Wait, I have to say, "Huh??"
Kokyu ("IP") is
how you utilize uke's energy. It's a way to integrate incoming forces into a useful resultant.
In other words, it would take uke's forces and produce a new result (uke tries to attack but ends up getting off-balanced by the final resultant force).
At least-- that's what the original blog post suggests to me. I don't mean to address the Tomiki methodology issue, like Mike said that could be a good thread on its own, but the above quote really compelled me to post.
PS, Mike nice post, thanks, though I think you have said most of it already!
