bushido_man96 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Leg and foot is the last thing to move, and it's dragged by tension and structure.In some of the vidoes I've seen of Capeoira, I've noticed this way of moving. I can see the power, too. It'd be tough for me to get used to, I think, after doing it otherwise for so many years, but I see the merit in the way the movements are done. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Everything emanates from the tanden. You move from the Hara (or centre of the body).In Wado karate at least, everything starts moving together and ends together.However in some styles (particularly traditional Okinawan ones) the "whip / lag" action is more prevalent.For example; here in this Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu version of pinan nidan: This is a very alien thing for me, but I can also see its function.SojoboSolid post!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
