Yoshinkan Aikido Intro to Basic Techniques DVD 2 with Susumu Chino

This isn't just about introducing basic techniques in Yoshinkan Aikido. It's a groundbreaking work that teaches methods to enhance the quality of techniques, not just their form. It provides detailed explanations aimed at beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners.

The Yoshinkan Aikido Basic Techniques were established to enable everyone to learn and apply Aikido techniques effectively. Mastering their correct form is the first step toward advancing in Aikido. This production begins by explaining key checkpoints for mastering these forms accurately, with a focus on addressing common mistakes and the unique movements of Aikido that beginners often struggle with. These explanations are equally valuable for intermediate and advanced practitioners to refine their own movements.

Moreover, advancing in Aikido requires not only memorizing forms but also enhancing their quality. What specific points must one learn to achieve this? This DVD reveals the essence of techniques mastered after over 30 years of Aikido training by Dojo-cho Susumu Chino, without holding back.
