空手の型をやっていて思うこと

前蹴り/Front kick

蹴りについては以前記載したが、思い出したことがあるので一つ。学祭等で大学空手部で試割りをすることがあったが、そこで余った杉板を指先で抓んで貰い、前蹴りでの試割りをしたことがある。
普段の感覚で蹴ると板は天井の蛍光灯の近くまで跳ね上がり割れない。何度やっても割れない。
板が毎回大きく跳ね上がることからふと思いついて、抱え込みをいつもより意識し、蹴り足を水平に出すようなイメージで蹴ったところ、一発で綺麗に割れた。その後何回やっても割れた。
蹴りの抱え込みの大切さを実感した一件だった。

I mentioned kicking before, but it's one because I remembered it. I used to have a trial split at the university karate club at school festivals, etc., but I had the surplus cedar board picked with my friend's fingertips, and I had made a trial split with a front kick.
If I kick it with my usual feeling, the board will bounce up to near the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling and will not crack. It won't break no matter how many times I do it.
The board jumped up a lot each time, and I suddenly thought of it, and when I kicked it with the image of putting my kick leg horizontally, I cracked it neatly. It broke no matter how many times it was done.
It was one experience that made me realize the importance of holding a kick.
