karui
Path: GoodPlay   · Prev: InducingMove   · Next: Kiai
   

Karui is the Japanese adjective usually translated in English as 'light'. As in 'light play', 'light shape'.

Light play is:

(a) probably unnatural for almost everyone, initially; (b) hard to learn until you are convinced it is necessary; (c) immensely important in fighting.

Therefore understanding it ought to be a long run objective for anyone who wants to become strong.

The basic point is quite simple: don't connect two stones solidly until you are confident that you won't want to sacrifice just one of them. Unfortunately this is hard to put into practice ...
