Aikido Jiyu Waza & Atogeiko with Kadoya Sensei (AKI Aikido Kenkyukai International)

Atogeiko (literally 'after practice') is a signature feature of the AKI style of Aikido founded by Yoshinobu Takeda Shihan (8th dan, Aikikai Japan). At the end of the formal class, students bow to their sensei (teacher) and senpai (senior students) for ukemi, and will receive anywhere from 20 to 100 throws at a time depending on their ability. This practice, while physically demanding, is invaluable for their progress as it develops suppleness, sensitivity and inner weight. Once fatigued, they can no longer physically resist their partner's movements and must blend intuitively and spontaneously with each technique in accordance with Aikido principles. Atogeiko is a very joyful and creative practice for both the student and the teacher, with many new ideas and directions transmitted between the two through direct contact. For the student, it's an invaluable opportunity to experience and absorb their teacher's 'feeling'. For the teacher, the informality of atogeiko provides an wonderful forum in which to experiment with key elements of the AKI approach including sensitivity, connection, extension, kokyu, hara etc., and to develop their own free expression of Aikido beyond form and technique. The clip below features atogeiko with Yasumitsu Kadoya Sensei (AKI Japan, 6th dan), one of Takeda Shihan's most gifted pupils. It was filmed at his home dojo (the Shonai Aikidokai) in Sakata city, Japan, and illustrates his relaxed, fluid and spontaneous style. His ukes (in order of appearance) are Berin Mackenzie (AKI Australia), Mr Kazunori (Shonai Aikidokai) and Mr Yamazaki (Shonai Aikidokai). AKI Australia is very pleased to be hosting Kadoya Sensei for an Aikido seminar in Sydney this August!
