Скачать или смотреть Aikido defenses against kicks and groundwork (part 1 of 2)

Part 1 of a two-part video.

This instructional offering of innovative keriwaza (defensive techniques against kicks) and newaza (ground work) demonstrates practical applications of aiki principles, instant intuition and full immersion in the present, active moment.

This video illustrates a skilled aikidoka's ability to keep one's attention, heart and mind open to new encounters, unfolding possibilities, subtle adjustments and fluid adaptation to changing conditions. The resulting unification of mind, body and spirit is the essence of Morihei Ueshiba's philosophy, values message and experience embodied in his Aikido. This non-dualistic state of mind is attained when rote technique and other training methods are transcended. The authentic aikidoka must individually discover the unexplained dimensions of the martial arts.

So, relax, enjoy and absorb the creativity of Andrade Shihan's nonviolent and enlightened Aikido. Unlock new possibilities through the perfection of the imperfect.
