Katatori shihonage - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Tech

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Kata-tori Shihonage

Ito Sensei demonstrates Kata-tori shihonage or the four directions throw from a shoulder grab. Almost every technique can be done from every attack. Each execution will have a slightly different emphasis based upon the attack or a different mechanism of how the technique works. Learning the nuance for each attack helps us to fully learn each technique and the muscle memory enables us to not get pigeon holed into one way of making the technique work. The case in point is shihonage from a shoulder grab. For this attack, we cannot stretch out the arm like we do in most other shihonage techniques. This attack is tighter and so this style of shihonage teaches us how to use our hips and the rotation of our bodies in the execution of the technique. Generally, in shihonage, we attack the opponents shoulder and body in the execution of the technique. However, in this type of shihonage, we attack the elbow directly and so care needs to be taken in the execution and how one takes ukemi.

Sometimes there's no time to read a lengthy message or watch a long documentary. So we've created these quick and easy 2 minute techniques to help you improve your Aikido technique and knowledge. Keep an eye out for them every Wednesday.

Enjoy!
