Gedan Ate Tomiki Aikido Style Throw - Applied Aikido

Here I explain and demonstrate how I like to use Gedan Ate for standing grappling. This technique is also found in Daito-Ryu. I learned this movement early on in my Tomiki Aikido training and it has always worked really well for me. I believe in the more modern schools of Aikido it is sometimes referred to as a variation of aiki otoshi. I have used it to great effect in Tomiki Aikido Randori and competition, BJJ Class and on the street.

Similar to sukui nage in judo and kiri kaeshi in Daito Ryu. I use it often. Nice demo 👍🏼

Interesting set-up. I was thinking of trying Gedan and Gyaku from an arm drag, but I suck at those so I might have to try this.

Cardio and speed are what I struggle with. How do I fight someone smaller faster and with a good cardio?

Taking some good stuff from each martial art is a great idea. Some people prefer to trash other fighting style and pretend that their own is the best. But you are very open minded!
