Re: Slippery Tatami
suriashi as part of your warmups can help on slippery mats too. I like them for ki-no-nagare practice, but for regular yoshinkan training, I tend to grip the mat with my toes a lot, so slippery is a little un-nerving. I usually hate canvas mats that aren't pulled real tight...I always end up with my right big toe jammed. Darn wrinkles...
On high traction surfaces (wearing sneakers, wrestling mats, etc.) I move the heel, knee, and hip as one unit...no knee problems that way. Actually I guess I try to do that all the time, but especially so on high traction surfaces...
