Re: Metaphors for Teaching
My teacher uses metaphors frequently to illustrate an idea or movement. One I use with our kids' class is with ude kimi nage and I tell them to pretend to hold a big, gooey cream pie in their hand and then smash it to the mat as they slide forward and throw.
I really like the Little Teapot metaphor for koshinage - and would like it much better if I could just get that tune out of my head now.
