About Me
- uchi deshi
- I am an uchi deshi - that is to say, a live-in student at an Aikido dojo under the tutelage of Sensei, our teacher. This is a personal account of life as an uchi deshi training in Southern California. When I moved in over 4 years ago there were 9 of us - 6 men and 3 women. There are now 6 uchi deshis living at the dojo - 5 men and 1 woman. The dojo cat has moved on.

It' interesting that ya'll's shihonage is a big fall. Ours is a simple back fall.
I saw a shihan do something interesting to make you take a big fall from shihonage.
After stepping under the arm, turning your body, and twisting and bending the arm back as in standard shihonage, he would twist a little to tip the uke in front of the nage, then nage made a big slide forward, making contact with the hip to project the uke out into a big fall.
He called it "hajiki-goshi".
That's sounds like something I saw at an East Coast summer camp. I didn't know it had a name. I thought it was just something extra to add at the end of the shihonage to pound the uke harder
