CHAPTER 6　Ukimi - a universal way to move the body

The wonder of ukimi - Suspending the lower limbs with the pelvis

【GEN Spotlight】

In this video, Tsukii Sensei explains about ukimi, floating body. The concept of ukimi is originally from kobudo, but it is also used in Karate. If an object has a low center of gravity and a large support area, it is stable. However, this is not the case with humans. But it is possible to create a strong stance with a high center of gravity and a small support area. By pulling up the lower limbs with the pelvis and maintaining a moderate amount of tension, in addition to the keeping your center of gravity within the soles of your feet, it is possible to move freely without being easily toppled over by someone pushing or pulling you.

It also has the effect of delaying the opponent's reaction when striking. That is why ukimi is an essential element in creating a truly versatile stance.
