In the below video Chicko Xerri Sensei explores some of the key Aiki principles and concepts for absorbing and redirecting an attack.  These principles and concepts include:

•  Waiting until the attack is fully committed before attempting to defeat it;
• Timing when addressing an attack;
• Using equal energy contact in Aikido practice;
• Responding to an attack by welcoming, absorbing and then creating technique.
