Hard Soft

Every technique, kata, movement or battle has a hard/soft aspect.
Seek to develop the difference and enhance the action.
More relaxing, more power, more speed translates to maximum effectiveness.
The delivery of a powerful blow begins with total relaxation, in kata Fukyugata-ichi
this occurs 21 times.

Arigato,
Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
