Re: Do You Stand Straight Up?

Interesting points made about leaning or not leaning.

Having practiced aikido for eight years and now training in a koryu, there is a distinct difference in postures at times. I am finding that I need to have a 'positive lean' especially at the end of a technique or when entering. I am often being told to stop 'rocking back' into a more upright posture.

Just my musings on it.
