 How to prepare Tenouchi What to prepare. Yumi Here are some tips on how to prepare your Tenouchi. There is a line written on my palm. This is where the Yumi is supported. It is not a grip with the whole palm of the hand. Bend the palm of your hand like this. This causes wrinkles in the palm of the hand. This crease is placed on the Mato side edge in front of the Yumi. The Yumi is supported by the little finger, ring finger and middle finger. This is not a grip. On the back side of the hand, the joint is parallel to the Yumi. This is the correct state of Tenouchi.

If Obi is loose, you can't concentrate on Sya. The next step is to work on your front. Wrap the cord held to the left slightly below the waistband. Wrap it around the folds of the hakama to hold them in place. The cord in your right hand should be wrapped in the same way, slightly below the waistband. Again, keep the folds of the hak...
