Morihiro Saito Sensei - 7 Ken Suburi | Aikido

7 Ken Suburi in Aikidō are the seven basic solo movements with sword. 1. Ichi No [ 一の – The First Suburi] 2. Ni No [ 二の – The Second Suburi] 3. San No [ 三の – The Third Suburi] 4. Yon No [ 四の – The Fourth Suburi] 5. Go No [ 五の – The Fifth Suburi] 6. Roku No [ 六の – The Sixth Suburi] 7. Shichi No [ 七の – The Seventh Suburi] “Among the basic ken practices left by the founder are the ki-musubi-no-tachi and the 5 kumi-tachi. Since the kumi-tachi are quite complicated, we must learn the basic 7 suburi in order to avoid becoming confused and to be able to safely practice the kumi-tachi. I formulated 7 suburi practices by selecting movements from the 7 kumi-tachi. We must practice the suburi a sufficient amount in order to execute the kumi-tachi safely.” – Morihiro Saito Sensei See Also 20 Jo Suburi:    • Morihiro Saito Sensei - 20 Jo Suburi | Aikido   Video Source:    • Morihiro Saito 7 ken suburi
