not necessarily in that order though.

Hi Michael,
as far as I am aware Tohei's 4 priciples/rules for
"co-ordination of mind and body" (not aikido) were:-
1. Keep one point
2. Relax completely
3. Weight underside
4. Extend your mind
Ki Society members please confirm/correct if this is/not the case, cheers.
regards,
Mark
