Muna Tori Dai Ikkyo (胸取り 第一教)

Dai Ikkyo, or Ikkyo (第一教), is the most basic and fundamental technique of Aikido; it is its Alpha and Omega. The founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, said that training Ikkyo requires a lifetime of study. There are countless ways to apply it; in this video, I explore what I consider to be the basic form and some possible variations that I use in my practice.
