Re: Without this, No Aikido
For me, all of the following ,ust be present for a practice to be Korindo Aikido
It has to have a M.A. feel
Korindo Tai-Sabaki
Randori
Kata practice (technique)
Weapons practice is an option which does have it's proper place, but not from the first lessons.
Of course, Tai-Sabaki and Randori can be done in other M.A. as well, but Korindo Tai-Sabaki is specific way of moving, and one has to see it and proper harmonizing spirit in the Randori.
