Regrettably I neither speak Russian or practice Tomiki style Aikido, but this has become my most watched video recently. Here are the things I like: 1: excellent kamae: knees bent, hips flexible, nice foot position 2: very good connection between nage's hips and and uke's center through effective control of uke's Hiji. 3: Strong kuzushi through good connection and skillful tai-sabaki. 4: clear spirit of the sword within the movements. It is very easy to imagine nage holding a sword, the tip being uke's Hiji. Thanks for ITAF for positing this and for Uke and Nage demonstrating such a high degree of skill. I find this video highly motivational. Thanks!
