Mae Geri – Kata Guruma
⛩️ Source
This excerpt comes from a news segment broadcast by Hokkaido Television Broadcasting (HTB) in Japan, likely as part of a regional news program in Hokkaido, featuring Alain Floquet visiting the Daitōkan and training in Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu under Tokimune Takeda at the Kitakawachi Dojo. The broadcast is estimated to date from the early 1990s (approximately 1990–1992). The footage was reportedly provided by Eiichi Kawazoe, who was an uchideshi (live-in disciple) of Tokimune from 1982 to 1986.
🔖 Technique Notes
Uke attacks with a Mae Geri. Tori enters to the inside, lowering his posture and seizing Uke’s now rear hand. As he rises, Uke’s kicking leg comes onto Tori’s shoulder at the back of the thigh, and with continued lifting, Uke’s body is carried across Tori’s shoulders. Tori then steps across in the direction Uke’s feet are pointing, causing Uke to roll over his shoulders and fall onto his back, completing the Kata Guruma.
