Shomen Uchi Dai Sankyo

Dai Sankyo is one of the most well-known techniques in Aikido. An interesting fact is that one of the oldest images of Pancration, a Greek martial art, is a statue of a fighter applying a Sankyo to his opponent. In this video, I explore this waza with Shomen Uchi's attack. There are numerous ways to apply it, here I demonstrate what in my view is the basic form and some possible variations that I use in my practice.
