What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work? Probably - that is my understanding. My only reservation is it makes it sound like I know what I'm talking about, and that's always dangerous. |

What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work? I'm not sure whether you replied before I finished my edit. These are koryu, which means they aren't done to be pragmatic. (The pragmatic stuff is in the junana hon kata).(overstating for simplicity). Most koryu techniques make... contrived assumptions about ukes attack and intent, and if the uke isn't trained to actually follow that script, you get the phenomenon you described "jump for sensei". Koryu is like a sonnet. Sonnets are written within narrow, artificial guidelines, not for pure pragmatism. Koryu are designed to teach concepts, not pragmatism. (IMHO) |

What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work? Could you give us a time mark on the video? You said "a few seconds" but the video is 10 minutes long. |

What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work? Upvoting @DaveLiepmann's question, because I think it is insightful. This is an interesting discussion because we're polarized, and I appreciate the effort to narrow the discussion to a very pragmatic, answerable question. |

What makes this seated Daito-ryu technique work? If nage turns wrists inward and upwards, then if uke unlocks the elbows, uke is unable to exert any force on nage. To unlock the elbows, uke has to disengage from nage, which nullifies the attack. (The goal is to nullify the attack, not to complete the throw.) I'm struggling to write that more clearly - I'm not sure that explanation passes muster. I can no longer get into seiza, but perhaps I can persuade a classmate to work with it this weekend, and perhaps I'll find a clearer way to explain it. |
