You should always be pushing and extending your arms during an aikido technique; there are no techniques where you pull without extending.
Sankyo move is from 3rd bokken suburi (Hasso), where you bring boken up and then back beside your ear.
Evading the attack and taking uke's balance are more important than performing the technique.
When throwing, your rear leg must make firm contact with the ground in order to have a powerful throw.
get out of way | evade, escape (but still keep 'connection' with uke) |
take uke's balance | kuzushi |
do technique | kake |
strong follow thru stance | zanshin 'remaining spirit' |
basic (static) | kotai or kihon | this is fallback technique if others don't work |
moving | jutai | looks the same as kihon but easier to do since uke is in motion |
flowing | ki no gare | drawing out and blending with uke |
