This short video shows Albright Sensei’s Aikido techniques from Ushiro-dori (wrists grab from behind). The video clip is from the Fall seminar Albright Sensei did in 2008.

More about this video:

This is a video demonstrating the smooth, fluid movements of aikido from an attack in which both wrists would be grabbed from behind. Of course, these can be sped up and made much more crisp and power of the throw emphasized for self defense, and as shown here they can be much more dance or tai chi like. The importance of good footwork is probably found most obviously when doing attacks from behind, as you must get off the line of attack so you do not get overwhelmed.
