WATCH: AIKIDO Tenchinage, Part 2 - Let the upper hand fall - DON'T PUSH

Today’s video is a continuation of last week’s video, where we were doing a stretch, letting uke do a full backbend.

We noted in last week’s video that in order for uke to find stability during the stretch, nage needed to make their arm really loose and also lean back to give a counter weight.

In today’s video, we take these principles and apply them to tenchinage. I still encourage people to keep their shoulders loose and not lean forward into uke.

I hope today’s video will give you some insight, inspiration, and motivation to help you make the most of your training and take your Aikido to the next level.

Let’s check it out.
