What form allows us to study
A mainly lateral movement frame with kiba-dachi. The attention is on the hip, the center and the relationship of the arms.
An observation point
Avoid compensating for a blocked hip by swinging the torso. 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.
The side frame of the Tekki family
Tekki Shodan focuses the study on a mainly lateral movement and on the relationship between the arms, the center and the supports. The space traveled is reduced, but the transitions remain decisive. The gaze participates in the direction of each sequence. A leg action or a crossing of supports must be placed in the rest of the movement. The hypotheses of close work are discussed with distance and explicit roles. The kata line does not prove that all its applications take place against a wall.
Build the relationship between center and arm
The mainly lateral layout allows the supports to be compared without large distances traveled. Identify a movement and its arm preparation. Observe if the center follows the step with continuity or if it arrives after the hands. The gaze must maintain an understandable direction in the passage studied. A low posture does not compensate for uncertain coordination. Work a segment at a suitable amplitude, then return to form. The proximity of the sequences makes the differences between preparation, reception and continuation particularly useful to discuss in the dojo.
