How this search works
Every word of every class is indexed, and the dojo handbook answers alongside the classes. Your search bridges English and Japanese/Aikido vocabulary (falling ↔ ukemi, breath ↔ kokyu, off balance ↔ kuzushi), then ranks the best class moments. Results open at the exact point in the class; several matches in one class are grouped into a single card.
