Re: Stat-u? Uke?

There is probably a degree of monkey see - monkey do coming into this as well - if the instructor is demonstrating the finer points of a technique, his uke has to freeze at certain points in order to let him get on with the explanation in sequence.

Students may either consciously or subconsciously think that it's ok for uke to move like that when they partner up to practise...
