D erjenige pursuing an aikido techniques or using a means to Japanese tori . which is usually translated as "he who takes." stefan Stenudd points out that the kanji for 取り tori for someone who is, pull the ears of another. a not unknown in our culture gesture to warn someone or "the right to carry away" (Stefan Stenudd: aikido. page 132). the practice expects tori the attack of the uke and "converts" to this draft in a (Japanese nage waza ) or a grab bar (Japanese Osae waza ).
D hese expectation is often kamae known. in almost all dojo I know, the following document (Japanese Hanmi gamae) is taken : a foot is forward, the other behind the right angle to the respective hand and just above the foot. the body is angled about 45 °. the attacker to take such a hand, or with both the forearm or the wrist of the next available low of tori . is usually stated that in the moment of contact, tori off in his motion.
M a question here is: does that mean?
D as take the expectations and wait until the contact is taking place together. because if we walk normally comes Hanmi gamae never before. It would at least be very strange if we would thus exert every step that then every time we sell one foot forward, we are in this posture. during normal walking while swinging back and also the pool, but never so much that the body they reached 45 degrees, as it is for the Hanmi attitude so typical.
M an assertion is: if we are normal, then we are never in the Hanmi attitude and if we are in the entertainment Hanmi can we do not go. from Hanmi you can easily make a slide step (Japanese tsugiashi ). while leaving the front foot forward and the rear back. When the slide step is completed, you will find yourself back in the same Hanmi attitude as before, only by 50-60 cm further forward or back.
W hen we go normal, following options are available in the Hanmi to get maintenance. we pull the back foot up to the front or back the other way around the front to the rear. both feet are parallel, and from this we then go into the Hanmi position. it is Hanmi a stop or the smooth transition from a normal walk and move to the start of aikido techniques and not the starting point.
W he fits but the movement of the uke in there? is my suggestion: we turn a normal everyday movement out an offer to the uke . We offer the uke to us, to a certain attack. or in other words, if someone the role of the uke wants to take , then we put him close to a kind of attack. suggest in this case means the attack is plausible, can be carried forward efficiently and effectively. and any other attack is to address more complicated or easier than this attack plausible.
D he's initiative here from the tori . he (or she) makes an offer. the uke actually decides only whether he (or she) wants to accept the offer or not. The offer must be taken seriously. the uke must see a real chance to successfully to attack. if this chance is not given to the attacking movements is a farce, for appointment, the choreography of that look like aikido movements, it is not. the tori must, in my opinion the risk received to be taken. he must be really open, so that the uke can occur , leaves and enters the safety distance to the tori . than vice versa opens at least one attack every weak point in uke .
N iemand is this weakness voluntarily (as attacker) to offer, if there is no chance to successfully attack. if the tori makes no offer, the uke but decides to attack, then the situation is unpredictable in the high mass for the tori . if the tori tried against every possible attack of to protect uke , then the uke so long to test the coverage until he has found a vulnerability. both are strategies for tori associated with a significantly greater risk than a serious offer to make the weakness.
D ies I think one of the most difficult exercises in aikido. to learn, serious offers of weakness, vulnerability to . Make I do so and only lurked on the moment at which I finally can use the trendy technology, then the uke than come half-heartedly. I remain, in the offer, so I take the attack. I may neither have a close eye still afraid. what remains is a friendly serenity the uke over .
S o as I welcome my best friend and my attitude towards him as the supply may contain a hug. my friend is accurately registered, whether offered my hug is serious. only when he sees and feels this is a warm embrace, he will accept it and respond. with the exact same feeling can be the uke meet . I have him meet with the same open heart, like my best friend, my wife or my children.
M al assumed there is something to it. how can it go then? I open the uke in a certain way, like this, attack that he Katate red dori can (he holds both hands with one of my forearms). may arise from such an aikido technique that dissolves the threat environment, the attack can go into the empty? some in a loving embrace both human unconscious as to which arm below wraps around the body of the other and the other around his neck and shoulder. where one has his arm down, the other must have his arm up and vice versa. the two movements fit and closed as key to the other and without hesitation, hook trigger, synchronized with each other. speechless. move freely throughout the body, which happens hug. Both express their quality-physical, emotional and cognitive of the moment is from. if such a hug "successful", both so happy.
S o I imagine this also with the movements of uke and tori before. makes the opening of "if you want to attack me seriously, so this is where the right place, in order to succeed," the tori the offer. the uke looks at the type and automatically are both movements as a lock and key. the uke synchronized unconsciously from the start his attack with the offer. basically, it all is so important happened! the tori leads the movement of the uke and this gives it the possibility of the attack to give a different quality.
D hese other quality-defense means. the offer is out there f UR the tori possible by very small, unobtrusive changes in body posture, hand position, foot position, the tilt contrary interpretation of the situation in their to leave. the attack of the uke is then to his defense. and that in such a way that does not stop the motion of uke do that. he must continue the attack as a defense, so he can protect themselves.
D he aikido technique itself is "only" moreover, this defense by a draft or a holding technique to solve . the uke must be unconsciously happy that nothing worse happened. if the tori his warm, open heart retains until the end, can the uke also nothing bad to happen. the attack is gone. d he aikido techniques represents the medium in which this transformation can happen. both the uke and the tori who succeed to such a technique in.
E igentlich , my I done that work together through this technology and not by the tori alone. it is the common result of uke and tori dar. ideally remain intact both and both can accept this result. The starting point is the open heart of tori . Without this openness gets to practice the routine, for sport, for wrangling or competition. each of us can decide at any moment, what is important. and what we want them to take in our daily life.
