While uke attacks they NORMALLY will be breathing out. Nage begins Aiki blending with uke by breathing in. The blend then reverses and nage is breathing out while uke is breating in. Uke and nage are now connected through breath ( kokyu). Ebb and flow, in and out, ying and yang.... Anyone see a pattern here?
Pretty kewl way to practice blending huh..........
Still breathing,
