Kokyu Doza is a core exercise to develop the ability to create, maintain, and move frame with our One-Point.
Its application is most obvious in techniques like Tenchi-Nage, but the concept of frame is everywhere from Kote Gaeshi to Kokyu Nage to Ikkyo and more.

Tech Tip:
When Projecting With The Top Hand, The Thumb Is Down And The Pinky Finger Is High. In This Orientation The Joints Are Aligned Best To Connect To Our Hips. If Reversed, The Elbow Joint Will Tend To Collapse And We Lose Power. It Is Also The Same Orientation As The End Of Kokyu Nages, For The Same Reason.
