Tachidori Vol 1

Tachi Dori techniques or empty hands against weapons are identical to those performed in Tai Jutsu (Empty handed techniques)
To fully understand the mechanisms and principles that govern these techniques, it is important to make the correlation between its two aspects of the practice as they had been developed by the Founder of Aikido O'sensei Morihei and Ueshiba and broadcast in their current educational form by Morihiro Saito Shihan his direct student for more than 23 years.
as in Jodori it is also important to distinguish between the techniques which can be practiced at the same time on both sides Hanmi right and Hanmi left and those which can be performed only on one side, right foot forward or left foot forward .
Finally, it is very important to harmonize with the attacks of your partner, by making sure to preserve your Hanmi or "Sankaku Kamae" position which allows great mobility during your movements while remaining out of reach.
