In this video, Stanley Pranin explains and demonstrates shomenuchi kotegaeshi. Some of the main points he stresses are:
- the importance of nage initiating the attack
- the role of atemi in unbalancing uke
- use of a soft hand grab and the “tether principle”
- why “pain compliance” is not needed to execute this throw
Pranin is the founder of Aikido Journal and will be conducting a joint seminar with Pat Hendricks Sensei of Aikido of San Leandro, one of the highest ranking female aikido instructors in the world, in Las Vegas, March 9-10, 2013.
