Returning to
Itoman Seijin’s book Toudi-jutsu no Kenkyu it gives us a clearer glimpse at the environmental concernn of
earlier training.
Some ideas not
often discussed today.
How to Train Elbow Strikes
Elbow
strikes can be trained in the same manner as the closed fist by using the
makiwara.
Single & Double Leg Kicks
There are two kinds of double kicks, simultaneous and combination. In
the former, the feet are brought together as you jump up and then you kick. In
a combination kick, after the first kick is delivered a second kick is launched
to a separate target.
Flying Steps
Flying steps refer to techniques performed while in the air.
Types of flying steps
Flying Cut
Flying In & Flying Back
Triangle Flying
This
technique involves jumping or leaping to three points. That is, you use the footing
from a wall, tree stump or the ground to deliver a kick, move to an
advantageous position, or move to safe distance using three points.is technique
is used to leap over a barrier or obstacle, or to run and leap up to strike
down on an opponent.
Screams
There are three main ways of screaming against an opponent, a direct
scream, a counter scream, or a controlling scream. The first two types of
screams rely upon the use of the energy generated by the inhalation and
exhalation of the breath. The former is used when you initiate your attack to
unite your mind and body with the intent of striking down your opponent. The
later is used when your opponent has screamed at you and you explosively
retaliate with your own. These kinds of screams or yells must be delivered not
only with the entire body, but need to be delivered with an intent that has
depth, breadth, and power. They must also have the strength to strike at and
pierce an opponent’s mind and tower over him. A controlling scream is used to
show your opponent and those around him that you will be victorious, that you
and your attacks will overcome him.
Strange Voices
Strange voices refer to mimicking the sounds of animals such as the
monkey, crane and tiger to create an opening in the opponent. It is a means of
mesmerizing the opponent with the voice.
Sickle Reap
The sickle reap resembles the motion of cutting grass with a sickle
where you use your ankles to reap the legs from under an opponent.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
