Project through the ground.
Fujita sensei uses projections of whole body movement into sumi otoshi point of uke. Mae otoshi point is also used but the point on the ura side of uke is his most weak spot. It's not enough to just point at this spot or restrict your movement to the edge of the earth. The mental training consists of projecting the energy through the ground towards the center of the earth. Of course this will be impossible to do, but the movement changes because of the effort made. It's like the board braking excercise of karate. Project body, mind and spirit behind the board to go through it.
In irimi nage like movements this is best demonstrated.
Enjoy practice.
