Diamond Kata

[Daiki Taiyu]

The Diamond Kata is one of the four major Aikibojitsu Kata; it contains a wealth of information regarding connectivity between short forms, energy flow, and overall timing.

Note at the 15-second mark, just prior to the Complex Form called the Fire Triplet, there is a moment of expectant waiting, not dead or absent, but completely present with utter potential in stillness. In Aikibojitsu, we call this Potential, while the strike itself is referred to as Manifested.
