In the below videos Morihiro Saito Sensei (1928-2002) provides instruction on the traditional (basic) versions of Katatedori ikkyo (omote and ura) as practised by O’Sensei (the Founder of Aikido) in the immediate post-war period of his life.  The demonstrations are given from a static attack in the form of a same side wrist grab (katatedori).

Katatedori ikkyo is typically one of the first techniques learnt by newer students to Aikido practice.
