Re: Kokyu explanation
How does your use of 'held tensions' corroespond with the statement from Ikeda Sensei you mentioned earlier?
Quote:

"Keep tension!" was a common admonition of Ikeda's for a long time." If there is not a good, slightly stretched, connection from your center to your hand, you cannot move your hand with your center; if there is not a good connection to your opponent's center, you cannot control his center with your center.
