What holds up those hips?

I believe what we are missing as we stumble around the dojo is good strong, supportive, sensitive and responsive legs. Too often we forget what's holding up and moving our hips.
Our feet connect us to our world a hell of a lot more than our hands but we place all our attention in the arms and shoulders. Maybe this is simply because they are in our visual field.
Train your legs more. Stretch them daily. Massage your feet, feel down into them frequently.
You should be able too move slowly from one low posture to another without gaps or bumps.
Recommend maka ho, torifune, weapons and sumo shikko.
