I just saw a demonstration of aikijujutsu and a lot of it looked familiar. It seemed, to my untrained eye, to move from the grab, to uke's wrist, to the elbow, to the shoulder and sometimes the back. Each successive twist incorporating pain. It was a real eye-opener to me.
There were a lot of irimi nage type moves but they didn't look as familiar to me as the wrist and even foot-grabs
.
The sensei Kuyama sp? ( kee ama) showed the final techniques but everything looked much more painful than anything I've done in the dojo.
Is this where O Sensei started?
