This class focuses on escaping as the foundation of all motion in Kosho Ryu, with Hanshi Juchnik addressing the misconception that escaping is a separate study from karate, jujitsu, judo, or Kempo. The discussion covers escaping from posture as an opponent loads up to strike, moving with the opponent rather than reacting to him, the principle that body follows the head and how that breaks down when an opponent winds up to punch, the difference between winding and unwinding, and the meaning of skeletal integrity in a block. Demonstrations show how every block is an escape, how to escape from a grab so that the escape itself causes the throw, and how looking at the same techniques differently reveals what was always there.
