Teaching Kids Aikido Can Be Fun
Kids Aikido classes can be great fun, but some techniques have to be left out to prevent injuries to growing young bodies.
17 – Hikiotoshi (pull-drop throw)
Hikiotoshi is the final of the 17 basic techniques of Tomiki Aikido. It also requires spectacular jumping and falling skills by Uke, the person it is being done to.
16 – Sumiotoshi (corner drop throw)
Sumiotoshi (corner-drop Aikido throw) technique #16 from the Randori no Kata of Shodokan Aikido.
15 – Maeotoshi (arm-bar throw)
The Maeotoshi aikido throw actually begins as an arm bar. Pressure is applied to Uke’s elbow joint, so Uke does a forward roll to prevent his arm being broken.
14 – Tenkai-Kotegaeshi (reversed wrist-twist)
Tenkai-Kotegaeshi is the 14th aikido technique in the Randori no Kata of Shodokan (Tomiki style) Aikido. In classical aikido styles this technique is called Shihonage, or four-directions throw.
12 – Kotegaeshi (outer wrist throw)
The Kotegaeshi wrist throw can be a simple throw for a beginner to learn. However, it takes a skilled partner to do the fall from this throw, since they must leap over their own arm before it breaks.
11 – Kotehineri (wrist push-down throw)
Kotehineri is a Shodokan Aikido wrist wind-up and arm push-down technique that puts Uke face-down on the ground where he can be held safely with a wrist lock.
09 – Udegarame (arm entanglement throw)
Udegarami begins as the previous technique (a pull down) but Uke resists and drops his elbow. You now step in and lock his elbow and turn your body towards him. He is allowed to roll away to prevent his arm from being broken.
07 – Udegaeshi (elbow wind-up throw)
Udegaeshi is a circular wrist lock, and Tomiki Aikido students learn to apply this as a counter, when Uke resists the original throw and tries to stop you. You just go in the direction he wants and you floor him!
06 – Oshitaoshi (elbow push-down)
Oshitaoshi is a powerful elbow control technique (or throw), also known as Ikkyo (First Control) in more traditional aikido styles.
05 – Ushiroate (Aikido rear attack)
The Ushiroate aikido throw is where you sidestep your attacker and step to his rear, and from there you pull his shoulders back and knock him to the floor.
04 – Gedanate (Aikido low attack)
Gedanate is an Aikido throw where you drop low, underneath your attacker’s arms and break his balance so he falls on his back or side.
02 – Aigamaeate (Aikido regular attack)
Aigamaeate is the 2nd Aikido technique of Tomiki Aikido’s Randori no Kata
