Capital Aikido Federation

Some Classic Clyde to brighten your May.
What do I see when I watch this? * Control your space, don't worry about Uke's space, that's theirs. * Control up and down, straight up, and straight down. * After a connection point is established (by yourself or by Uke), move your whole body to the place where you can best control it.
What stands out to you?

P.S. Most of the Uke in this video are, or were, instructors at Capital Aikikai or our affiliate dojos (such as Allegheny Aikikai Aikido and Syracuse Aikido). And a special shout out to Dan Palmer for hosting these videos on youtube.
