How to Do a Karate Dori in Aikido
Karate is the most famous form of martial arts. It prepares you mentally and physically to cope up with your enemies. Furthermore, it makes your mind stronger to control your body moves. It was originated from Japan, but with the passage of time it spread in the whole world and has been considered as one of the best form of self-defence.
Katate Dori is a very important move in Karate in which you hold or grab the wrist of your opponent in order to initiate the attack. It can be done by two ways. First, it can be performed by Gyaku Hamni style in which opposite foot goes forward and second, by Ai hamni in which the same foot goes forward.
