大学空手部は江上流の効く突きを目指していた。その突き方は兎に角余計な力を抜いて柔らかく、追い突きの際には手が先に出て足がそれについていくようなイメージであった。歩くときに手を振るけれども、右手・右足、左手・左足を同時に前に出すように歩き、その手がそのまま突きに変わったような感じである。
大学空手部に入ったときにはやや違和感を持ったものの、“郷に入っては・・”との思いで素直にそれを練習した。
こんなイメージ
松村宗昆の伝承に「突きの時は足より手を先に出さないとだめだ」というのがあるらしい。これは大学空手部の突きに通じる。体重を突き手に乗せるには、その方が良いのかも知れない。あの恰幅の良い女の子の突きもそんな感じだった。現場のおっさんのパンチも上体が突きに乗っていた。
突きは下手に意識せず、本能のままが一番良いのでなかろうか。空手は、その場突きとか発明して、腕の力、瞬発力だけで突くようになったことにより、本来人間が持つ本能に基づく突きを改悪してしまったのではなかろうか。大学空手部の後輩にも一人だけ、比較的効く突きを出す人が居た。小柄で痩せていたが猫背のために突くときに上体を前に倒し、今思うと突きに上体を被せるような感じが先の現場のオッサンと共通していた。残念なことに宗教にはまって止めてしまったが・・。

The university karate club was aiming at the effective thrust of Egami-ryu. The method was to soften by removing the extra power, and it was an image that the hand went out first and the foot follow it. It is a feeling that the hand has changed to the thrust as it is by walking to the right hand, the right foot, the left hand, and the left foot to put out at the same time though the hand is waved when walking.
When I joined the university karate club, I felt a little uncomfortable, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, I practiced it obediently with the thought that it was .
The image.
It seems that there is a legend of Matsumura Sokon that "You have to put your hands out before your feet when you're thrusting." This leads to the thrust of the university karate club. It might be better to put weight on the thrust. That slightly thicker girl was like that, too. The punch of the on-site middle-aged man was also that the upper body weight was on the thrust .
I think that the thrust is not conscious, and an instinct is the best. Isn't karate originally degraded the thrust based on man's instinct by competiting? There was one person who put out the thrust which was comparatively effective in the junior of the university karate club. Although he was small and thin, he put his upper body weight on his thrust for a stoop, and when I thought about it now, the feeling of putting the upper body on the thrust was common to the man at the previous site. Unfortunately, he was addicted to religion and stopped.
