[Technique] Movement for Proper Entry - Ude Furi Undo

One movement which helps to train a practitioner for proper entry is known as Ude Furi Undo.

This exercise involves facing one direction and then making a 180 degree spin to face the other direction while swinging their arms and remaining centered with a balanced body. This means maintaining a neutral position from your hips, shoulders and neck during the 180 degree turn.

This movement is a basic movement and it teaches the person using it to quickly step out of the way of an attack whilst remaining balanced with good posture. In attacking, this also helps train a persons timing and movement when deflecting and redirecting the energy of an incoming attack.

A moving demonstration of the move can be viewed through this link.

Proper Attacking :

Studying the art of attacking is probably more important than the defense of the attack itself. If you know the dynamics and the technical points of attacking, you will know better how to defend.
