Re: Do You Stand Straight Up?
Maruyama sensei demonstrated, time and again, that mind and body coordination can be present no matter how the body is configured. He would stand on one leg and have us push on him, bend over from the waist and have us push on him, lean backwards and have us push on him; it didn't really matter. The fact is that he didn't move because he internalized correct feeling and so was in his strongest possible state no matter what position he put his body into.
With correct feeling (internally correct posture) the body is supported and remains strong regardless of external positioning.
