

N'importe quoi
