Thank you for the explanation about the central meridian and its role in stance and attack in Aikido. Your detailed analysis of the inner depth of Ikkyo and Kokyu Nage techniques is impressive! It's very interesting how you demonstrate the techniques from the perspective of both nage and uke. Usually, all the attention is focused on nage, but you have subtly shown how uke moves in interaction. Thank you!

@@user-om3mo7xq5x Thank you! Back in my Aikido days I enjoyed being uke more than being nage because acting as nage is only the way to test what you can do so that while acting as uke allows to go beyond the limit. Working hard on ukemi is the way to improve in Aikido because if you do the technique not very well opponent still may not notice that but when one's ukemi is not very well it might turn into an injury. That's why I preferred doing roll-ups or high ukemi on a solid surface. Finally needless to say that during an Aikido seminar it's more worth to get thrown by the instructor a few times than listen to theory for hours. Thank a lot for your comment! P.S. Since I'm not an Aikido guy I don't have a right to teach Aikido straight ahead but I like using it as an illustration for some core inner principles, e.g. in Qigong central meridian is not seen as good as in Aikido. And regarding ukemi again - I was a 'fall guy' at my Qigong teacher's class for years, so demonstrating a certain principle from Uke's perspective regardless of style is the way I can express the principle just better.

@@monkey_see_monkey_doI also prefer being Uke. I enjoy not knowing what technique will come next, interacting, and merging in movement... and then ukemi, the flight in a roll that doesn't end, but feels like you're pushing off the ground and attacking again. The mind doesn't grasp everything happening at that moment; you only feel the present. Only later can I think about it and try to understand.
