A solo kata.......
Hello,
I was wondering if there were any solo kata's in aikido? If so, are there any clips of people doing them? If not, I will create one!!! |
Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm talking about empty-handed kata.
|
I think yoshinkan aikido have formulated their katas, bare hand and with tanto
very impressive to look at too.. |
Any body can "shadow" any of their techniques, and it looks very "kata"-like. Looks closer to tai chi than a karate kata, though. But it's not the same once you apply the technique. It's good practice if you are trying to remember the basic form of a technique.

We use the aiki taiso set (I believe originally from Ki Society) for warmups, and this makes a pretty good solo kata - lots to study in the movements, and they are not designed to require a partner. I have seen them in books by Tohei Sensei, and a good chunk of them are in Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere.
