Some fun 6H stuff in this documentary, in which a karateka and former K-1 competitor investigates Aikido:
Aikido, The Samurai Spirit
Points of interest for 6H:
12:40 - Ryuichi Omori of Shodokan Aikido demonstrates grounding a push through one finger. Unfortunately, he doesn't explain what he's doing. This is followed by computer analysis of Omori's movement by a scientist, followed by Hideo Takaoka attempting to explain some stuff, but neither scientist makes the connection to 6H principles.
Next is Tsuneo Ando, a shihan at Yoshinkan Aikido HQ, reveals some 6H principles in Aikido:
29:00 Mentions the tandem as a source of power
29:31 Explains the power is connected to the ground, through the legs.
31:40 Explanation of a "sticky hand" principle - why the uke (attacker) cannot let go of the wrist of tori (the defender).
