I've uploaded many replays over the period of a few months. I have another that I feel good about and was hoping some one had something to say about it.

As well I was hoping I am ready to join the organization.

Thanks for the feedback.

you stand on the wrong leg again...
avoid extending knees.

What i like most about aikido: Aikido has always been a mode that i've always enjoyed, at worst, it's a tripod match inc/ shoveling, but at it's best, it's a flowing work of kinetic art.
There is a certain thrill that's associated with manipulating and controlling an opponent.
Furthermore, aikido is associated with certain finesse not shared amongst the other competitive martial arts, as it's about the execution and style.

I accept the doctrine/philosophy of this org: if everyone played the same way as this org did, i would never get bored. I whole-heartedly accept this philosophy, and not only try to live by it, but spread it to others.

(Though not needed, i provided 2 slow singleplayer replays that demonstrates 2 simple aikido/judo techniques that seemed relevant to this thread)

there are interesting replays, and i'm positive on you, but try and get one with falling back and throw with full chest rotation and you are pretty much in

reminder to everyone: KEEP KNEES ON HOLD WHEN SEMI-CONTRACTED TO GET SHORTER ARC OF THROW
I find that relaxing my wrist helps with that. I still em ,but not as frequent as I thing you are.

It's a rare match that I actually contract my wrists. Lately in quickAK my wrists break off in the middle of a throw and I go limp against everyone else who contracts wrists. I earlier matches I hadn't, but good thing you're all on your toes.
Thanks again though for the feedback though. It means a lot with how many years I have into this game.
So now that I've gotten pretty unanimous yes, what do I do now.
Do you need more or better replays?

you will show you have solid balance and i'm adding you.

the whole deal about contracting wrist on 1st turn is the fact that scrubs go for inner grab, whic is the gayest thing i could imagine after bruno and his chinise boyfrrend

everything was great except arm should be raised instead of contracting, to avoid issues with balance

I guess add them if they make the cut though? O.o

yeah, you are pretty much in now, tho i see you pull people with both pecs extended, be carefull since you may get locked like this and loose alot of speed on spin, so try to always keep one pec extended and another contracted.

to see what i mean try to play against abd players/duelers, since they counter throws the same way they counter lifts - by raising both arms and extending both pecs with contracted wrists, which in case of you extending both pecs aswell lead to you being locked and you waste around 20 frams more to finish the throw.

the reason i "pick on" every sigle minor "mistake" is because i've learned each of these little things by loosing because of it. eather chest lock, or being shaken out of balance when one arm is not raised or upper elbow contracted too early, so i hope you will not repeat my mistakes and get the base, which give you pretty much rock-solid stability with least amount of risk envolved (compared to usual for throws ofc) and knowing each window you can be countered on, to be more sucessfull and win against not only random folks at quick aikido, but also abd players and duelers.
