Nikyo
Working in the basics class on Nikkyo wow, this seemed a lot harder to me than the Sankyo this morning. I didn't get anything that felt right in this.

Things made a little more sense then, but not what I would call cognitive connection. Setting up a base for Nikkyo that takes the energy of the earth through your back foot and into the Wrist of your Uke while making perfect sense seemed to be slightly beyond me….
