Tori must maintain good posture to lift uke. Where the throw is held with uke on tori's shoulders, uke
must maintain a rigid posture across the shoulders. Remember that one of the reasons for doing kata is
to demonstrate. What looks better, a well held rigid posture or an uke slumped over tori's shoulders?
