Riding the weight on your partner`s palms to then use the energy to raise up. From there, with them riding on your arms it is easy to drop them back down.

Sunday afternoon in Sakado we worked on yonkajo.

Focused on connecting to the shoulder to control uke`s balance. Also, concentrating power by keeping our hands in our center and aligning feet and hips.
