“Power is rooted in the feet, controlled by the waist and expressed through the fingers”
Hara: Keep the centre weighted downPractise jitte-no-bunkai (the section prior to takedown) with students repeatedly to develop speed.
Investigate different strategies required for fighting taller or shorter opponents.
Tai chi – let chi direct movement and do not start any movement until the chi has sunk to the dantian
Relaxation must take place prior to commencing kata practise – there is insufficient time during the kata to become relaxed or focussed.
Training for students should include more visualisations to assist in “feeling” technique.
Look up sticky hands
If weight is distributed more on one leg than the other it is easier to be aware of where the centre is.
Imagine that the top half of the body is extremely light, and the lower part of the body is extremely heavy. In this way speed of hand movement and deep rooted stances will be emphasised.
