How to Apply Aiki Effectively DVD by Makoto Okamoto

"Why, for example, does Aikido have you grip the wrist?"

In the practice of Aikido-Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu, where one primarily gains movement and techniques through repeated training in predetermined forms, there exists a certain atmosphere in the dojo where everyday doubts and tricks are felt but are often difficult to ask about.
