This kata provides (for the practitioners) a greater understanding of some of the science behind judo. Consider the first technique where tori approaches uke and then pushes uke to the point of breaking the balance (Concentration of energy). Once the balance is broken tori further pushes uke (Action) until the balance is completely broken and uke falls to the ground. Uke rises and attacks (Reaction) tori who does not resist (Non Resistance) but allows the energy through and guides uke past and to the ground.
