Current self-training regime

 Here is my current self-training regime. 

OSU - AB.

移動基本 (IDO-KIHON)

The first two 連続技 (Renzokuwaza) are hand attacks, the first with closed fists from the free style position and the second with open hands in zenkutsu-dachi. The first primarily relies upon propulsion and moving the center; whereas, the second primarily relies upon the whip like ‘muchiken’. The main point is to maximize the effectiveness of each individual waza.

 

1. (自由立ち、自由な構え) 上段刻み突きから上段追い突きそして中段逆突き (Jiyu-dachi, jiyu na kamae) Jodan kizami-zuki kara jodan oi-zuki soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

2. (前屈立ち) 手刀上段外回し打ちから手同じで手刀上段内回し打ち、手刀縦回し打ちそして背刀上段外回し打ち (Zenkutsu-dachi) Shuto jodan sotomawashi uchi kara te onaji de shuto jodan uchimawashi uchi, shuto tatemawashi uchi soshite haito jodan sotomawashi uchi.

 

The next three combinations are ‘Legs followed by hands’. This requires the high and compact chambering of each keriwaza, relaxed and sharp kicking snap (whipping out and back, again applying the principles ofmuchiken) and body power and weight into to follow-up tewaza; in particular by ‘sinking the support leg’ after kicking to expand again for the drive forward.

 

3. (自由立ち、自由な構え) 中段前蹴り蹴上げから上段追い突きそして中段逆突き (Jiyu-dachi, jiyu na kamae) Chudan mae-geri keage kara jodan oi-zuki soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

4. (自由立ち、自由な構え) 回し蹴りから後ろ蹴り蹴込み、裏拳上段横回し打ちそして中段逆突き (Jiyu-dachi, jiyu na kamae) Mawashi-geri kara uraken jodan yokomawashi uchi soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

5. (前屈立ち、自由な構え) 横蹴り蹴上げから足同じで横蹴り蹴込みそして中段逆突 (Zenkutsu-dachi, jiyu na kamae) Yoko-geri keage kara yoko-geri kekomi soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

The next five idokihonwaza I’m working are the five foundational ukewaza followed by counteractions. The main focal point is to prioritize the initial action (unsoku, tachikata, waza) before making the follow up actions. In sum, ‘attack with uke’. Stressing the 腰の回転 (koshi no kaiten) at the very last moment and the maximization of the 引き手 (hiki-te).

 

6. (前屈立ち) 上段揚げ受けから上段逆突き (Zenkutsu-dachi) Jodan age-uke kara jodan gyaku-zuki.

 

7. (前屈立ち) 中段外受けから中段逆突き (Zenkutsu-dachi) Chudan soto-uke kara chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

8. (前屈立ち) 中段外受けから上段刻み突きそして中段逆突き (Zenkutsu-dachi) Chudan uchi-uke kara jodan kizami-zuki soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

9. (前屈立ち) 下段払いから手同じで裏拳上段縦回し打ち、手同じで上段段横回し打ちそして中段逆突き (Zenkutsu-dachi) Gedan-barai kara te onaji de uraken jodan tatemawashi uchi, te onaji de uraken jodan yokomawashi uchi soshite chudan gyaku-zuki.

 

 

10. (後屈立ち) 手刀中段受けから刻み前蹴りそして中段縦四本貫手 (Kokutsu-dachi) Shuto chudan-uke kara kizami mae-geri soshite chudan tateshihon-nukite.

 

The final waza is the classic Nakayama Masatoshi Sensei’s ‘enpi combination’. The main focus is on junansei of the shoulders, use of the core, and transitions to maximize damage damage to the opponent with the respective elbow strikes.

 

11. (前屈立ち) 縦猿臂から前猿臂、寄り足(騎馬立ち) 横猿臂、回転しながら猿臂、回りながら下がって横揚げ猿臂そして落とし猿臂 (不動立ち) (Zenkutsu-dachi) Tate-enpi kara mae-enpi, yoriashi (Kiba-dachi) yoko-enpi, kaitenshinagara-enpi, mawarinagarasagatte yoko-age-enpi soshite otoshi-enpi (fudo-dachi).
