Re: Unbendable arm
I'll throw in my 2 cents.. which, in aiki money converts to about the square root of nowt.
"Relax" is a term often confused. As mentioned it does not mean go limp but implies a "supple readiness" without tension.
Unbendable arm is great fun. I like to teach it to my buddies when we go to the boozer. I just do like Mike Haft has said (funny that eh mike?) and get them to tense up first and i bend their arm. Then i get them to reach for something without moving. It's brilliant the look on their faces. I prefer to imagine reaching out rather than projecting something out, just what works for me in terms of extension; same thing.
I'm only starting to grasp this stuff. Far from easy to let go of the way you've been operating your body your whole life!
Peace and love
