Re: Me vs. an oak tree - Strength against ki

It is nearly impossible for anyone to perform a pre-known technique, on a larger non-cooperatinve Uke. Especially if you are not at a much higher level then your Uke.

The secret lies in Uke prior knowledge, you must find a way to remove it as part of the mental Kuzushi.

Further, methodologically speaking. your idea of learning process is wrong. You should not try and jump on the largest challenge and try to move the immmovable oak tree. You should set yourself with smaller challenges you can overcome. For now, why won't you ask these people to give you somewhat easier life and not fully resist you?
Increase the difficulty in a slow process, as you gain experience and become better. Do not give in, reach your challenge in a few more years.
