Improving your aikido throws by practicing them while on your knees

Greetings everyone,



As a beginner student in Aikido, I am enjoying my aikido classes.



Say, somewhere along the line I heard from someone, I can’t remember exactly who or where, either before I recently started taking aikido class or perhaps shortly thereafter, that an aikido student can help to advance his or her aikido skill by practicing the aikido techniques or throws while they are on their knees. I believe that wherever I heard this from, this person was possibly inferring that, for instance, either, no. 1 or no. 2, below.



1. Nage or Tori practices the technique with Uke while they both go through the motions of the technique together from their knees. Thus, they both remain kneeling on their knees, as opposed to both Nage and Uke otherwise going through the moves of the technique while standing up on their feet. Or,



2. Nage practices the technique on his knees, alone, going through the motions as if there was also an Uke present with him who was also kneeling on his knees.



I already went to YouTube.com and searched on the keywords, “aikido techniques performed on knees”, as well as, “aikido techniques on knees”. What I get returned to me are mostly videos on the “Aikido knee drop technique”, or videos on Shikko knee walking, or other aikido videos on techniques not related to working on one’s knees in order to perform aikido throws.



Thus, can someone possibly recommend or refer me to some good aikido videos related to this, that is, showing Nage executing, for instance, say, the complete throw of iriminage from his knees, or, say, shominage, ikkyo, or any other aikido throw while he is moving around the floor on his knees, either alone, or with Uke?



Any responses would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you very much.



The best to all,

Greetings!
