Redirection of force... I was doing this in the 1980's. Simply relax dont resist, be soft, then you can feel where the force is, then redirect it... Simple physics by leverage... So a good demonstration & explanation... 👌👍
@@tandendo Yes, I think you can combine both methods, but I would call what you describe as "pulse" more of an "explosive" power which emanates from your core centre... Its a matter of feel to me... I always found the softer and more relaxed you are, the easier it is to move or escape to effect a technique... Having done a lot of Tomiki aikido competition shiai against many resisting opponents, which has many similarities to judo, you cannot effect technique if you're stiff and only just being strong, which your opponent can easily resist. Of course muscle strength is important, but I would say its an efficient way of using less muscle power to effect the desired result... 👐
@@towag What I mean "pulse" is a single wave and it does not mean explosive. I just wanted to mean a stationary wave. It is easy to use the technique against resisting opponents but it would be hard to use against someone who knows exactly the same technique because we can return it. Someone who is stiff is just like a stick would be easier with this technique.
@@tandendo I think everyone has their own methods when you practice for a long time... I see these things and see how the body is used to effect these results... It is having a trained eye to be able to see the trick.... Once you have it, its quite simple... It looks and feels like "magic" to the untrained person or novice...
The force applied by the Sensei is initially parallel to the ground, so perpendicular to the downward force of the Uke applying his full weigh..It is indeed the same process as explained by the old Sensei students of grandmasther Shioda
