Introduction to Kaiten Nage
The kaiten nage, or rotational throw, is demonstrated as a fundamental technique in aikido and related disciplines. This throw utilizes circular motion and the opponent's momentum to execute a clean takedown.
Positioning and Entry
The instructor establishes proper stance and distance management as the foundation for the technique. Correct footwork and body alignment are essential before engaging with the incoming attack.
Receiving the Attack
The defender receives a tsuki (straight punch) attack from the partner. This linear attack provides the momentum necessary to convert into rotational throwing mechanics.
Initial Deflection
Upon contact with the incoming punch, the defender deflects the attack away from center line. This initial redirection sets up the rotational component of the throw.
Rotation and Hip Engagement
The defender pivots on the base leg, rotating the hips to generate circular momentum. This hip rotation transfers power through the core and into the throwing arm.
Completion and Execution
The rotational motion culminates in the defender executing the throw by extending through the opponent's center of gravity. The attacker is lifted and rotated over the defender's hip to complete the technique.

Kaiten Nage é uma técnica de Aikido, mas também é encontrada em formas similares no Sumô. É uma técnica básica, que pode ser feita de duas formas, Uchi e Soto (dentro e fora). Nesse vídeo, exploro a forma Uchi. Existem inúmeras maneiras de aplicá-la , aqui demonstro, o que na minha visão, seja a forma básica e algumas variações possíveis que utilizo na minha prática.
