In fact, what I´ve noticed is that some people make correct kirikaeshi from the hip, while others do tai-atari clasing kote against kote.<BR/>At my dojo (Kenwakai in Madrid) I can see both behaviours. I´ve asked and been told that both are common, but theoretically the one from the hip is more correct.<BR/>Personally, I prefer the hip one, but the problem is that if the other person goes for the kote one, I end up eating some kote for lunch. :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
