Base, posture, and connection

The three-part check that makes every position easier to read.

How to read it

What this entry helps you see

Base describes how you support and redirect force. Posture describes the alignment that lets you keep doing it. Connection describes where you can sense, contain, or move another body. Treat them as one diagnostic, not three isolated tips.

Study cues

  1. Locate your support points before moving
  2. Notice which direction your posture can recover
  3. Build connection before applying speed

Common errors

  1. Moving without a stable support point
  2. Confusing stiffness with posture
  3. Reaching for control without closing distance
