Re: Progression of Hip/Lower torso movement

You cannot make a person 'see' it your way, be it right or wrong.
There is no good or bad, only different.

Find opportunities to meet people and show what you do. Then they can decide for themselves if that is what they are looking for, or may have an interest in. In discussions relate to aspects (training, teaching, philosophical) you think they may have a problem with in their current style. That would make people wonder, perhaps build an interest.

So back on topic: would the difference between #2 and #3 not be focus? I have already made the comparision with mae ukemi. That had overlap but was not quite it.
What would need to change to arrive at #3?

In a real fight:
* If you make a bad decision, you die.
* If you don't decide anything, you die.
Aikido teaches you how to decide.
