The class is a partnered Aikido-oriented technical session moving from global body preparation into wrist/arm control entries, then toward tactical decision-making in conflict. The instructor alternates movement drilling (breath, mobility, footwork, seiza transitions) with technique refinement (especially shoulder/wrist grabs, omote/ura/kihon structures, pin options, and side-switch variants), and repeatedly ties execution to strategy: spacing, timing, and force management. The latter section transitions into verbal scripting and conflict-process framing, emphasizing flexible responses over fixed scripts, with a recurring safety/continuum mindset around dominance, control, and de-escalation.
The library listed every class and drafted the name on each one from its transcript. The classes are Brandon's; the names are the machine's until he approves them.
