Kokyunage jo - Support and stretch, rather than throw

Do you want to take a deeper look into Kokyunage jo? Do you sometimes have trouble throwing your partner with this technique?

In today's video, I'm going to share a couple clips from a seminar I taught back in 2017 in Los Angeles. In these clips, we start with giving our partner a stretch and supporting them. We then transition into "over-stretching" them, thus allowing them to fall.

Let’s check it out.
