Re: Exercises for developing the centre (center)

Hi folks,

I'm looking for ways to develop my centre... This for me seems to be the most difficult thing to grasp, and it almost seems like the holy grail, if you can develop how to hold your centre then, it seems, you become good at Aikido.

I would like to know if they're any exercises that you think would aid in this process... Do, for example, the rowing exercises (can't remember the name) help?

Many thanks

Dave
Whenever I execute a Taisubaki, I would imagine holding a huge exercise ball (about 3 feet in diameter) in my arms, protecting it from harm.
