Sonobade Ippon Toru

An introduction to zuki fundamentals with Roger Vickerman Renshi — how posture, balance, timing and body movement work together to get the most from your practice.


Sonobade

Notes below are taken from your working transcript. If you share the Shorts link for this gyakuzuki segment, you can drop it in exactly like the sections above.

  • Avoid pulling too wide before punching (it destabilises posture and “drops” the arm).
  • Match zuki timing to the foot: avoid “one-two” (extra movement = mudana).
  • Width adjusts only enough to allow the hip to sink/engage for reverse action.
