Throwing their weight around in Aikido TechniquesThere was more than a kernel of truth in the joke aikido instructor Jack Simpson told after leading students through three rounds of push-ups - sets of 50 for those able and willing - and a couple of sets of an ab exercise in aikido techniques.
Class is mainly composed of lying on the mat and breathing heavily, Simpson said, drawing a few laughs from students who rested on their backs before moving to the third set of ab work.
But as the Wednesday night class progressed, it became clear that even after the stretching and warm-ups on the mat, in aikido, you must get used to being on the mat.
You must learn to love the floor.
It is primarily a throwing art, where we use the energy of the opponent against them to throw them and later pin them, Simpson said. |
