Kuzushi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuzushi (崩し:くずし?) is a Japanese term for unbalancing an opponent in the martial arts.
In judo it is considered an essential principle and the first of three stages to a successful throwing technique: kuzushi, tsukuri (fitting or entering) and kake (execution).
It is important to many styles of Japanese martial arts, expecially those deriving from judo or influenced by judo training methods. In the latter class we would find Shodokan aikido and Wadō-ryū karate.
