A study of Yamada sensei part 2.

Yamada sensei nikkyo.

 

Yamada sensei has a great sense of unbalancing uke through the use of his kokyu power. Kuzushi points like sumi and mae otoshi are used to excellent effect. When uke is on one foot he uses the direction where uke has no balance with an up down movement of his arms. Kuzushi is obvious one of the basics of Judo as shown in the next photo.

 

The use of kuzushi points is best seen in his nikkyo ura techniques.

 

 

 

Enjoy practice.
