The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Sumi-otoshi

Ken Watanabe Sensei, Aikido 6th Dan, Iaido 5th Dan discusses the basics of sumi-otoshi (隅落とし) or “corner drop.” Sumi-otoshi seems like an easy basic level technique. However, once we practice it, we realize its depth. Sumi-otoshi teaches us not only how to irimi or “move in” deeply but it also teaches us proper body positioning, balance and how to strongly extend our power.

Let us know if you want us to do a full length video on this or any other topic.

Sometimes there's no time to read a lengthy message or watch a long documentary. So we've created these quick and easy 2 minute techniques to help you improve your Aikido technique and knowledge. Keep an eye out for them every Wednesday. 

Enjoy!
