Aikido Seminar: Accommodation - Aikido's Hidden Weakness

The habit of unconsciously accommodating your partner in the art of Aikido destroys the integrity and biomechanical effectiveness of the martial arts technique. In this video, Sean Hannon Sensei of Castle Rock AIKIDO near Denver, Colorado demonstrates how Aikido practitioners inadvertently ruin their technique by confusing the qualities of "blending" with "collapsing". Hannon Sensei contends that "assertion" much be expressed through proper biomechanics rather than what he calls "accommodation".
