with a lot of the Ippons and Gumite gata you were using kazushi to to break the balance
and a lot of people think it's it's this. Really starts a lot earlier
when you're actually moving in it's where you actually place your foot whether it be on the
outside or the inside you really need to get it close and you need to demand this space where
the uke has got his stance I want to basically put my knee where his knee is
and to to start the kazushi to start the taking of his balance
I try and take that that position
What you need to do is look at the structure of
the leg and how with geometry you can try and
move his foot move his position so if you look at your shin
forgive my drawing. That's the kneecap with the bones and the shin
You have got obviously muscles and bones in there.
if you cut a section through and I'm going to try and make this geometric you've basically got
a triangle where you've got the muscles and the bone it's more or less a triangular shape
so this is more or less static for the uke but the attack he will be using exactly the same
shin configuration so the difference is, you've got this forward motion
of the body moving forward and also the knee just remember when you do your junzukis
it's not it's not the back leg it's the it's this movement and you need
to get used to this movement not just for doing your basic junzukis
but for actually this move as well so if you have a static triangle and you have a
moving triangle and it's going forward you're going to get this face and this face to
to rub to suri to move in so if I progress this triangle forward
as soon as it starts hitting it's going to throw this static one out
so this is going to start going linear for each time that this one moves in
it's going to move this other one off the centre line so you get this snowplough effect with it
moving out so that's not just up here but really you want to start it right the way down here
so it's important to get your foot
close to his foot. he's thigh his knee his foot when you move in you try and get your foot
as close to his foot as possible but your knee as you're moving in
will be here and this is moving forward so the first interaction you're going to get is down here
so as it's moving through you'll start getting higher and higher as this moves forward until
at the end your knee is replacing here so it's not the knees that's doing the work it's this
initial initial contact
The contact will start a lot lower down yeah you can either get knee or
try and move your your shins together
so the knee over their foot and you're moving in
it starts off low and it'll be moving in towards him. So try and work on how
and where you place your foot so it's not good having your foot too far away
it's no good having your foot here not really any good having your foot too far back
but practice where you try and get your ankles and your shin and it will all depend on
on how tall you are and how thick your calves and your shins are but the basic principle is
to try and get your foot position right and trying to get your body moving forward and then
it will start affecting the opponent's shin his knee his hip his body so the
application of kazushi starts right the way at the beginning not at the end not here
but you've already done it
down there so if you can practice practice with your partner
about where you're going to put your foot it's too far forward too far back too far wide
but just by moving your knee forward you can have a dramatic effect or you can you can break
the ice you can start taking a lot earlier than leaving it till later and trying to do
pushing you don't push no pushing sink your weight move your weight forward
so taking your weight forward and sinking your body there this is when kazushi starts
