I've heard mention from Rob about "pulling" the hara toward the back (assuming I'm recalling correctly); I've also heard my own sensei describe the need of having the feeling of "sitting back" when doing suburi. Would anyone be willing to elaborate or draw comparisons with other arts as to why this might be a good thing to do?
