270° shiho nage
The 270° turn is absolutely essential for the correct execution of shiho nage. It is therefore necessary to know the method that allows one to turn 270° without lifting one’s feet off the ground.
270° pivot
Tai no henka is not a 180° backward rotation around uke by means of a large step. Tai no henka is a 270° pivot without any step. The step comes afterwards, as an effect of tai no henka, as the consequence of the pivot.

Shinken Shōbu 真剣勝負 or sport?
Budō was written in 1938, at the end of an exceptional decade for Aikido, which decided its future. This was the golden age of the Kobukan, the dojo in Ushigome, Tokyo. The entire future development of Aikido was shaped there, in the decade leading up to the war.
Suwari waza - Vertical limit 3
Suwari waza kokyu ho is an exercise well known to all Aikido practitioners. It is often misunderstood. Like any Aiki movement, it must respect the vertical axis.
Shiho nage - Vertical limit 2
In the shiho nage technique, uke is kept off-balance towards the rear from the start to the end of the movement; at no point is he pulled forwards. This is the teaching given by O Sensei in Budō, with the utmost care and precision.
Vertical limit
In Budō, O Sensei provides a particularly precise description of shiho nage, which states that the energy must be developed vertically, and which does not correspond to the way the technique is practised in the method.

Time Warp
The modern drift in Aikido is so great that it is impossible to rediscover the Founder’s authentic practice without resorting to a time warp. The book Budō, published by O Sensei in 1938, represents this time warp, which is why it is so precious.
