Description

http://www.aunkai.net/eng/shop/index.htmlAunkai is an “internal” martial art based on principles from taiji, xingyi, daito-ryu aikijujutsu, yagyu shingan ryu, and yagyu shinkage ryu. There are no forms, simply developmental exercises taken from the arts mentioned previously, partner drills, and fighting. This is a great development tool particularly for aikidoka trying to develop some of the more esoteric skills that Morihei Ueshiba was able to exhibit or for taiji players whose instructors can only teach the external. Remember, it takes years to develop these skills properly and your duty is to analyze your body as much as possible when practicing and then to test it in partner drills and fighting. Self-correction is very difficult and unfortunately there are not many study groups for this art yet as it is incredibly modern and very demanding. This DVD introduces the first steps of the Aunkai training method.It is intended as review material for beginners, especially those who have attended seminars with Akuzawa sensei.On the DVD, a senior student demonstrates exercises that make up Aunkai’s foundation training method, with commentary and corrections by Akuzawa-sensei, and accompanied by an English translation.
