Taigi's were
developed by Tohei Sensei to enhance the Ki connection or coordination
between the Uke (one who is thrown) and Nage (one who throws). Along with the connection
Taigi's are designed
to promote rhythm and timing along with a calm mind for both Uke and Nage.
Yearly a pseudo competition is held where participants perform a specific
set of Taigi arts that changes from year to year. This is not a competition
using common definition, the participants are not encouraged to compete against
each other but to compete against their own past performances.
Taigi's are also
timed to help gauge the rhythm and timing of the
techniques. There are 31
Taigi's, each one is usually made up of 6 Aikido
techniques, each being performed on the left then the right before moving on
to the next Aikido technique.
The schedule of
Taigi's to be taught weekly is posted
in dojo
The typical sequence is, the first week the
instructor breaks the techniques down in a one by one sequence. The second week focuses on fine tuning
with rhythm and
timing.
Taigi's are a sequence of Aikido techniques done to
promote rhythm and timing while maintaining mind body coordination by the
Nage (one who throws) and Uke (one who is thrown).
