I remember long times ago some of beginners ask me if there could be injuries happened in Aikido Training and is there Insurance Program to handle this?.
Yes there are many injuries can occur. One of My Kohai got injured around his elbow's ligament and cured after 3 months.
Another injury happened when we practiced near the wall, one of the uke was too near to the wall and when he did ukemi his head bumped to the wall and his skinhead was broken, The broken skinhead was like a logo of Mercedes Benz Car. He was unconscious for a few minutes and got amnesia for about few hours.
However, there is No Insurance Program to handle this kind of injuries, not Health Insurance nor Accident Insurance.
So, I just want to tell you the Practitioners of Aikido, Please be careful in Aikido Training, because as I know there is No Insurance in Aikido Training and Martial arts in General.
Is there any Insurance for Martial Arts Activities??
If there is a dojo which have injuries insurance in their programs, please just be careful also.... :)

How To Keep Weight Underside
Keep weight Underside, meant placing the entire body weight on the bottom, meaning the feet, so the foot of the focus areas is the 'balls' which close to the finger toe.
So, it will look like 'tiptoe' but did not tiptoe. All the foot remains in contact with the floor or ground.
By this way, foot movement to go forward, backward, will be lighter and faster, gliding, of course after properly trained. But do not forget the principle of "Keep one Point", which has been described earlier.
We can train it by Tenkan and Ibodashi also in 'ashi-sabaki' (footwork).
In Training with Tenkan, we do tenkan continuously so that we as a whirling.
Initially will feel dizzy. If the head feels dizzy, this indicates we forgot the 'Center' or 'One Point" and also we do not breath regularly/ properly. So, if felt dizzy, immediately set breath and return our center.
In addition, when moving, Kamae position must be stable, not 'up-and-down', assuming that above our head is concrete-roof.
At least, this exercise tenkan around 30 counts, and then increased to 50 count and so on.
With this practice as expected, we can know more about one-Point/center and put weight on the balls of the feet, and maintain the balance of the body.
Hopefully useful,

How To Keep One Point
One of the 4 Principles of Aikido is to 'Keep one Point".
Freely translated means 'focus' or 'center'.
Center point of Aikidoka (perhaps also the people) is in 'hara or tantien or seika no itten', a point which is located about 2 inch below the navel, in physics called 'center of gravity' or 'central point of the mass of the human'. It does not own physical shape.
To learn to recognize that point, we can start by remembering when we really-really want to urinate. That's is the area and just drawn forth near to back spine.
For women the thing is more easily, if remember the point of pain in lower stomach during menstruation, then the point is around there.
Another way to recognize 'One Point' is as follows:
1. Standing with the relaxed body, legs opened as wide as shoulder.
2. Lift one hand (right for example) to as high as shoulder, so the hand about 90 degrees to the body.
3. When lifting the hand, concentrate to the area around below the navel, feels what happens.
4. Hand still in position, then lift one leg (with the same hand up), feels what happens around below the navel
5. Silent a moment, about 2-3 seconds, the concentration is still around below the navel.
6. Lower hand and feet simultaneously with the normal speed, not too slow or too fast.
When the 'sense' could have felt, then we can train to lift and lower it slower or faster, and practice to maintain the 'one-point'.
Usually something will be felt around under the stomach caused by changes in the location of the center point of gravity of the body.
Once you recognize the point, 'familiarize' the point by always make it as the center of every movements and activities everyday, from walking, sitting, standing, running, lifting the scoop, closing the door, etc. Even when we ride Motorcycle, Bicycle, Driving Car (with Car Insurance :)), Playing Golf in Golf Course, etc. Then more trained in the techniques of Aikido.
Always Be patient and persistent...
