Soke Chris is smooth and maintaining his center. His GUMO form follows this, although much of it is hidden from the casual viewer. I haven't seen Soke's smooth underhanded draw, yet. Yet!

It would be great to hear about and see everyone's thoughts and techniques regarding maintaining center, applying energy from the center, and using weapons as an extension of our forms / movements.
