Re: Beautiful Uke

Building on Phi´s post.

I train in Iwama-style. We like to slam each other to the tatami as much as the next guy, but training hard with powerful throws tend to teach uke to escape pain and injury more as Pavlov´s dogs rather than an alive response. It can become a problem in jiyuwaza and kaeshiwaza-practice.
