Re: Gokyo vs Ikkyo
The grip is different but it's mostly the direction that you take uke - at least that's how we train on it.
In ikkyo you take uke's balance in one direction and put uke to the ground in a different one. In gokyo, you take uke's balance in one direction and you keep going that way (their hand will lead in the direction they are taken) with a big sidestep. This sidestep is what takes all of uke's balance.
Plus the different pin.
