Thanks for finding. Only a word about that " mysterious" Daito-ryu sumo Shiko that is not the same as the Sumo Shiko, I had hoped for some in depth explaination of that exercise

If you want to learn more about the exercise itself, the Aunkai guys explain it quite well. But if you rather want to track down whether Aunkai guys got it from Daito-ryu or not, well, that will be a bit of challenge I'd personally also want to find out if it has to do anything with Daito-ryu, because right now it seems like this claim materialized only after Aunkai had got some traction.

If partner exercises is the foundation of Aiki, it would be interesting to see a connection between the solo exercises and partner work. For instance, if I see Tai Chi standing exercise, I know exactly what is meant and how to translate into partner practice. But I have no clue about how what he says here translates into partner work.

Without proper detailed instruction, they would just be "externalized" and simply performed as part of the warm-up routine at the beginning of each Aikido class.
