Clérans

Clérans are patterns used in martial arts, especially in Aikido, to coordinate movements smoothly and efficiently. They represent specific positions and body alignments that help practitioners execute techniques with proper balance, leverage, and ease. Think of them as guiding postures or frameworks that ensure control and effectiveness while minimizing effort and risk of injury. Clérans serve as fundamental principles that inform technique execution, fostering fluidity and harmony between practitioners.
