We cannot sensibly put 100% into the attacks and risk needless injury; equally we are not putting 100% force into the defences for the same reason. We cannot deliver the strikes we might employ in a real situation or vary the techniques in the way we might if we wanted to harm someone, the possibilities have to be taken as read. We are demonstrating Aikido principles which the skilled Aikidoka may employ and which may not be obvious to the observer. There are definitely Aikidoka out there who are not employing these principles and may as a consequence be of the opinion that Aikido doesn't work.
Good work 🎅🇵🇱
👍👏
Gents please learn to deliver meaningful attacks

@mraffabilityGB I am not suggesting attempting to hurt each other. I am suggesting your punches are very much not real.
