Re: Ikkyo with Small Hands

i usually tell my folks to stop being so grabby. don't grab. think of arms as sword. sword cuts. watch Endo sensei's hands. he doesn't like to grab.

Also, grabs meant your arms are locked, i.e. useless for striking or doing other stuffs if uke decides to do something else.
