Video Aikido Adapted - rolling block/deflection explanation.

I was asked by a viewer to do a slower version of the deflection I use in my clip about deflecting a roundhouse punch into a sankyo wrist control. This is my explanation of what I am doing. Hope its helpful.

The rolling block (or deflection) pushes uke's punch slightly back toward him as it rises. Also, when I work faster in this deflection I sink my body somewhat.

Gambatte Okudasai!
