Interfacing Between Aikido Styles
I did seven years aikido in what I think was an Aikikai style (long time ago), took twenty years off and am now two years into my practice as a Yoshinkan aikidoka. Love it.
I'm interested in the interface between aikido styles; anyone have perspectives on having tried two? Bill |

By 'interface' I mean particular instances in techniques where differing styles take alternative paths - let's say for instance in shihonage, from shomen uchi...

@ Bill: the two examples I cited are things which are absent from aikikai aikido - in the case of the latter example, I don't think there are any instances in that style where tori initiates... |
Re: Hello Aikido world
There´s a lot of Iwama aikido within Aikikai, having tori initiate shomenuchi is the basic form within that line.

I liked that, agreed with it, and it was in this sense I used the term - although as I said it, you're quite right: it was an equivocation. |
Re: Interfacing Between Aikido Styles
Yes,
I did almost exactly what you did; started in the AAA and am now in an organization that has both AAA influenced aikido and Yoshinkan influenced aikido (was uchideshi at a Yoshinkan school). My particular dojo has been focusing on combining the two influences into our technique. In fact, there was a recent yudansha test with myself and a senior to me where our goal was to display to our international director how our dojo has been combining the two stylistic influences. We pretty much tried to do 50/50 aikikai/Yoshinkan techniques, including things like displaying both the aikikai'ish (I know aikikai is a huge generalization) ushirotekubi tori and the Yoshinkan hojo dosa for ushiro waza ryotemochi....Yoshinkan leads for strikes, slide attacks/grabs as well as cross-stepping, etc. Its been a slow process but, gradual and consistent. |
