Re: Tomiki\Hombu Difference?

I think the term is renraku 連絡 waza meaning connected, linked or chain techniques. This term is used in Kodokan Judo practice and many of Tomiki Sensei's students were also judoka so the term was used for linked or "a chain" of techniques. This sort of understanding of connected techniques is used by well-trained judoka everywhere I've trained in the world. The term henka 変化 waza, meaning modified, or a variation is not the same.

The place where renraku waza is really developed is in randori geiko. The practice in most aikido systems that is called randori is not the same as judo randori geiko or the randori of those who have trained in Tomiki Sensei's aiki method.

Best regards,
