Toshishiro Obata's Aikibujutsu is clearly derived from his long study of Yoshinkan Aikido. Obata was a student of Kushida Sensei's Kenshuu program at one point. He once visited the Ann Arbor dojo and told stories of training under Kushida Sensei back in the old days.
Nice to see some significant atemi. If you do the atemi correctly everything that follows may be unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteKushida Sensei said as much. If the atemi is strong, the rest of the technique may be unneccessary.
