Shaun Hoddy (Essex Aikido Dojo Shoshinkan) will be teaching the Koryu Dai Roku.





The Koryu no Kata are a series of traditional forms developed to preserve, study and practise the fundamental principles and techniques of Aikido. They provide a structured way of exploring movement, timing, distance, balance breaking (kuzushi) and the application of technique.



The Koryu Dai Roku is recognised to be the most complicated and difficult Koryu-no-Kata. It is the only Koryu-no-Kata to include techniques where Tori (or Toshu) are armed with the knife (Tanto).



Key aspects of the kata are:




Slow, smooth and flowing kneeling techniques.



The speed of the standing techniques steadily increases and ends in a crescendo.
