Tai No Henko Ni

Mon, 06/11/2012 - 23:19 — Disarmy

Basic Movement - Aikido - Beginner - White Belt

Description

Literally "body change motion #2", it is referred to in English by the more descriptive "95 degree pivot".

The technique is related to the turning & opening (tenkan) motion that begins most of the #2 techniques. For example, it is the initial movement in Sokumen Irimi Nage Ni (Side step-in throw #2), which it precedes in the Kihon Dosa To Kanren Waza sequence.

Like the other basic movements, Tai No Henko Ni has three forms: Solo, with Partner and with Sword. The solo and with partner versions are show in the video at right.

As well, the movement is demonstrated in the video below, starting at 0:47s, along with its sister movement, Tai No Henko Ichi.

  • Edit the page using the 'Edit' tab above.
  • Request the creation of a new page by adding a link to potential topics, using [[ ]]
  • Additions can be point form, expanding an existing paragraph, original writing, helping correct spelling, grammar or clarity, adding wiki syntax to non-wiki content, adding links to existing internet content, etc… Additions need not be complete or even well-crafted in order to move the content building forward.
  • Discuss page concepts and content using the 'Discussion' tab above.

Site Syntax

Notations that can be used while editing a page:

  • Sub-Headings: ==Top level sub-heading (H2)==, ===Second level (H3)===, ====Third level (H4)====, etc… An automatic table of contents will be generated using these.
  • Links: put square brackets [[ ]] around a word to create a link to an existing page, or to prompt the creation of a new page. Additional syntax permits [[<Page title for link>|<Text to appear on page>]] as well as alternate links such as [[wikipedia:<page title>|<text to appear>]].
  • Templates: {{Stub}}, {{WIP}} Work in progress. {{Wiki}} Page contains unformatted (non-wiki) content
