Re: Counter Techniques
For us ten ura techniques are taught as requirements for 1st Kyu and 14 kaeshiwaza techniques for Nidan and up. However, all techniques encountered anywhere in the syllabus, can be taught to any student by whoever runs the class. For us there is no separation of students or forbidden techniques.
I personally consider kaeshiwaza and ura techniques the highest expression of what we do - an understanding of which allows for free flowing technique and a loss of the tor/uke distinction.
