DECOMPOSITION
AND
DISCOVERY
OF THE
KOKUTSU DACHI
POSITION
To position yourself in Kokutsu Dachi, proceed as follows:
Position yourself in Kokutsu Dachi:
From the Hachiji Dachi position, place your left foot in front of you , toe pointing forward about 1 meter .
At the same time, pivot on the right foot at a 90° angle , so the two feet are perpendicular .
The distance between your two feet is about 1 meter , your back knee should be placed above your back foot, if possible the tip of the knee above the toes of the back foot and open to the outside. Your front knee is slightly bent and is also open to the outside. Your hips are placed 3/4. The heels are on the same line.
Take one step forward in Kokutsu Dachi:
From the Kokutsu Dachi position left leg forward.
Step 1 - Load all your body weight onto your front leg, your back should remain straight, spine vertical, chin parallel to the floor.
Step 2 - Move your right foot forward in front of your left foot to enter the Neko Ashi Dachi position. Keep your back straight and do not raise your legs; your pelvis should remain level. Your feet should move in line. Your body weight is still on your left foot.
Step 3 - Step your right foot forward about 1 meter, toe forward while keeping your weight on your left leg, now your back leg. You should move your front foot forward in line with your back foot, with your heels on the same line.
Step 4 - Pivot your left foot so that at the end of the rotation there is a 90° angle between your back foot and your front foot. Place your back knee over your back foot and slightly bend your front leg.
Step 5 - Open both knees to the outside.
DEFECTS IN KOKUTSU DACHI:
Back Foot: Your back foot has pivoted too far, it is open and therefore not perpendicular to your front foot.
Too much profile: Your pelvis is completely sideways, you have no stability. Your feet should be aligned, it's your heels that are on the same line, in this case you can place your pelvis 3/4 and be stable in Kokutsu Dachi.
Back knee on the inside: Your back knee is on the inside, so the weight of your back leg is on the inside edge of your foot. You need to keep your back knee in place; to do this, think about placing your weight on the outside edge of your back foot.
PERFECT YOUR KOKUTSU DACHI POSITION
