Re: Why no Kokyunages ?

I wonder of any Ki Society practitioners could help me with comments on this? Do you have koshinage's in your testing now?
Best always,
No koshinages. My understanding is that Yoshinkan does not have them either.

We do have throws related to koshinage where uke passes along a line that would be across the hip if we remained there. But we never do anything that puts our hip in the way or loads them on our hip. Our name for these throws involves either the label sudori or kokyunage.

There are kokyunage throws on our 5th and 4th kyu tests that most students can't really begin to do effectively till 1st kyu or shodan at least.
