His techniques are perfect, and he's very relaxed. His arm goes UP and not forward when Uke hold his wrist! He uses the up and down movement of his arms ...... like swinging a bokken! Tohei sensei (10th dan Aikido) stresses on the up and down movements and of not having a fighting mind.
Thank you very much Sensei. Student from Sydney, Australia.
Like Koichi Tohei sensei (10th Dan), Shibata sensei is very relaxed and he emphasizes the vertical movements (up and down).
