Concept: Ochiru (Luòchiru, knock out)

 

The term knockout is valid to refer to a ' blow that leaves out of combat ', as well as the ' defeat for out-of-Combat ', as the dictionary of the royal Spanish Academy picks up, and is preferable to knockout knockout. The word has already been hispanizado as a knockout and appears in the academic dictionary as americanism, so this last word is recommended to the foreigner.

It is also used for the abbreviation ko, which, by reading almost always, is considered to be better an acronym, as indicated by the academic spelling, i.e. without points or space; for the same reason, it is also not applied in italics or quotes, although appropriate A Foreign Voice.

From the verb to knock out has been formed to knock out, which in boxing means ' leave out of combat ' and that in the general language has the senses of ' leaving unconscious with a blow ' and ' defeating quickly and forcefully ', as the dictionary explains I'm doubtful. The noun knockout, derived from this verb, is also valid.

Anyway, the expression that means " out of combat It is said in boxing when one of the contenders leaves without knowledge or without the possibility of continuing to fight the other.

In Japanese Martial Arts (Budo, buguei and bujutsu), the term ' Ochiru ' luòchiru is used, the meaning of which is ' lost, sinking, crashing, omitting, failing, falling, falling, collapsing,,,,, Crash.

Judo Sensei Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki explains in his excellent book 'Shimewaza':

" the ochiru >>> is the word that defines in judo the unconsciousness, the core of the concept of shimewaza.

In Japan, the occasional loss of consciousness is not a problem. In the 50 s and 60 s, it was normal for the new Japanese Black Belt, to be strangled to unconsciousness by his master, continuing the tradition.

However, to deliberately mislead a person, it is a dangerous and unacceptable practice in dojo s

The most efficient of is below the upper carotid artery, preventing blood from reaching the cerebral cortex. Scientific reports on such an action explain: "... it has been confirmed that complete obstruction of blood flow to the brain or suffocation by complete blockage of the trachea will result in irreversible damage, which may cause death. The unconsciousness caused by in judo is a temporary reaction, which incapacitates the opponent for a short period and whose action is fairly innocuous...

Among the different levels of unconsciousness described, in judo we can take into account four levels:

1. The first, it's very light, mental control of the body has been lost, but the subject still knows where it is and what happens. It's a feeling like everything's happening in the distance. This is the most common type of unconsciousness, and recovery is very fast.
2. The second guy is something deeper. There's no control over the body or the mind, but it's just like I'm sleeping.
3. The third type is a state where the opponent can shudder with a certain drama, as if he had an attack.
4. The fourth guy is the deepest state of unconsciousness. At this level, all body control functions are lost, pupils are dilate, the opponent can have cramps and can even wet himself. This is an extreme case, which may need medical attention, but most importantly, it is not to get to this type of situation.

In most cases, there is no need to intervene if there is something superficial, the only thing that is necessary is to turn the head back and forth gently and give a slight blow to the face. You have to act with kindness, you won't know what happened, or where you are and you'll need a few moments to get used to it.

In Japan, resuscitation techniques are taught (Kapo), there are a variety of techniques that can be used to restore consciousness to an unconscious person. It should be noted that since the judo foundation in 1882, there has been no incident with fatal consequences for shimewaza. However, the high judo competition has given more than a " scare " to competitors, technicians and referees."

The Ochiru in can be caused by three types of actions:

1. Impacts with members (punches, kicks, elbows, etc. .
2. Impacts due to the shock of a fall.
3. Respiratory and / or blood.
4. Manipulations, pressures and grab of-Jutsu.

Each system has its own or resuscitation techniques for when the ochiru occurs at the dojo by accident.
