We have used volleyballs and tennis balls,in an attempt to keep corners out. This seems to help add a depth dimension to techniques, and helps the students go around and not thru (compression). Seems like everyone forgets to add depth to the techniques(creating spirals).
We have also used slinky toys to show the spirals.
One last one, is to use a plastic pipe analogy to have the student remove their arm from the pipe, it seems to help reiterate the spiral concept.
We have also used beach balls to help beginners with front, back and the Waite Sensei type "beachball" rolls.
