On Wed., I saw Desmond Senpai showing Allyson how to attack Kote. Although I couldn't hear what he said, by his bodily demonstration, I could see that he was telling her to relax the arms at all times. He was gesturing relaxed arms during Kamae (thus implying that it is much easier to do the sudden attack), then suddenly attack Kote.
During my keiko w/ Hosokawa Senior Sensei, he told me to relax.
Just like any other sports or martial arts, the same laws apply. Relax and be flexible, then apply the full strength at the moment of impact only. Being rigid will consume unnecessary energy and will make me to be slow.
