In many schools ladies are permitted to wear hakama before they reach Shodan. Traditionally this is due to modesty and tradition as the gi was merely considered humble undergarments.
I sat here typing out why you are wrong, and then I realized it's pointless. This and the other forms of iriminage are basically fancy cousins of osoto-gari and sukui-nage and no one questions those techniques. The falls taken by the partner are there to enable safe practice. Sometimes they over-do it a bit but the point there is to keep people safe. Iriminage without a proper fall ends up with a head smacking off the ground. If you've never tried it, reserve your judgement. Feeling is believing.
Saludos desde México!!! Soy Yolanda, tengo 79 años, empecé a practicar AIKIDO a los 72 años, adaptado a silla de ruedas pues tuve un evento cerebro vascular, mi hijo sensei Julio Herminio Ramírez Alvarado del Dojo Tenayuca, de la Ciudad de México, es quien me ha capacitado, me he recuperado y mantenido muy bien. EXCELENTE SU AIKIDO!!!
You may have something to say that is of interest to me. I would not know because you mumble. If you post anything on RU-vid have a look at it. If it is no good - fix it.
I'm a first dan in Shotokan Karate. I should of been a higher degree but like everything in life things got in my way. Over all I have such respect for Aikido. During my years in karate as a student I was always on the receiving end of a technique. Understanding pressure point using gravity against someone strong or taller is crucial especial pain. In recent years you see people in law enforce, military using such technique but they don't understand the fundament of what they are doing when applying such practice on others. The ending result can be deadly. Great video thankyou so much for posting this. Much respect....
I've been studying aikido for over 30 years now and Sensei and Kaicho, this was an awesome test, this young fellow was doing the best he could. You taught him well. I enjoyed very much. (And i actually learned something) i found the suwari waza and the koshinage exceptional and he kept on going no matter what.... admiration! Arigatou!
