Re: Vetting Our Skills
Cooperative training doesn't necessarily mean you fall because you're "supposed to". You fall because you have to. I believe it's uke's job to make nage do their job ant show them when they aren't, not fall down for them. Uke teaches nage what works and what doesn't, that requires an honest attack and an honest response. If you're attacking and nage doesn't achieve kuzushi, continue the attack. If nage doesn't compromise your structure, stand there. Don't resist, just don't help. The better nage is, the more resistance you can provide, and the better they have to get in order to overcome it.
