This workshop covers a fundamental approach to Beta-uchi, with a primary focus on learning to use gravity and the full body for an efficient production of sound. We will begin with stretches and exercises to strengthen and relax the body, an explanation of grip-styles and home practices to increase grip strength, and how to use different Beta-uchi striking techniques to reduce body tension.
