Aikido Yoshinkan Brisbane Dojo 20th Demo 2015 Mori Shihan 7th Dan 「塩田剛三(渋川剛気)直伝の実戦即応技と合気」森道治 師範

The way you grab, your instinct is telling you to pull back. pull off your hand, rip off, that's the instinct. But simply use the grip and just make a circular motion, just a circular, just keep circling. And then already he's down. And if putting the weight on his weaker spot, he can't stand up. And if you're just adding a bit more strength, he'd start to lean down. You have to be straight. So simply I circled, circled my hand, circled my body. There's a strength, and then there's already a lock. And then, circular motion. And then small circular motion. And then just having a bit of a concentration of strength on it all. And I'm not using my arm strength or muscular strength. It's just a concentration from my back. That's extra turning. Really, anybody can do this. Once you know the principle and you train your body to turn, anybody can do it. Just reaction. By training fast motion, the body starts to learn how to move instinctively. Until he gets really tired. Watch. So you have to go a closer distance from his ear, go forward. Go into the weakest spot. The right one. This will be an end training method. Keep doing it. Then the body starts reacting to that kick. Against this kind of punches. Aikido principle is the same, so again the circular movement against this. Same thing. That comes and that comes. And if you see, sensei's movement in a circular. Normal one. Normal block, they try to just block by hitting back. That's normal. What the normal people do to block is to hit back. Just hit against the arm. But then, by just being hit by the arm, the opponent attacked, they are not losing their balance. That means they can keep attacking because they are not losing their balance. But in Aikido, we use circular movement. Then, put the weight on to unbalance the opponent each time. Not by just hitting back. Because I do this circular movement putting the weight on, then it's easier to do the technique after. So this is Aikido where we are blocking the punch. Do the circular motion and put the weight on, any technique after. Whatever the technique is. Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art which means we use Katageiko. Katageiko is form training. So we repeat the same set training. By repeating it, the body eventually remembers. So as we increase more Katageiko against different types of punches and kicks, our body should be trained to react instantly to more variety of attacks. That's how I developed. So one, two, kick comes. So the three, now four. Now it's so close. So you train your reflex as well by reacting to these different types of attacks. On the street, you may not get these one, two, three attacks. But your body understands to react to any type of attacks by practicing this. As a self-defense, once you block the initial attack from the attacker, then any technique. Initial blocking is really important. Right? I don't know. I mean, wife and mother, they love each other. They do love each other. So just being rubbed. Two hands, the whole strength will always be in Sensei's arm. And then he has strength. And when he's holding, it's getting there, but still there are some loose joints. So I have to feel the gap. By just moving my body and adjusting, his whole body is blocked. So it becomes like one solidified substance. So I have to block all the joints by the movement. Feel the whole body is blocked and can't move your joints anymore. That's how you feel. Once the body is locked, then matter of turning again. Strength coming in. It's harder to see, but that's what's happening. And then solidifying, solidifying his bone frame. That's what's happening. All the locked joints, solidify his bone frame. It doesn't matter where it's held. So not only hand, now it's elbow. Being rubbed under looks difficult. But again, once it's locked, you can't let it go. It's locked. Then putting the weight on it. Looks easy of course, but see. Let's try hard. To solidify the opponent's body, it's so difficult. It's so loose in the joint. Great effort. So Lawrence is trying to put the weight on to try to lock Sensei. But Sensei's body is still so loose. It's not locked. It's so free. But when I do the technique on him, his body is... It's in a really second. But just solidify by feeling all the joints and locking the joints. And then all the frame is locked up. So it can't move. And then either pushed or turned. Same for the chest, wherever he's grabbing. Usually when you use the joint lock, you turn. But my case is using the higher. Then just solidify by locking the joints. Lock the joints up. Locks it. And put the weight on it. Very hard to see, but that's what's happening. Okay. Your turn, Lawrence. Clever. That's how it happens usually. But Lawrence is strong. But using Aikido is strong. Lawrence, you can... You master against one opponent. Then you can do against two, three. You can increase the numbers of opponents. And using exactly the same principle. The same thing for me. By having two separate strengths, it's very hard to deal with. So you have to unite the two strengths into one. It's locked. Put the strength and feeling it's really locked. And then all the body strength is taken. That's how you feel. There's no control of it anymore. It's locked. Being lifted to the same place. So now four. But the same principle. It doesn't matter how many. There's four separate strengths at the beginning. Four separate strengths. Just you have to unify. Unite all together into one solid. So the whole body becomes one solid. I'm grabbing flesh. Good technique. Same principle anyway. But you really unite all these hard strengths. So by moving, it's a little bit slow. To do that principle, a little bit slow. By now, one. So that's one line there. Two, three. And by changing the angle, always against one, one. By moving. That's the Aikido principle. So not dealing three at a time. One at a time. By moving. And in reality, if we're doing it on the concrete outside, or if there's a car, there's a wall, you can finish one off by one off. Not like this coming up endlessly like zombies. Because we're practicing on the mat, they'll never give up. They'll keep coming. Three are always three. But in the reality, we can finish one by one. Hitting their head hard enough to not kill them, but nicely to put them down on the concrete. But this is training method. It's not for real. This is training method. So we are showing the training. So always keep charging and make sure he's seeing all the three, knowing where they are. That's how he's feeling where they are. To celebrate 30th anniversary in 10 years' time, of course we need students to keep training, as well as all the family to support and play. Thank you.
