Aikido uses a cane.
So how can you become able to use your cane?
For this reason, there is a "type".
Use your swords and staff like parts of your body.
A practice method for this is "shape."
It's something like ↓↓↓.
The dojo I practice has inherited the teachings of Mr. Sunatomo Kanhide.
Pounce ⇒ Defense ⇒ Slash ⇒ Hurry ⇒ Pounce ⇒ Defense ⇒ Slash ⇒ Hurry ⇒ Defense
We will practice by making these movements into a "shape" as a single movement.
We would like to dig into this "cane mold" in detail.
When you actually learn Aikido, you will find that besides bare hands techniques, there are many other things, including wooden swords, staff, daggers, and many others.
To master all of these things, you need a considerable amount of practice.
I'm currently practicing my cane (wooden stick).
Among them, there is a "cane shape."
It's still a bit of a cold sweat while I was still practicing, but I took a video of it.
And what is a mold? What are you doing for?
I've summarized them.
About the type
What is a "type"?
Will you be able to do it in the same way as usual and become stronger?
I'm sure some people may have doubts about this.
There are some things that need to be clear here.
"Matthematics" are not a way to practice to become stronger.
"Type" is just one of the practice methods for freely manipulating a staff (same for other weapons).
So it's okay to continue expanding.
At my dojo, the aforementioned
"push ⇒ defense ⇒ slash ⇒ slash ⇒ slash ⇒ thrust ⇒ defense ⇒ slash ⇒ thrust ⇒ defense .
Instead of ending with it, it continues this randomly forever.
Practice randomly for about 5 minutes, such as thrust ⇒ defense ⇒ exorcism ⇒ defense ⇒ slash
This will help you feel the cane as a part of your body.
ways of saying things like
, "He has a straightforward way of thinking!" The term "type" is used in everyday life, such as thinking with a narrow perspective or incompatible use.
In any case, it is best to first try the "type" and then develop it in your own way.
Weapons used in Aikido
I think it's a strong impression that Aikido is like holding back the opponent with your bare hands.
However, in fact, they also use weapons!
I would like to explain a little about what kind of weapons they use.
The attacker is called the "seller"
and the recipient
is called the "receiver.
Do you actually hit a weapon against it? ? ?
No, if you do that, you won't get hurt.
Don't worry.
dagger
I think the "knife" is the easy thing to imagine.
In period dramas, it would be "Wakizashi."
Small items can be used as weapons.
Therefore, practice using a dagger to hold your hands earlier than other weapons.
The movement is the same as the bare hand thrust.
It's got a dagger on it.
They thrust towards the belly (where the belt is tied), so they turn it back with a small tweak or two to hold it down.
Alternatively, throw in the direction the opponent is moving forward, such as by entering and throwing it.
That's how it is.
If you hold your opponent down with a tiny retort, take the weapon and lightly hit it against the opponent's neck and pull it.
This is to show the opponent an advantage that they can attack at any time.
wooden sword
It's just a "Japanese sword."
Other weapons such as "bamboo swords" and "clubs" are equivalent to this.
In some cases, they may lift things up with both hands and drive them down.
When it comes to wooden swords, it is long, so if you don't stop the opponent and hit them properly, you will be killed.
Also, it's quite difficult to act as a back pass while holding a wooden sword 💦
It took me over a month for me to be able to act as a back pass while holding a wooden sword.
Every time I was told about that time, I think I was able to continue for over five years.
When I first practice with my support, I think the wooden sword will be scary and my movements will be big and awkward.
I think the quickest way to practice "receiving" is to practice a lot and experience firsthand how your opponent is moving.
Cane
As I mentioned at the beginning, simply put, it is a "wooden stick."
It has a 4.2 shaku cane and a 6 shaku cane.
There are also larger, thicker canes, but here we use a 4.2 shaku cane.
There are two ways to use it: thrust at the opponent like a spear, or cutting it like a wooden sword.
Of course, there is also a way to defend against the attack if the opponent thrusts in.
The "type" was a combination of these attack and defense movements into one form.
So what kind of attack and response will you take?
Please watch the video below.
This is a demonstration by the director and the senator of
Chintokukan Aikido which I attend He thrusts, takes it and throws it.
Or, thrust, throw, throw, and throw to finally master it.
And you can do many moves with just one weapon.
Weapons are extensions of your hands.
Whether you have bare hands or weapons, the basics are the same.
What's important is to "body movement."
It is only because you are able to work your body that you can demonstrate your breathing power.
Therefore, it is important to have a lot of experience with weapon techniques on a regular basis.
summary
Thank you for reading to the end.
This time, I explained the meaning of the mold and the weapon through the cane mold.
Aikido is said to be martial arts that do not fight or martial arts that are harmonious.
However, since it is a martial arts, if this is not superior, it means "death."
Weapons in particular have the power to kill your opponent in an instant, so it is very important to learn the basic movements.
On the other hand, the reason I practiced the cane mold intensively was because it was "it looked difficult."
It's fun to be able to do difficult things! That's why.
Rather than being able to continue to teach in this way, I would like to value an attitude of "looking for it on my own."
It would be great if we could grow by "competing" rather than "competing," like the "michiya of absolute self-completion" of the Aikido spirit.
Next time I would like to write a FAQ that answers questions from people with no experience in Aikido.
We look forward to receiving more questions!
It was Taiko.
