The Use Of Touch In Aikido Practice
THE USE OF TOUCH IN AIKIDO PRACTICE
One of the very significant elements of Aikido practiceis the amount of time we stay in direct physical contact with uke. We usually are in direct contact with uke during the whole time it takes to blend with the attack, redirect it, and throw or pin uke. This lengthy period of contact offers us the opportunity to feel and study uke’s movement and learn how to exert more effective control upon uke.
