3 Part Lesson — Paul talks on finding and maintaining your "base" statically and dynamically. The first set of movements are about keeping your posture and balance whether your opponent pushes or pulls you off angle. The second part is learning how to carry your opponent's weight on your back through the use of structural alignment. This finishes with an opportunity for uke to practice the forward rolling breakfall if thrown over the shoulder after grasping the partners arm. Lastly, dropping down into base is used to load up a partners weight through the connection of the hips for an Ippon Seoinage counter against a Rear Neck Hold.
