• Defense In Motion - (MATS)
  Green and up » Sensei David Killian

  Cuong Nhu self-defense and aikido share a common approach to learning technique: static positioning of attacker (uke) and defender (nage/tori). However, in aikido particularly the form of the techniques changes when both parties are in motion. This class examines footwork and timing drawn from aikido that are key to the dynamic execution of technique, as well as uke’s responsibility in the training process. This class focuses on avoidance, rather than engagement, with uke. Basic tumbling (ukemi) skills are required. Students should be comfortable with forward and backward roles and side drop.
