Konishi Sensei developed the kata called Tai Sabaki (Body Movement). He based this kata on karate, but incorporated principles found in the teachings of Ueshiba Sensei. Though the new kata did not contain any complex movements, it consisted of a chain of actions, with no pause after each action.
After the demonstration of this kata by Konishi Soke, Ueshiba Sensei remarked that, “The demonstration you did just now was satisfactory to me, and that kata is worth mastering.” Later, Konishi Soke developed two other kata based on the principles of Tai Sabaki. The three kata became known as Tai Sabaki Shodan, Tai Sabaki Nidan, and Tai Sabaki Sandan.
