While waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Following up on an image Ikeda used to offer for teaching kokyu ho, I brought a large (6" diameter) plastic jar to class and had nage open/close it as an heuristic for the motion of kokyu.

At a recent seminar, George Ledyard offered something Frank Doran has done to enhance nage's awareness of the openings in his defense: All nage's place a dollar in their belts/hakamas. If uke can get them, nage, er, foots the bill (and understands that it was a cheaper lesson than getting knifed...)

There's also shiko dodge ball.
