About
This channel offers both classical and adapted approaches to Aikido. The style of Aikido I practice and teach is in the Aikikai tradition. Typically, classical Aikido adopts longer fighting distances and employs broad, sweeping actions in both attack and defense which are not often useful for actual self-defense. The adapted forms I display on this channel are my attempt to make classical Aikido technique more effective at closer fighting distances and against more modern forms of attack.
