The first time I have. Seen and heard an instructor. Explaine and show clearly what I believe the founder told Henry regarding Ying and yang can be. A further advancement in the true art of. Akido that avoids all agresoin thank you Henry alf
I find the explanation about yin and yang perfect. after that, nah, not so much. with chapter "uke" he basically is saying that UKE needs to follow, needs to corporate with the person doing the technique. I know that kind of teacher, if the technique doesn't work, its the fault of UKE, not of AITE. UKE does NOT have to follow, and historically UKE indeed grabs wrists to firmly holds it in place because UKE is supposed to hold a sword. I real aikido that WORKS , UKE doesnt have to corporate at all, he simply does not have a change the moment he grasps the wrists. It is the task of AITE to unbalance UKE and MAKE UKE MOVE. Remember all you Aikido kids out there, if a technique doesn't work, don't blame UKE but see it as a great opportunity to better your skill. MAKE the technique work!
