SEN means "vertical rotation", TAI means "the body", and therefore SENTAI means "vertical rotation of the body".

SENTAI is a movement that is unique to Taido, other martial arts has vertical rotations as well, but none as well developed and efficient as Taido's SENTAI.

We use the movements in Taido to gain power in our techniques, SENTAI is one of the more powerful ones.

There is a lot of technique in the SENTAI movement, I will not explain it further here. It is not possible to study Taido from a book, however, more technical information will be put into the practise guide for each grade as appropriate.
