Belows video clips should provide impressions about the AIKIDO we are practising in our Dojo.

Additional clips will be published on irregular basis.

Basically AIKIDO techniques are based on following sequence:

•   Absorb the attack
• Get out of the direction of the aggression(step slightly aside)
• Adapt yourself to the attack
• Right timing
  
• Same speed of the own movement compared to partners one(in AIKIDO we don't see the attacker as agressor, but as partner requiring some guidance)
• Divert the energy/power of the attack in the direction you want to
  
• Break the patners balance
• Throw the partner or guide him towards the ground
• Nage Waza:Throwing techniques(e.g. Irimi-Nage, Kaiten Nage -->video clips below). Human beings who lose their balance try to regain balance. In AIKIDO the power of this movement is used to throw the partner without using own power. If the timing and harmonisation with partners movement(kokyu) is going the right way the partner doesn't know, why he is falling.
  
• Katame Waza: Pinning techniques(e.g. Ikkyo, Nikyo -->you can see some in the video clip 'Aikido in Starnberg'; dedicated clips will follow in first half 2012). Partner is kept out of balance and is led towards ground.
• Holding partner on the ground by utilising AIKIDO pinning techniques
