Re: Atemi ga ii

I believe Goza Shioda also said in Aikido Shugyo that atemi could be striking with any part of the body. That being said, everything we practice can be said to be towards that goal because we work on weight, balance, timing and, of course, the suppleness of the front knee.

Just a thought,
