What is you're favorite technique?
I just happened to be curious...
Aikido has come a long way, and there are so many techniques, and so many variations
and situations differ upon which they're applied....
With all this in mind, it might be intresting to see from all of you... what IS your favorite technique? and why?

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
Hi
I don't think that I have a favorite technique to do just for the fun of it or any reason along those lines. But I do have techniques from which I like to learn from; these being any form of Kokyu-Ho or Kokyu-Ho Nage, Shiho Nage and also Ikkyo. Because I find that these are the basics of Aikido which I think Kanetsuka Sensei is stressing to learn thoroughly (I think so anyway)

All the atemi-waza, some sutemi-waza, a little kansetsu-waza mix it with a little uki-waza, stir, shake and you got a perfect tokui-waza.

Shiho-nage is many people's favourite. I find that it is one of the few techniques that is applicable in all situation. Yeah, definitely in my tokui-waza (Most favoured technique list).

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
I'll throw my two cents in for shihonage, as well. It's an easily applicable technique for me, since I'm on the shorter side, but it has enough subtlety and nuance that I find myself relearning it every time I try it.
My favorite technique to take ukemi for is kotegaeshi. I find that I have a lot of fun putting a fair amount of sincerity in my tsuki or shomenuchi and feeling how effortlessly all of that energy gets redirected to the mat when the technique is applied just right.

Shomenuchi iriminage.
My current fave. That could change, though. But right now, I looooooooooooooove doing that one!

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
Presently irimi nage, b/c you can get to it from so many different positions, apply a choke from it, gently let you partner down or put some "whose your daddy" on it, turn it into a koshi nage, can manifest it with minimal or no attack and still get the desired effect with great results. Will probably change my mind in a week, but for now, that's my opinion.

Yep love the feeling of Sumi Otoshi, especialy with a nice tenkan at the beginning. Also Ude Kime Nage is a nice one as well.

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
Aww man so many (thousands) do I have to choose one???
Well now that my sensei worked out the kinks in my movements, it's gotta be either shihonage or iriminage or sokumen iriminage. Just fun to do!
to watch? Heel Palms haha

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
Shomen uchi rokkyo with a bokken. It seems so natural to me. We've only done it a few times in weapons class but it's easily my number one favorite.
I especially like the "pleading" hands reaching for uke's wrist at the beginning.
Absolutely least favorite is any kind of irimi nage mostly because I stink at it.

Me too! Me too!
I find my body wanting to do irimi nage whenever I get the chance to do freestyle or I mess up another technique. It's also cool because it can be very martial or "fluffy" depending on the situation.

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
You know, my fave technique right now is iriminage. But during freestyle, I do an awful lot of kaitennage.
Interesting.....

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
I have to confess... I love shihonage for reasons of vanity...
ok ok i know its thats not right,
but still, its Fun to do, I don't stink at it, and particularly love the 4 direction variation on the movement... and most of all... when executed right, It looks so awesome!

Re: What is you're favorite technique?
I'd love to know what my current favourite is...
We were running through a couple of hours of Jiyu Waza last week; I projected away one uke and turned to immediately find another uke right in my face...
I stepped inside his yokomen uchi strike and did something between an irimi-nage and a koshinage; hand sliding up over his shoulder leading his head (irimi nage type technique) and stepping through with the hip with something like a koshinage... ultra cool and very very effective... only to be told by sensei that I would not be allowed to use it in my upcoming grading

Can anyone translate the above for me? I don't know those.
My favorite is a bastard technique, of course!
Kaiten Nage when you have the arm like normal and grab lapel instead of getting behind the head, wait I'm not done!, and if you pivot right uke does this big flip with no effort!
Yeah!
