Kokyu Dosa

Many of my classes end with this exercise in breathing, centering, connection and extension.

Find your opponent's center and move it. Don't try to muscle it because against a bigger and stronger person, it just will not work. Make it very subtle, feel for the center, and then just give it a little nudge. Don't get frustrated. Relax.

It looks so easy but it is hard. When you get it right, it is so very cool.
