崩し

The move seems very foundational, perhaps old hat... the stretch band has a pull if you pull it, and you can step behind the pull. So stretch the band, let the band pull you gently, and while keeping the resistence, soften the stance (so you can move about with your feet/legs), rotate the hips, and step behind the pull, so now you can push with both legs at the same time, and the entire frame of the body.

That's the idea (I believe) maybe, of ippon seoi nage, or the entire judo game maybe, this is leverage I guess, and I had no idea about it even though I trained for a few years. So kuzushi, step behind the pull (while keeping the resistance and create leverage from a more ideal position), now you can push with frame.

Stretch : Posture ⟶ Tension  
Kuzushi  : Tension ⟶ Opportunity  
StepBehind : Opportunity ⟶ Leverage  
PushFrame : Leverage ⟶ Throw

def kuzushi_functor : Tension ⥤ Leverage :=
  λ t, (stepBehind ≫ pushFrame) t

Stretch ⟶ Soften ⟶ Behind

instead of Force ⟶ Fight ⟶ Forward

from effort to timed glide switching from playing on the beat to behind the beat invites others to explore, not just imitate a little sheaf of mind–body logic models healing-through-learning

somatic sense of pullback a relationship between tension and possibility: your motion A ⟶ C, band's tension B ⟶ C, intersect in a universal object P. let your feet find pathways → ∀x ∈ P, explore new morphisms 🦶 kuzushi (崩し)
