Re: Any offensive moves in Aikido?
Usually one first learns the techniques as a response to an attack.
Example: Uke (the attacking partner) attacks with a straight punch to the chest and Nage (the one practicing the technique) responds with a technique.
However, it is possible for nage to attack first, with say, a punch to the face to elicit a reaction. If uke raises his hand to block, nage can then execute a technique on the blocking hand.
It's also possible to attack with a direct iriminage.
