Re: Kuzushi against resistance

Wynand,

I hope you're including ma-ai or distance in your understanding of timing. A package concept you might think about is: Target, Distance, and Timing

If you don't have specific target in mind (place of first contact with the line of force going through all the way to it's eventual contact with the ground), how can you know what the proper distance is... and if you don't know the first two (target and distance), how can you possibly understand what the appropriate timing is? If you add this into your thinking about timing it can help.

I also agree with Ron... the joint locks should affect the entire structure of the uke, not just create pain, etc. at the point of kime in the joint lock.
