Aikido: Short Sword as Pointer to help students correct direction of focus and intention
►► Eliminate inefficient or harmful patterns of movement NOW. Body Alignment Checklist for martial artists → https://www.lia-suzuki.com/body-align... Do you ever use wakizashi or other shoto as a kind of "pointer"? In today's video, I'm share a couple clips from a seminar I taught back in 2017. In these clips, I use wakizashi more like a "pointer" of sorts to show students where their focus is directed or to remind them of where their focus and intention SHOULD be directed. Let me know in the comments section what you struggle with the most, when it comes to short sword. Or feel free to leave other questions, as well. - Come train with us in Los Angeles!
