Aikido technique SHIHONAGE, the OMOTE and URA forms, by Stefan Stenudd

Here is the aikido technique shihonage applied against a few basic grip and strike attacks. There are two versions of shihonage: omote (front) and ura (back). I show both versions. The difference is where you go in front of or behind the attacker. Shihonage (四方投げ) is one of the basic aikido throwing techniques (nage waza). Its name four directions throw indicates the link to the Japanese sword arts, where shihogiri (four directions cut) is a basic exercise. Shihonage is done in a way quite similar to cutting with katana, the twohanded Japanese sword. I ve written extensively about the shihonage technique here: Uke was Stephan Schröder This is a condensed edit of a 2017 video: My aikido dojo is Enighet in Malmö, Sweden: Fo
