WATCH: Aikido Seminar - Kokyu-ho - Drop your weight deep into the tatami
With the New Year less than a week away, maybe you’re thinking of New Year’s goals? Is one of your New Year’s goals to take your Aikido to the next level?
If so, I hope today’s video will give you some insight, inspiration, and motivation.
In the video, I share some clips from a seminar I did a couple months ago in Bonn, Germany. The footage is from the end of the class, when we’re working on kokyu-ho.
In these clips, I encourage students to kind of “push” against the tatami or drop their weight deep into the tatami, through the hips, while taking on a pyramid-like structure with their body.
Let’s check it out.
Level up your Aikido.
