standard of the grappling teclmique.
The exercise of the Grappling techniques should be based upon that
of the holding. The techniques of choking and
those of bending and twisting the joints might
be practiced in a standing position. In reality, however, they are mostly
practiced in Randori in the l ying position. In these
cases, the various actions and f
undamental managings of
body can
be trained very safely and effectively
with
the techniques
of holding. And those
of
choking, and those of bending and twisti
ng the joints
are very often followed or changed from those of holding.
So, as the techniques of throwing and grappling are performed successively, those
of holding, choking and joint tricks are always practiced in
a
trial. One
must choose some to meet
the attack of the opponent.
Thus trained and applied accordingly, the
techniques
shall be drilled
more
and
more,
and
the interest for t he an shall be deepened ever more.
For the exercise of those techniques, as
in
those of throwing, they
should be performed gently
and bearingly, shunn i ng always
the
rigidity of body and the stiffeni ng of mind .
about the techniques of holding
•
These techniques are performed
in holding the opponent thrown on the
back. To hold the oppenent thrown on h is face is not the proper Holding. That is because there is
a way of thinking that in the
latter posture, it is much eas1er to rise
for
the held one than when thrown on the back, the effect of holding
in
this case is not so perfect as
in
the former.
'The opponent
to whom the holding technique is
applied will do·his
best
to
rise or
to
change the position. The
holder
should control him completely, not
only with
the
strong hand ,
but with
all
the power
of
his
body
accordingly and effectively against the every
attitude
of the
opponent as the occasion
may demand.
In
the Holding, the
following points demand considerations.
To hold with
one's all
energies.
To hold
every
spot
to prevent the
opponent's rising.
To make
the opponent fail in all his effort to rise, not to concentrate one's
strength on one
side.
It is not allowed, though
in the excess
of endeavour
hold or to rise, to
touch the oppenenr's face or to grasp him at random except the costume.
about the technique of
choking
There are two
kinds of techniques : Neck Choking and
Trunk Squeezing. Only the former
is
exercised.
Choking means to oppress the neck from both sides, and not to strangle. To be effective in
this technique,
the following points demand considerations.
To control all bodily
actions of the opponent. To press the opponent's neck with the narrow part of the arm.
•
To keep one's
body
quite
free,
so
as to take an active part
if necessary.
ln the exercise,
it
is not allowed to shut the oppenent's mouth or
nose
with
one's palm,
or to grasp
the
throat . It is a matter of course these behaviors could not be
regarded
as the proper
tricks.
about the techniques
of bending and
twisting
the joints.
There are many
varieties
in
this
category. Exercises are performed only
on
the
elbow joint. The methods prone to break
the
neckbone or the back bone
are stricktly prohibited.
The exercise on the elbow joint, the following
points should
be taken into
considerations.
To control all the bodily
actions of the opponent.
One's strength
should be used by the principle of fulcrum.
To keep one's body quite
free for every action.
form (kata)
form is a system
of . exercises arranged and systematised for the most appropriate application of techniques in some
determined case. By the practices of Kata one can easily learn the theory of attack and defense and at
the same time the applications of the
fu ndamental tricks. But,
one can never be
'trained' oneself by the forms only, because the forms are always prearranged exercises.
not the photo in the book which was to small to reproduce
1. Forms of Throwing,
2.
Forms of Grappling,
3.
Forms of Gentleness,
4. Forms of Decision,
5. Form Antique,
6.
Forms of
•Five,'
7. Forms of the National
Physical Education
(based on t he principle
of Maximum-Efficiency.)
In each of these
Forms,
many tricks are arranged for a certain
object,
selecting those which are theoretically or practically
valuable among
the
innumerable methods of attack
and defence.
Forms
of Throwing and Grappling
are called en bloc Forms of Randori
(Free Exercise). These are arranged
for
the study of theory and practice of all the. techniques of
throwing and
grappling generally
employed in Free Exercise.
The Forms
of Gentleness are
all
very
gentle actions, and arranged for the regular
exercise
how
to manage the body in attack and defence, and how
to employ one's
strength
most effectively.
The physical education is specially taken
into
consideration for the choice of these
forms : so they are adequate for the st udy
of Jud
o and for .the practice of its movements,
irrespective of age
and
sex.
Furthermore,
as the methods of attack and defence are
there
manifested expressively, the study of these forms are
quite enjoyable, and are prone
to deepen the interest of Judo. These
forms can be performed regardless of dress and location.
The Forms of Decision
aim
at
the teaching of the principle of
body-managing and the theory
of attack and defence
with t he
techniques of attacking
the vital
points.
The so-called
Forms
Antique and those of •Five' teach the general principle of
techniques, including many
interesting phases of Judo : so they can be said "Art in judo."
The Forms of
National Physical Education (based
on
the
principle
of Maximum-Efficiency) were devised
for a gymnastic system, as the
nomination shows. Its Single Exercise aims at the
training of techniques
of
attacking
the
vital
points, and the Companionate Exercise is chosen
from the forms of Gentleness and
of Decision, aiming
at
the same points
of
importance
in
these
forms.
