The basics are
Position, posture and timing
Only then start the "but"s

J'ai failli me blesser gravement à la hanche/col du fémur ce soir à l' #aikido
J'ai eu du bol, c'est pas passé loin j'ai l'impression.

Three pairs on the mat
Quiet focused work on details
Shared dedication 

@Setok
I found a product specification for this kind of mats. They are explicitly marketed as REGUPOL tatami #Aikido

Find out more about our REGUPOL tatami aikido mat - a special feeling for barefoot sports and exercises, suitable for training and competitions.

@Setok But I strongly assume that the mats of #Regupol different.
The Core development of Regupol is the recycling of Rubber products to sheets of milled rubber.
Those are used for all kinds of sports, acoustics, construction, flooring and stables for horses.
For sport .e.g the runway of berlin olympic stadium is made from Regupol.
So those sheets are the core for the mats, and then there is a canvas. For #Judo ususally vinyl, #Aikido perfers cotton to be able to slide on it without burns

First moment of contact
Firm, soft and right direction
Uke just melts down
