Koryu Dai Ni (Ni Kata)

Koryu Dai Ni Notes

from Patrick Parker

Koryu Dai Ni – 16 techniques – all tachiwaza and taijutsu – no suwariwaza or weapons techniques.

Section A1 – wrist grab variations

These first three state the themes that will be seen throughout… small footwork (think basketball traveling), powerful hip turning and shifting, stability, control instead of projection

katatedori katagatame (start thumb-down, r4, katagatame – like “thread the needle”)
ryotedori sokumen iriminage (r3 both sides, slip in with elbow, j3 or j4)
ryotedori iriminage (try preceding, golf swing, break the hinge, iriminage)

Section A2- ushirowaza

Four sets paired techniques, attacks alternate right-left, attacks get progressively closer/tighter

Ushiro Ryotemochi:

*kotegaeshi (L hand frees R hand, slide down L thigh, kotegaeshi)
*jujigarame nage (r5, back up, lock both wrists)
ushiro katate-eri-mochi:
*gyakugamaeate (push in hole, twist free, return with j3 or j4)
*oshitaoshi (push in hole, duck under collar hand, oshitaoshi)
ushiro ryokatamochi:
*tenkaikotehineri (when released, r hand grabs uke’s left, tenkai)
*kotegaeshi (when released, l hand grabs uke’s right, kotegaeshi)
ushiro katate-kubishime:
*oshitaoshi nage (r5, mawashi, back up, oshitaoshi)
*jujigarami nage (r5, switch hand, hineri, pick up other hand, juji)

Section B – yokomenuchi

These are interesting because the “normal condition” appears to be intercepting the incoming strike in a position of weakness – then the last two are adjustments to “fix” when you start to intercept in a position of power.

Ukiotoshi (enter opposite, tenkan, r4, hot potato, otoshi)
Kokyunage (enter opposite, pivot, flywheel, otoshi like in owaza)
Shomenate (evade opposite, enter same-footed, shomenate)
Sukashinage (begin to enter same-footed, drop at back knee)
Hikiotoshi (enter same-footed, switch feet, retreat same-footed)

Testimonials

I was quite surprised by the size and atmosphere of this Dojo. VERY friendly people to train with, especially Lowry Sensei himself. He always made sure we were comfortable, very hospitable, and made himself very accessible. I CAN’T wait to go there again!!! I highly recommend this Dojo for serious training.

Art M.

The best place for budo, not just in OKC or even Oklahoma, but regionally. Nick Lowry sensei has something to offer everyone.

Neil M.

This is such a great place. Of course, the Aikido techniques are sound, but the people and practitioners are some of the finest people I have ever met. You will have fun and learn a lot about yourself as well.

Eric F.

I came from a program where they really didn’t seem to want me. When I walked into Windsong, I was greeted, my questions were answered, and I was welcomed to participate. So, at Windsong: I was welcomed. I was included. I was accepted. I was instructed with patience. My progress was celebrated. I felt a balance of encouragement and challenge. No matter what age I reach, I will still be working on applications from what I learned at Windsong.

Danny V. - Oklahoma

I think that it’s a bodacious place with excellent people from the top down to the beginner.

Richard P.

I travel from Fl. to learn at this dojo, and will continue to do so.

David S. - Florida

Everyone in windsong is so nice! I can feel improving everyday! So lucky to recognize you guys!

Yue G.

Tradition meets science in the arts of self defense. Awesome in every way.

Wayne G.

Knowledgeable instructors who treat you like family. The goal is to learn each art without getting injured in the process.

Nate M.

Just started taking classes here for Aikido. This is a great dojo with the best floor I’ve ever been on for training. The general feel is very laid back and inviting with still keeping a traditional aura. The people that I’ve met so far have also been very pleasant and eager to teach and learn.
