空手の型をやっていて思うこと

古伝の型―観空・公相君(大) (2)/Traditional Kata - Kanku / Kushanku(Dai) (2)

学生時代に観空を覚えたとき、左手で上段回し受けの後の右手手刀打ち込みは抜き手にした方が良いのではないか、玄制流のS.I.先生の教えからしたらその方が最短距離で目の前の相手へ攻撃できるし、合理的だろうと思っていた。だから最初は抜き手で練習していたが、大学の諸先輩方は「そこは抜き手ではなく手刀だ」と言うので手刀に変えた。

     Fig.1 手刀打ち込み(knifehand strike)

一人で練習するようになってからも手刀で練習しているが、抜き手じゃないのかな、と思うことが多い。ただ、「船越義珍の空手 解明 型の原型」 by 井脇宣弘氏では、船越 義珍先生は、むしろ大鉈を振るうように大きく回すように指導して居られたとのことである。

先日寝ながら考えていたときにふと、これは手刀打ち込みではなく、相手の右手を左手で取り、そのまま相手を引き込み/自分の背後・下段に流しつつ、右手で相手の体制を崩すのをアシストする動作と解釈することはできそうだな、と思った。前蹴りは間合いに応じて膝蹴りにするか、相手の足の間に挿して相手の体制を崩す(足を引っ掛ける)のに使うと考えることもできる。相手の懐に入るので相手の左手のカウンターに注意が必要ではあるが・・。

オリジナルの解釈の積りではあるが、いろいろな分解動画を数多く見ているので、記憶にないだけで誰かがやっていたのを見たことがあるのかも知れない。

    Fig.2 Break the opponent’s balance

 

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

I learned to Kanku when I was a student. I thought thrust at my fingertips would be better than the right-knife-hand strike after the upper-stage turning with the left hand, which is the shortest distance from the teaching of Mr.S.I. of the Gensei-ryu. I thought it would be rational because I could attack the opponent in front of me. That's why I practiced with poke with fingertips at first, but seniors at the university said, "It's not poke with fingertips, but a knife-hand strike," so I changed it to a knife-hand strike.

→ See above Fig.1

I've been practicing with a knife-hand since I started practicing alone, but I often wonder if it's a fingertips. But "Gichin Funakoshi's karate elucidation prototype" by Nobuhiro Iwaki It is said that Mr. Gichin was rather instructed to make like swinging a big hatchet.

When I was thinking in bed the other day, this was not a knife-hand strike, but I took the opponent's right hand with my left hand and pulled in the opponent as it was / assisted to break the opponent's ballance with my right hand while flowing behind and below me. I thought it could be interpreted as an action. The front kick can be considered as a knee kick depending on the distance, or it can be used to break the opponent's ballance by inserting it between the opponent's legs (hook the foot). It is necessary to pay attention to the counter on the left hand of the opponent because I will get closer to the opponent.

It's my original interpretation, but since I've seen a lot of videos, I may have seen someone doing it just because I don't remember it.
