Re: being a good (bad) uke
You have to be able to "read" your nage, either by sight, by touch, or by experience. Know which ones expect more resistance and which ones require less resistance. Wrongly placed resistance can open the eyes of the nage to errors in their technique - but most often will only create resentment. Lack of sufficient resistance can make you easy to throw, but can also offend a more experienced partner who "knows" that they hadn't taken your balance before you fell.
