As to the 16 variations, irimi, tenkan, tenkan-irimi, irimi-tenkan, evade, sudori, kotai, zenshin. Multiply by left & right. [/b]
What do you mean by kotai and zenshin being variations? (I use
these terms to refer to a solid uke style and mental attitude
respec. rather than physical movement).

Also, I guess you mean sudori as in 'passing though', rather than
sudori as in 'roosting hen'.... (a 17th variation - just sit there!)

If one makes a distinction between the dojo and the battlefield, or being in your bedroom or in public, then when the time comes there will be no opportunity to make amends. (Hagakure)
