Neko Ryu General Principles: Elbow-Knee Alignment

Throughout Neko Ryu Goshin Jitsu techniques the practitioner maintains “elbow-knee alignment”. Elbow-knee alignment is maintained regardless of orientation to the ground - it applies equally in ground techniques as in standing techniques

This means that the elbow maintains a position approximately above the knee of the same side of the body with “above” defined as toward the head of the body. For example, when the left arm is advanced the left leg is also advanced.

Even in the rare and temporary exceptions, elbow-knee alignment is restored immediately.
