Korindo Aikido - Forms of the short sword No. 1 (kodachi, ken tai ken)

The use of kodachi stands between the use of weapons like sword, staff or lance and Aikido without using a weapons (taijutsu). During the movement it is possible to switch over from the use of the blade to taijutsu and vice versa. Here you can see a selection of forms based on the principle of spherical rotation "enten-mukyū" or "koshi-mawari". Sword against sword movements are shown here. Like all forms practised in Korindo Aikido, the forms itself are just a vehicle to acquire "koshi-mawari" as unique mindset that is able to spawn a mode of round and spherical movement of the body accordingly.
