2 of 2 23/06/2009 11:03

Tips and explanations Back

Basic technical explanations and tips are listed below.

Direction of force in Nuki waza Back

By understanding the right direction of the force you have to apply in Nuki waza, you can easily escape

from a grip.

Those animals developed thumb can

grab things tightly. That means if you

can make a force of the thumb

grabbing your wrist weaken, you can

easily escape from the grip.

Thumb can resist against the forces

shown by red arrows in the left figure,

but can not resist forces shown by

green arrows.

Shorinji Kempo utilize this fact, using

(1) direction are Kote nuki and

others, using (2) direction are Kiri

nuki and others.

Another way of escaping is applying force in the direction of locking techniques

and make your opponent release his grip because of the pain the locking

techniques causes.

Meuchi Back

Once your opponent is prepared for your next move, it may have become difficult to execute a technique,

that is, your waza on him. Especially if your opponent is stronger than you, some special techniques are

called for. You should try to make it difficult for your opponent to concentrate on the essential elements

that determine the effectiveness of your techniques.

This category of techniques is called Meuchi and consists of flapping at eyes with fingertips. Delivering

Meuchi, you can create a window of opportunity to getting rid of his concentration. You do not have to

actually flap at your opponent's eye balls, just waving your finger tips in front of the eyes is sometimes

enough.

Use Meuchi whenever you try to execute Juho.

Kagite Back

Kagite is a typical guard style used for preventing your

opponent from controlling you once your opponent has

seized your wrist.

Once one of your hands is in your opponent's grip, do not try to

free your hand by pulling it directly back towards you.Your

opponent, with greater strength, will hold fast to your hand.

Rather, treating your hand-arm-body system as a lever, try to

Elemantal technics of Shorinji Kempo http://kenseikai.world.coocan.jp/gihou/kihon/engtech.htm#yogo

1 of 3 23/06/2009 11:03

Do not try to pull the hand

grabbed.

Point in the right description

to see Kagite.

position the fulcrum of that system close to your body. The

leverage gained will magnify your strength. This is a simple

physical principle.

Open your hand as illustrated in the left figure. By opening your

hand, your wrist becomes thicker and this makes your opponent

a little bit difficult to fasten the grip. However, this gives your

opponent a chance to grip your finger at the same time.

Therefore do not be in Kagite style for long. Move to the next

technique as soon as possible.

Remember, to effect this guard style, put your body and not

your opponent's grip, near the fulcrum.

Sankaku shuhou or Triangle guard position Back

Sankaku shuhou is a guard technique against your opponent's

offense, trying to twist your arm in a direction shown in the left

Fig.

Do not pull your wrist toward you, but rather put yourself near to your

wrist seized and put it as close as your side body. Your arm will make a

triangle shown in the left figure below.

As you can see, your opponent's grip has already weakened just after

you take Sankaku shuhou guard position.Point in the

right description to

see Sankaku

shuhou.

Nisoku tenkai Back

As illustrated at left, Nisoku tenkai,

which means two steps full turn, is a

way to turn 180 degree in two steps.

The quickness and economy of

movement this allows is important in

throwing techniques.

Tips on Boshikyu Back

Boshikyu , or thenar,

refers to the part of your

palm just at the base of

your thumb.

Usig Boshikyu,

the aim is to

control and push the

back of your

opponent's hand in

such a way that your

arm and your

opponent's arm form a

straight line.

One man training:(Figs. below)

(1)Put the palm of your left hand against the back of your right hand so that both palm faces you.

Your left hand is to execute this maneuver on your right hand, which plays the part of your

opponent's hand.


2 of 3 23/06/2009 11:03

(2)Hook the middle and ring fingers of your left hand around the fleshy base of your right thumb.

(3)Using the leverage afforded by your palm, press the Boshikyu of your left hand against the back

of your right hand to fold your right wrist. You shall be able to easily fold your right wrist as far as it

will go and, thereby, point the fingers of you right hand at your chest. This will make your arms form

a straight line

(4)Twist your left hand to check a direction of the force you should apply to give the maximun pain.

You can feel how the leverage gives your left hand control over your right hand.

In step 3, it is important to press your Boshikyu against the back of

your opponent's hand and not twist your opponent's wrist with your

thumb. Beginners sometimes try to twist their opponent's wrist, however this

allows your opponent to escape from your grip. It does not work to your

advantage at all, especially when your opponent is stronger than you.

Yubidori Back

This technique is used to lock an opponent's wrist and thumb.

Use your Boshikyu firmly attached to the back of his hand

and twist his thum in the direction shown in the right Fig.
