Re: Encyclopedia of Japanese Martial Arts
My copy arrived yesterday, and although I haven't had time to sit down with and go through it thoroughly - from what I have read so far, it's a good piece of work with some very interesting information in it. Naturally, in a field with such huge breadth and depth, it would be impossible to detail ev...

Re: Internal Power
There's pukka internal energy / power and then there's parlour tricks!

Re: Internal Power
And I'd just like to apologise for my poor vocabulary.
When I used the word intonation I actually meant cadence.
Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Internal Power
Of course, we see Aikiage in Idori (Te-dori). In the Daito group that I trained with briefly, they used to refer to that movement as “Asagao" or morning glory flower. Hakoishi sensei refers to it as "washing your face". Either way, its about the "shape" you perform whilst do...

Re: Internal Power
Sometimes this is a very small world filled with 6 degrees of separation...lol. Gary, you are quoting Ohgami to one of Ohgami's former senior students. Ove started training with Ohgami before most of us were born. :) And in Ove's defense he agrees with my view of kata in terms of competition. Well ...

Re: Internal Power
And, as an aside, in my experience (particularly involving razor sharp swords), techniques that have a 1,2 timing would probably see you dead (or on your way) after 1.

Re: Internal Power
These things take a while to percolate through my little brain sometimes lol... It's the action that reminds me of the movement in Pinan Godan, where one performs harai-uchi/uke chudan in Shizentai (immediately after the gedan-bariai in shikodachi)... Seems so natural to want to pull your fist acros...

Re: Internal Power
Actually, I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just highlighting something that is not so common in Wado perhaps.
As I understand it, in Wado we try to take out unnecesary movements (altough the same intention / power generation may be achieved).

Re: Internal Power
It's more to do with the timing of his technique.
To me it looks as though the guys technique is done as a 1,2 as opposed to 1, if that make sense.
[edit] His fist travels backward before travelling to the target. Now I may be missing something, that may be part of the exercise too.
