We should always look for the possibility of being behind our attacker, which is one of the basic principles of self-defense. With the only difference that the movement runs diagonally backwards, to the left or right. The same concepts are fulfilled here as in the previous item. The movement must be «enveloping» so that we can «win the back» of our attacker using his energy to our advantage, so that our attack to the attack is strong and to achieve «todome – waza». The goal here is to execute yori ashi (*) or okuri ashi (*) in such a way that we have to be behind our attacker’s back. It is important that when we impact the soles of the feet, again they are in total contact with the floor, repeating in concept of yori ashi. Here the movement consists of repeating the same concept as for yori ashi, the difference lies in that we have to advance first with the foot of the most backward leg to where the foot of the forward leg is in a short and rapid movement from there Reuse the contraction and the floor to go forward. At the moment of impact the feet always have to be in total contact with the ground. With the koshi (ball of the foot) of the delayed leg exerting pressure towards the ground and forward, the foot of the forward leg will advance at the same time maintaining the distance between both. The movement consists of using body contraction – expansion using the soil. One of the most important concepts here is: Shiho ashi sabaki, whose translation is: game or foot movement in different directions: Mae: forward Ato: back Hidari: left Migi: right Naname Hidari – Migi: forward diagonal left – right Naname Hidari Ato – Migi Ato: back diagonal left – right. For this, we have to know what are the movements of un-soku. If our movements are adequate and performed in a timely and correct way, we will achieve the fundamental objective of achieving the perfect blow, executed with our whole body and not only with the segment (arm or leg) as sometimes happens. Un-soku: The work of un-soku (fluid slip of the feet) is the main basis of the techniques in Karate-do.

Once we understand the term and form of Renzoku-waza, we return to the principles of training (posture, breathing, un-soku, etc.) and begin to study and train Go-no-sen and Sen-no-sen.

There are all the combinations that we can use, from the simplest to the most complex. In the previous section, we talk about Renzoku-waza (chains of techniques), for this, we must practice and study Kata (from the most basic to the most advanced). To get to Jiyu-Kumite (Free Combat) it is necessary to first learn the form and then tactics and strategy in this way we will be giving our students all the necessary elements for a correct compression and better execution. Ko-go Kumite is a specific form of Kumite competition where competitors are designated as «Attacker» and «Defender» prior to the start of each match.įor a better understanding of Ko-go Kumite, we must study and understand the basic principles for a correct execution of this specific form of Kumite. To do this, we study its definition and present a way of understanding and training these concepts. We understand budo as a whole, in the understanding that we have to learn from all martial arts, that is why our un-soku work has much in common with Aikido and Kendo (watch videos). We share the last work done at the training seminar held on May 20 and 21 at the Yamato Dojo. Posted on 29 mayo, 2017 Actualizado enn 29 mayo, 2017
