And it is further developed through Ikkyodō by learning to move from one static position to the next. Ikkyodō could also be considered a method of phrasing all the moves in a Kata starting with small patterns and progressivey developing longer and more fluid patterns.

One of the concepts of Okinawa Ti is to divide the human body in two categories: In and Yō, which are opposite to each other in the same way as Yin and Yang, or Negative and Positive. In Okinawa Ti, these concepts do not have any mystical or magical connotations. On the contrary, the knowledge of In/Yō is essential in order to achieve a high level of technical proficiency and control in Kakie and Iri Kumi.
