Re: Poll: How helpful is feeling techniques in learning aikido for you?
Sounds great Don. I didn't understand why Andy Foertsche taught ikyo, then sumi otoshi on Friday night - until early the next morning - when I was half dreaming about throwing a stiff armed kohai. KUZUSHI !!!!!!!
I like to close my eyes if I'm doing a technique wrong, so I can feel more. Of course this is trickier if the attack is a strike and contact hasn't been made yet!
