Haze

2018-04-24

"Kasumi-uchi" is a "back-handed strike" in modern karate terminology. In Motobu Kenpo, for example, the first movement after the crossing of the naihanchi is interpreted as a haze strike.

The photo above shows a scene in the early Showa period in which Motobu Tomoki instructed women to break down haze as a decomposition of naihanchi. In Itosu Yasutsune's Naihanchi, this part is changed to a back sword holder, but in Motobu Asaki and Yabe Kenmichi's Naihanchi, it is a haze strike (see "Transition of Naihanchi").

It is often said that "all karate kata begin with a receiver", but in Koryu Naihanchi, it begins with an attack. Or at least there were people who interpreted it that way.

 

In recent years, research on Koryu karate has become popular, and the claim that "kata receiving is attack" is not necessarily uncommon. However, as one of the arguments for this assertion, I think that books and dictionaries of Motobu Tomoki are often cited.

 

Is this haze original to Motobu Asamoto?　In fact, even the Motobu Gotente of Motobu Asayu uses haze.

Therefore, at least for the Asayu and Asaki brothers, haze striking was not an uncommon technique. It was probably a common technique to some extent in ancient tea and karaoke.
