Rather than relying solely on intuition, physical strength, or vague explanations of \"ki,\" Kurabe breaks his method down into specific concepts and progressive exercises designed to make subtle Aiki skills easier to understand and practice. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eKurabe explores three central ideas in his system: \u003cstrong\u003ebalancing opposing forces (heikō-hō), what he calls the transmission of muscular electrical signals, and \"Aiki Mode,\" his theory concerning mental state, neurological response, and physical movement\u003c\/strong\u003e. Through demonstrations and partner exercises, he examines how relaxation, body structure, balance, contact, intention, and the direction of force can be used to disrupt an opponent's posture and ability to resist. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe instruction progresses from eliminating unnecessary muscular tension and developing relaxed, unconscious movement to more advanced methods of kuzushi.
