striking in Aikido
Hi everyone
I would like to know everybody's opinions on the striking that is practiced in aikido
I have been given many different ideas by different people. follow through is a constant in all of them but there seems to be some change as to how to follow through
the other day i was told that a shomen uchi should follow through and almost hit the floor if there is no nage, similar with yokomen uchi, it seems that I am asked ot follow through to an unreasonable level
I have a back ground in Karate and other striking arts, a lot of the things i am told in Aikido about striking go against what i would do as a puncher
has anybody else come across this, or train differently?
