What form allows us to study
The path of the steps, hangetsu-dachi and an organization of breathing specific to the version studied.
An observation point
Do not force your breathing or bend your knees to reproduce an appearance. Choose a short sequence and compare two trials with the same criterion. The video is used to prepare a question for the course; the fix belongs to the dojo version.
Respiratory organization and contrasts
Hangetsu is distinguished by work on steps, posture and breathing which receives specific instructions. It should not be summed up as a constant contraction. The relationship between exhalation, relaxation and movement is studied with the teacher. The different pace portions also give transition questions. The path of the step helps to understand the support before and after the action. The amplitude and breathing can be adapted to the practitioner; coordination precision remains a better goal than forced imitation of a visual effect.
Link the step to the breathing studied
The form draws attention to the breathing and the path of the steps, but these elements must be observed together. Forced breathing can modify the relaxation and block the movement. The teacher specifies the model and useful adaptations. Identify the direction of the foot and knee in a transition, then examine what remains possible when it arrives. Portions with different rhythms should not be reduced to permanent tension. Comparison with another posture allows us to understand a question of support, without imposing the same organization on all forms.
