Re: Defining Kokyu
About breathing,
I just remembered reading somewhere in an interview that Seagal sensei said he used to keep his single breath even doing multiple techniques on several ukes. The idea was that he did it fast enough and wanted fluidity.
I guess that is what I'm trying to get at. Mayhaps the technique required has to have such a fast response time to an quick attack that if we are to maintain that breath in-breath out timing, it would not be appropriate. I suppose it would be better served during training on a more step by step approach. If we did try to keep at it, I would suppose you would find yourself hyperventilate if the uke came fast enough at you.
My thoughts anyway.
