Shoji Nishio (1993 LA) Shihonage

A study of shihonage with Shoji Nishio Sensei. “The common method of shihonage has a problem. In most aikido this cannot be used in a real fighting situation... Of course there is always punching and kicking in martial arts. So if you can’t defend against that it’s not good... First we have to make our position such that we can’t be attacked.“ ~Shoji Nishio Shihan
