Kajo (correction) # 1
A dozen years ago, I wrote a long series of 23 articles: the ‘Kajo’. I made a mistake in my presentation at the time of this knowledge which is fundamental to a proper understanding of Aikido. Today I would like to correct this error.
Tai no sen
Tai no sen involves jutai-type practice: union with the dynamics of the opponent's movement, conforming to the flow of his energy (ki no nagare).
A step is missing !
It is not the irimi time that causes uke to loose balance, it is the tenkan time. This second time is therefore absolutely essential, as without it a step is missing.
Unique action
Rotation is the energy of Aikido movement, and this energy always develops in two opposite directions.
Kaiten = Shiho
The relationship between these two techniques is much more than a vague kinship, it's a true identity.
