I wonder, sometimes, about the footwork of aikido.

If you look at photos of the old aikijujitsu the lead foot was straight with the body slightly angled, so as to protect the groin area, I think. Whereas, in Yoshinkan Aikido the lead foot is turned outward and the hips are square, facing uke.

I wonder why this was changed? I think I will ask Sensei. OSU.
