Really interesting to watch. There would have been a time when I'd dismiss things I didn't 'see' as something I needed, but now, and thanks to the tai chi practice, I am halfway to seeing what is more important, connection, kokyu and spirals , the 'so called' unused hand being far more important than we first imagine. These videos are most useful for exploring the chance to observe what might be really happening. thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I am still learning how much we miss even when we are doing it. The answers can hide from us, but I live in hopes that each time I try this way of working I will learn more and open the doors to understanding.
@@Tony_Sargeant Even your reply opens the gates of possibilities, definitely tai chi has allowed me to discover more than when engaged in aikido practise, as there is more time to find the internal connections and engage consciousness. The sense of elbows always going away from you isn't necessarily taught in aikido but makes a huge difference to whole body connection. I'm trying to apply things like this to the aiki jo and ken. I have found it makes it more powerful but with less strength involved. I'm sure this is a useful gate ! But who knows? For elbows going away from you, think morote dori kokyu ho, it is a perfect example. Thank you for all your years of teaching.
I am also convinced that we can change and power to points we wish to stop the Uke and defy angels by thought alone. Somehow my body has the confidence that if i` think of an angle change I am then locked into that position and they cannot move or escape the angle. But I may now be going beyond what. keeps us sane?
@@Tony_Sargeant It makes sense to me, Our consciousness guides our body to carry out that function without the tension of any muscles countering our effort. I find it valuable and interesting because it takes me beyond previous limits, and not because it would assist me in self defence, just the excitement of continual discovery is enough. If you think that is odd, today we looked at pushing people using their skin not their bones. Sounds insane but it actually works. I'll stop there and let someone else have a say. Richard
Makes sense to me, but I am perhaps. 'also Mad'.
