Aikido techniques are frequently referred to as waza 技 (which is Japanese for technique, art or skill). Aikido training is based primarily on two partners practicing pre-arranged forms (kata) rather than freestyle practice. The basic pattern is for the receiver of the technique (uke) to initiate an attack against the person who applies the technique—the 取り tori, or shite仕手, (depending on aikido style) also referred to as (投げnage (when applying a throwing technique), who neutralises this attack with an aikido technique.[1]

Both halves of the technique, that of uke and that of tori, are considered essential to aikido training.[1] Both are studying aikido principles of blending and adaptation. Tori learns to blend with and control attacking energy, while uke learns to become calm and flexible in the disadvantageous, off-balance positions in which tori places him. This 'receiving' of the technique is called ukemi.[1]Uke continuously seeks to regain balance and cover vulnerabilities (e.g., an exposed side), while tori uses position and timing to keep ukeoff-balance and vulnerable. In more advanced training, uke may apply reversal techniques (返し技kaeshi-waza) to regain balance and pin or throw tori.

Ukemi (受身) refers to the act of receiving a technique. Good ukemi involves attention to the technique, the partner and the immediate environment - it is an active rather than a passive 'receiving' of Aikido. The fall itself is part of Aikido, and is a way for the practitioner to receive, safely, what would otherwise be a devastating strike or throw (or joint lock control) and return to a standing position in one fluid movement. The person throwing (or applying other technique) must take into account the ukemi ability of his partner, as well as the physical space: walls, weapons (wooden tantō, bokken, jō) on the tatami, and the aikido practitioners nearby.

Uke must attack with a strength and speed appropriate to the skill level of the tori; in the case of beginners, this means an attack of far less severity than would be encountered in a real-life self-defense situation.

Training techniques[edit]

  • Boat-rowing exercise (船漕運動Funakogi undō) / Rowing the boat (取り船torifune)[2] teaches movement from the hip rather than relying on muscle strength of the arms
  • First teaching exercise (一教運動Ikkyo undō) trains students to enter with both arms forward in the tegatana (手刀) position.
  • Body change (体の変更Tai no henko) altering the direction of an incoming attack
  • Seated breathing method (座技呼吸法Suwariwaza kokyūhō) / Breathing action (呼吸動作Kokyūdōsa) / Breathing belly method (呼吸丹田方Kokyūtandenhō) breathing is important in the execution of all aikido techniques. Here 'breathing' has an additional meaning of 'match with' or 'accord,' as the efforts of tori must agree with the direction and strength with which his wrists are held by uke.

Initial attacks[edit]

Most aikido strikes resemble attacks with a sword

Aikido techniques are usually a defense against an attack; therefore, to practice aikido with their partner, students must learn to deliver various types of attacks. Although attacks are not studied as thoroughly as in striking-based arts such as karate or taekwondo, 'honest' or 'sincere' attacks (a strong strike or an immobilizing grab) are needed to study correct and effective application of technique.

Many of the strikes (打ちuchi) of aikido are often said to resemble cuts from a sword or other grasped object, which indicates its origins in techniques intended for armed combat. Other techniques, which appear to explicitly be punches (tsuki), are also practiced as thrusts with a knife or sword. Kicks are generally reserved for upper-level variations; reasons cited include that falls from kicks are especially dangerous, and that kicks (high kicks in particular) were uncommon during the types of combat prevalent in feudal Japan. Some basic strikes include:

  • Front-of-the-head strike (正面打ちshōmen'uchi) a vertical knifehand strike to the head. In training, this is usually directed at the forehead or the crown for safety, but more dangerous versions of this attack target the bridge of the nose and the maxillary sinus.
  • Side-of-the-head strike (横面打ちyokomen'uchi) a diagonal knifehand strike to the side of the head or neck.
  • Chest thrust (胸突きmune-tsuki) a punch to the torso. Specific targets include the chest, abdomen, and solar plexus. Same as 'middle-level thrust' (中段突きchūdan-tsuki), and 'direct thrust' (直突きchoku-tsuki).
  • Face thrust (顔面突きganmen-tsuki) a punch to the face. Same as 'upper-level thrust' (上段突きjōdan-tsuki).
  • Sword-taking (太刀取りtachitori) Being attacked with a sword or bokken, usually reserved for upper level practitioners.
  • Knife-taking (短刀取りtantōtori) Being attacked with a tantō, usually a wooden one.
  • Staff-taking (杖取りjōtori) Being attacked with a jō . Being attacked by any wooden staff is called bōtori(棒取り) or tsuetori(杖取り)

Beginners in particular often practice techniques from grabs, both because they are safer and because it is easier to feel the energy and lines of force of a hold than a strike. Some grabs are historically derived from being held while trying to draw a weapon; a technique could then be used to free oneself and immobilize or strike the attacker who is grabbing the defender.

  • Single-hand grab (片手取りkatate-dori) one hand grabs one wrist.
  • Both-hands grab (諸手取りmorote-dori) both hands grab one wrist. Same as 'single hand double-handed grab' (片手両手取りkatateryōte-dori)
  • Both-hands grab (両手取りryōte-dori) both hands grab both wrists. Same as 'double single-handed grab' (両片手取りryōkatate-dori).
  • Shoulder grab (肩取りkata-dori) a shoulder grab. 'Both-shoulders-grab' is ryōkata-dori (両肩取り). It is sometimes combined with an overhead strike as Shoulder grab face strike (肩取り面打ちkata-dori men-uchi).
  • Chest grab (胸取りmune-dori or muna-dori) grabbing the (clothing of the) chest. Same as 'collar grab' (襟取りeri-dori).
  • Rear chokehold (後ろ裸絞ushiro kubishime)
  • Rear both shoulders grab (後ろ両肩取りushiro ryokatatori)
  • Rear both wrists grab (後ろ手首取りushiro tekubitori)

Techniques[edit]

Diagram of ikkyō, or 'first technique'. Yonkyō has a similar mechanism of action, although the upper hand grips the forearm rather than the elbow.

When all attacks are considered, aikido has over 10,000 nameable techniques. Many aikido techniques derive from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but some others were invented by Morihei Ueshiba. The precise terminology for some may vary between organisations and styles; what follows are the terms used by the Aikikai Foundation. (Note that despite the names of the first five techniques listed, they are not universally taught in numeric order.)[3] Several techniques (e.g. the 'drop' throws) are also shared with judo, which can be considered a 'cousin' of aikido due to their shared jujutsu background.

  • First teaching (一教ikkyō) ude osae (arm pin), a control using one hand on the elbow and one hand near the wrist which leveragesuke to the ground.[4] This grip also applies pressure into the ulnar nerve at the wrist.
  • Second teaching (二教nikyō) kote mawashi, a pronating wristlock that torques the arm and applies painful nerve pressure. (There is an adductive wristlock or Z-lock in ura version.)
  • Third teaching (三教sankyō) kote hineri, a rotational wristlock that directs upward-spiraling tension throughout the arm, elbow and shoulder.
  • Fourth teaching (四教yonkyō) kote osae, a shoulder control similar to ikkyō, but with both hands gripping the forearm. The knuckles (from the palm side) are applied to the recipient's radial nerve against the periosteum of the forearm bone.[5]
  • Fifth teaching (五教gokyō) ude nobashi, visually similar to ikkyō, but with an inverted grip of the wrist, medial rotation of the arm and shoulder, and downward pressure on the elbow. Common in knife and other weapon take-aways.
  • Sixth teaching (六教rokkyō) also called Elbow arm-barring pressure (肘極め押さえhiji kime osae)
  • Arm-spraining second teaching (腕挫二教ude hishigi nikkyo) an elbow lock generally used for knife thrusts or straight punches.
  • Four-direction throw (四方投げshihōnage) The hand is folded back past the shoulder, locking the shoulder joint.
  • Forearm return (小手返しkotegaeshi) a supinating wristlock-throw that stretches the extensor digitorum.
  • Breath throw (呼吸投げkokyūnage) a loosely used term for various types of mechanically unrelated techniques, although they generally do not use joint locks like other techniques.[6]

Different types of kokyūnage include:

ushironage 後ろ投げ the attacker falls backwards. Known as Tai no henkō in Yoshinkan
tenkan tsugiashi 転換継ぎ足 rear pivot and then forward step
irimi tenkan 入身転換
irimi kaiten 入身回転
kiri otoshi 切り落し 'cutting drop'
uki otoshi[7] 浮き落とし 'floating drop'
maki otoshi[8]巻き落とし 'rolling-up drop'
hajiki goshi はじき腰 “flicking hip”
katahiki-otoshi 肩ひき落とし “shoulder pulling drop”
kata hiki hajiki goshi 肩ひきはじき腰 shoulder-pulling flicking hip
suri-otoshi すり落とし “striking drop”
tsurikomi-goshi 釣込腰 “lifting-pull hip”
tsuri-goshi 釣腰 “pulling hip”
kote-hineri koshi-nage 小手捻り腰投げ “forearm twist hip throw”
  • Entering throw (入身投げiriminage) throws in which tori moves through the space occupied by uke. The classic form superficially resembles a 'clothesline' technique.
  • Heaven-and-earth throw (天地投げtenchinage) beginning with ryōte-dori; moving forward, tori' sweeps one hand low ('earth') and the other high ('heaven'), which unbalances uke so that he or she easily topples over.
  • Hip throw (腰投げkoshinage) aikido's version of the hip throw. Tori drops his or her hips lower than those of uke, then flips uke over the resultant fulcrum.
  • Figure-ten throw (十字投げjūjinage) or figure-ten entanglement (十字絡みjūjigarami) a throw that locks the arms against each other (The kanji for '10' is a cross-shape: 十).[9]
  • Rotary throw (回転投げkaitennage)tori sweeps the arm back until it locks the shoulder joint, then uses forward pressure to throw.[10]
  • Corner drop (隅落Sumi otoshi)
  • Arm extension throw (腕極め投げudekimenage) from behind tori extends uke's arm slightly downwards and places the other arm under tori's upper arm, then moves whole body forward.
  • Arm entanglement (腕絡みudegarami)
  • Shoulder drop (背負落Seoi otoshi)
  • Body drop (体落Tai otoshi)
  • Large Hip (大腰O goshi)
  • Shoulder wheel (肩車Kata guruma)

Yoshinkan terminology[edit]

The Yoshinkan school retains these Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu terms for the 'first' through 'fourth' techniques:

  1. 一ケ条 Ikkajo
  2. 二ケ条 Nikajo
  3. 三ケ条 Sankajo
  4. 四ケ条 Yonkajo

Implementations[edit]

Diagram showing two versions of the ikkyō technique: one moving forward (the omote version) and one moving backward (the ura version). See text for more details.

Aikido makes use of body movement (tai sabaki) to blend with uke. For example, an 'entering' (irimi) technique consists of movements inward towards uke, while a 'turning' (転換tenkan) technique uses a pivoting motion.[11]Additionally, an 'inside' (内uchi) technique takes place in front of uke, whereas an 'outside' (外soto) technique takes place to his side; a 'front' (表omote) technique is applied with motion to the front of uke, and a 'rear' (裏ura) version is applied with motion towards the rear of uke, usually by incorporating a turning or pivoting motion. Finally, most techniques can be performed while in a seated posture (seiza). Techniques where both uke and tori are sitting are called suwari-waza, and techniques performed with uke standing and tori sitting are called hanmi handachi.[12]

Thus, from fewer than twenty basic techniques, there are thousands of possible implementations. For instance, ikkyō can be applied to an opponent moving forward with a strike (perhaps with an ura type of movement to redirect the incoming force), or to an opponent who has already struck and is now moving back to reestablish distance (perhaps an omote-waza version). Specific aikido kata are typically referred to with the formula 'attack-technique(-modifier)'.[13] For instance, katate-dori ikkyō refers to any ikkyō technique executed when uke is holding one wrist. This could be further specified as katate-dori ikkyō omote, referring to any forward-moving ikkyō technique from that grab.

Atemi (当て身) are strikes (or feints) employed during an aikido technique. Some view atemi as attacks against 'vital points' meant to cause damage in and of themselves. For instance, Gōzō Shioda described using atemi in a brawl to quickly down a gang's leader.[14] Others consider atemi, especially to the face, to be methods of distraction meant to enable other techniques. A strike, whether or not it is blocked, can startle the target and break his or her concentration. The target may also become unbalanced in attempting to avoid the blow, for example by jerking the head back, which may allow for an easier throw.[12]Many sayings about atemi are attributed to Morihei Ueshiba, who considered them an essential element of technique.[15]

In Aikido, one is not taught violence instead one is taught to be in harmony with the opponent to be able to defeat. This might seem odd but it actually works. In approaching an opponent, the aim of the Aikido practitioner is to be one with the opponent to be able to attack him where he is weakest and in doing so diver or immobilize him but never to kill.

Kodokan judo, one of the most well-known martial arts in the world today, was originated by Jigoro Kano (1860–1938), a martial artist and career educator who developed the art after studying several types of jujutsu, sumo, and Western wrestling. Openness and refinement were hallmarks of his personal and professional style, and he relentlessly searched for the best way to practice, teach, and perform techniques. This biography shows how Kano saw judo as a vehicle not just for self-defense, but for physical, spiritual, and moral development as well. His teachings clearly emphasize his ideal of judo as a way of self-cultivation that leads to physical health, ethical behavior, and ultimately a better society. Kano was a tireless activist who promoted the practical application of judo’s principles in all realms of life—in one’s personal behavior, for education, in work, for economic benefit, and in both the local and international political arenas. Kano’s students were a colorful, sometimes notorious bunch, and this book reveals how several went on to become famous—or infamous—in their own right. They include a prime minister of Japan, the leader of the Communist party in China, a famous novelist, a spy, high-level military leaders, and a media mogul, among many others.

Verbal Aikido Techniques Pdf



Here is a unique approach to the teachings of the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, as interpreted by his direct student of fifteen years. Mitsugi Saotome examines the spiritual philosophy of the Founder, the warrior ideals of feudal Japan as the basis of his martial arts philosophy, and the scientific principles underlying the philosophy of Aikido technique. The author shows that the physical movement of Aikido is the embodiment of principles of the spirit. Negative force is not countered with aggression but is controlled and redirected through the power and balance of spiral movement. This is the shape of Aikido and the dynamic shape at the foundation of all energies of existence. Aikido movement can only be understood from its roots in universal law and the processes of nature. The sincere practice and study of Aikido deepens our appreciation for the perfection of nature's balance and brings us back into harmony with our environment, other people, and ourselves. Abundantly illustrated with the author's drawings, diagrams, and calligraphies, as well as photographs demonstrating Aikido techniques, the book also offers a history of Aikido, personal anecdotes about the Founder, and translations of several of his lectures.
