Re: Favourite technique in Aikido?

This was answered for me during a 2 yrs hiatus for surgery/rehab, during which I had waking dreams of falling/rolling and found myself "doing aikido" unbidden in visualizations and small muscle movements while reading, walking, etc.: curiously there were only 2 body movement patterns that showed up consistently, neither ones I'd have called "favorites" if asked, but clearly resonating in my system the most: one was picking up sankyo from a shoulder grab and the other was sayonage/sokumen iriminage.
It was odd, to say the least....
related to this post as this realization came to me during a surgery rehabilitation.

My favorite technique:BOWING.
