Re: Koshi
I work with some of the most basic throws out of the gokyo, the really "simple" throws, but trying to do them with any real power (Osoto, Ogoshi, ipponseoi, like that), I work with my ukes (typically while teaching class, traditional methods on teaching, but hiding my own practice in plain sight), trying to actually DO the throws with the most minimal changes in my own posture and balance, etc. Gee... when I get it right, it doesn't feel like I did anything.
So, for me, it's not the feeling of power delivery, though I know it is there, it's the lack of feeling the power delivery. But, the results are obvious when they happen.
