In this short from the Aiki Dojo Podcast, Ito Sensei from the Aikido Center of Los Angeles discusses how after the tachiai or initial moment of contact whatever you do becomes Aikido, Karate, Judo, etc and thus the timing and spacing of all martial arts is essentially the same.

An excerpt from The Aiki Dojo Podcast - Obstacles in Training
In this episode of the Aiki Dojo podcast, we discuss obstacles in training. Obstacles can be physical, mental, philosophical or even spiritual. The topics vary from injury to discouragement. No matter who we are or how long we have been training, we will always be confronted with obstacles.

The Aiki Dojo Podcast’s goal is to translate traditional Aikido and traditional martial arts training into the modern world. The podcast is hosted by David Ito Sensei who is the Chief Instructor of the Aikido Center of Los Angeles and he brings brings over 30 years of Aikido training to the podcast. The podcast is co-hosted by Ken Watanabe Shihan, Mike Van Ruth, Aikido 4th Dan, and Bill D'Angelo, Aikido 4th Dan. Let us know if you have a topic that you would like Ito Sensei and the team to discuss in the next podcast.

Enjoy!
