Lately, my personal practice has really focused on entering with my hips, while at the same time trying to maintain my verticality. This helps. Additionally, I personally have noticed that in the past when I added strength training to supplement my aikido, it didn't help me understand my ki body and its expression in the techniques. Since I hurt my shoulder (for those of you who don't know my name, I'm the guy with the yellow tape on his right shoulder), I have not been doing any extra strength training, and my personal feeling has really changed. I don't rely on muscling through the techniques, er... hopefully not muscling. I don't feel as cumbersome on the mat and this helps my aikido.
