1) Aunkai drills made me more stable and heavy during practice. I try to move according to the basic movements from Sigman's video. (up/down/in/out) It helps me to use less shoulders and muscle powers to apply -kyo techniques. However, I don't think about too much while doing techniques. Otherwise I become a cat knows 108 ways of escaping and other non IS/IP guys notice I'm a weirdo.

2) It takes some time to feel the necessity of IS/IP training. Only a few ppl belive it without feeling&seeing. So I guess it's best to mix solo exercises with warm-up. No need to mention IS/IP but it'll make beginners strong and stable. Shiko, Tenchijin, Ashiage, and Sigman's exercises.
