Kotagaeshi is always so much fun as either Tori/Shite or Uke. There are so many variations. I am always learning new details and ways to apply it and it looks amazing too.
Is it aikido without Kuzushi??
An important point of Aikido practice is off-balance your opponent and stabilize yourself. I’ve seen lately many techniques being done with little movement, this is good in practice, but different to preform in truth… Through distance, timing, and structure, we create kuzushi—not to destroy, but to create clarity. When balance is broken and your own center is secure, you gain the ability to decide what happens next. Aikido is not about forcing an outcome. It is about creating the position where the correct outcome becomes possible. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8xBXee2/

Kuzushi is fundamental to all Aikido. You shouldn't be doing a technique without it. When we look at techniques, we should always consider at what point is kuzushi.
