How Did He Do That

Dean Chapman, Shihan, recently shared a dynamic video of an Aiki Showman performing defensive techniques that were very extreme and quick. Using manual screen captures I saved several of them for analysis. The techniques are so fast, many of my shots look fuzzy.

 

The secret :

 

1) Take a way above average technician,

2) great technique

3) an incredible uke that starts moving at the slightest chance of pain from the technique and of course

4) insane practice, practice
