Re: torifune and IS

Just an observation about the last two rowing vids - in both those vids, the person is pushing with yin and pulling with the yang parts of the body - yin is on the palm side of arms and front of the body with yang being on the back and top outside part of the arms - look at Ueshiba's fune kogi and you will notice that it is reversed - he pushes out with yang and is pulling in with the yin - another way to look at it is to look at what part of the body they are leading with - pushing out with palms out with fingers up is yin out and pushing out with back of hands out with fingers down is yang out.
