4-Day Randori Intensive George Ledyard Sensei
The 2014 Four Day Randori Intensive will focus on developing an advanced understanding of multiple attacker principles and strategies. This intensive will not have the weapons work of past intensives and will have a tight focus on systematically developing the attendee's randori skills. We will use slow / medium speed flow drills,, reviewing waza skills, and other creative technique to prepare the attendee for any type of Aikido randori. We will practice empty hand randori, small space randori, hanmi handachi randori, randori against tanto, randori against shinai attack and mixed weapons. An emphasis will be placed on applying "aiki" principles in the empty hand technique to make the practitioner more efficient and effective. We have been holding this event for 25 years
