David, what role does the dantien play in your analysis? Is it all a matter of fascia?

Since it is a static demo the center is where the transfer of the push from the fascia running down your back to your legs to the ground.
If you maintain whole body connection from the waist up, as your center moves so will any point on your body from the waist up, like a pantograph.
If you scribe a circle in space with your center so will any point on your body above the waist.
In the picture above when Tamura pushes on Tohei's wrist his push is adding tension to the already tense fascia adding to its structural integrity, by Tohei's design. Aiki.
