This will only be a short article, but recently I was watching some DVDs of Mustard Sensei and it hit me that we always talk about how the hips should connect with the arms and hands in order to execute a well performed technique.

Take for instance the selection in this short video. I think at the highest levels the upper body sits aligned on the hips, the feet move without pre-emptive twitching, or post movement recovery. This gives the upper body the freedom to move as it wants without making up for the lack of balance below the waist causing tension.
So perhaps when performing the kihon dosa rather than focusing on the body moving in unity, perhaps the focus should be twitching and recovery. Thus leading to freer movement and better technique.
Train with form and intensity.
Osu!
