Aikido Equipment:

Kotegaeshi is the next technique we're going to take a look at. It literally means wrist twist. If you start with kakataetori. I want to step offline and away from the attack. Ten kon. Bring the hand in front of me. The free hand is going to rest right on top of my partners. Take a look. I've got my thumb right in between the ring and pinkie finger. My fingers inside the palm. As I step back and my partner turns to face me, I want to match my fingers right on top of my partners and point all of this at the floor as I move. Turn the hips. Fingers down to the floor. Make sure I've got the hand position. Ten Kon. Then I take one more step back and match fingers to fingers, when all of that is right at the floor. Down. We can also see this from ski. Same movement. Same movement. Yokomunushi will change things a little bit, but the basic technique, still there. Kotegaeshi. Wrist twist.

Best instruction on Kotegaeshi I've seen on YT. I learned from Niikura Sensei in Michigan back in the 90s.

Mike, I teach Aikijujitsu in Toronto Canada. I can tell you are a very gifted instructor. You are very clear and accurate.

Learning how to fall properly is very important to avoid injury. Great video !!

[Gajdosh]

Aikido can be deadly as all hell. It isn't meant to be that, though. It's about not causing damage. You are watching techniques that are designed to do no harm and talk about how it is "weak" - assuming compared to some destructive hits. Timing, balance and control beat direct powerful strikes.

Good Job We are new in Aikido and trying to promote it in Pakistan

Thank you so much for these videos! I started aikido (Wadokai) about a month and a half ago, and these are super helpful to watch when I'm not in class. :)

It can hurt if a person doesn't know how to roll well... I know because my dojo practices this move and every time I roll wrong my back or head hits the floor

[spyter]

Well actually he's slapping the ground on purpose to distribute the force. If you do it just right you wont feel a thing. Same thing in Judo.

One of the most Graceful moves in all of Martial Arts, it’s Beautiful

1:19 The wY he pulls him down, that little extra force!

[emnajerbi]

I liked the part when you just kept throwing him around

[TheDaiBish]

If you have a look at it done properly (at the end), he doesn't give the attacker time to get a good grip on the wrist, meaning he can easily pull away.

If you wanted to do the technique when the person has a good grip on your wrist, you'd need to loosen the grip first (bringing the grabbed hand towards your face, thereby applying pressure on the thumb, elbow and shoulder, is one way of doing it).

I like that you roll uke's fingers backward. Not all modern schools teach that, but I've also seen it in traditional jujutsu. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing the knowledge of the osensei

[cleberoc]

mike, every time you lean forward, instead of keeping your whole body upright, it is easy and prevents their imbalance to use the full potential of your hips, but, as you use the upper chest to make the launch of the uke, this invariably have to make excessive force, incluvive the uke can apply a kaeshi-waza using from his desebrilíbrio forward biased, he is only following polarized flux at the top and apply, if you kept upright he could rip her dogui, but you would not take one kaeshi waza.try

There is such grace in he movements of Aikido; however, a person with limited motion in their hips and leg(s) might have problems.

[bakters]

I have seen one cat that moved like this guy, but most cats are not that graceful.

[ingostelz]

I love Aikido and trained it now for 15 Years. No other Martial Arts looks so harmonious like Aikido.

[michaelsouth]

i love the hakamas they wear it looks cool

I look at this move as the "hammer and nail." When in a street fight, and once you have a free hand and your thumb is in place - that is the "nail". With extreme force slam your open palm as a hammer into your thumb and break the wrist. Don't tap - SLAM - utilize your breathing techniques and yell on impact. Destroy your opponent...
