I always practice strong Dojo safety by
stopping my strike well short of the intended target.
There is never an excuse for striking Uke.
From the Forward Leaning Stance (Zenkutsu-Dachi). Left
hand in the chamber, right hand straight out, hand open fingers spread apart,
centered on the body, eye height. Extend the left hand forward rotating the fist
clockwise 180 degrees, stopping when the arm is almost fully extended, centered
on the body, eye height. Simultaneously, retract the right hand into the
chamber, rotating the wrist 180 degrees clockwise. Repeat for other side.
Remember, without safety, there can be no
Jujitsu.
