This leads us to the next concept: kuzushi. Beyond that, kyushu enables the person who’s “listening” more intently to then direct the flow of the confrontation as he or she sees fit. The fundamental sabaki concept of kyushu means “to absorb the oncoming force of an opponent.” If your adversary launches a strike with a given amount of energy, you should plan on absorbing precisely that amount of energy so it’s canceled out. The following principles and techniques will illustrate the enshin expression of sabaki. In the art my father created and in sabaki, we wish to honor and strengthen this fighting spirit, but at the same time we recognize our limitations and seek ways to use our unique talents to grow physically and mentally. In many circles, the hallmark of doing full-contact karate is the ability to endure physical punishment from an opponent and persevere despite normal human limitations. Grasping sabaki to the point at which you’re capable of using it in a match requires plenty of patience, sincerity and humility. That said, I must note that learning sabaki, like everything else in life, also involves a caveat. This allows you to feel early on when a technique is done correctly or incorrectly. You’re working with natural geometric shapes like circles, triangles, straight lines and spirals. The irony is that when you use sabaki, you’re not fighting your opponent. This serves as a bridge to grappling for people who are used to striking and a bridge to striking for grapplers who are used to the ground. I chose these four because during the pandemic, my father decided to incorporate newaza (ground techniques) into the enshin curriculum. In this article, I will present four concepts and several related techniques that illustrate this special quality of sabaki. Sabaki is not a martial art per se rather, it’s a traditional idea that’s open to evolution and reinterpretation - and that just might precipitate a revolution in the fighting arts. My father Joko Ninomiya, the founder and grandmaster of enshin karate, created the Sabaki Challenge, a tournament designed to highlight this intelligent system of working with an opponent’s force, which often involves taking advantage of circles and leverage. The name translates to the way of the fist and foot, and if grappling uses the same parts as a striking art, how exactly would it no longer be TKD?īut didn't you just say you didn't want face punches, takedowns, (which are part of kukkiwon taekwondo), because it wouldn't be taekwondo any more?In Japanese, sabaki means “to work with energy efficiently.” It’s a state of being that expresses strength coupled with ease and grace. Rules for Examining In order to help examiners more correctly assess progress and development in Ashihara Karate, the following rules and guidelines are presented for adoption at all strata. Like the latter, full-contact punches and. Ashihara Karate, led by Karate Kaicho Hoosain Narker of South Africa, is a practical karate system based on Sabaki - Japanese Fighting Karate. There's even a pull-in punch (I've only used this once in karate after being kicked in the balls, the other student started giggling and side-stepping, so i grabbed their gi and punched them hard in the face, not quite the way tkd does it, but the fact it's there, shows that it should be practiced and can and should be used in sparring).Īnd if most fights go to the ground, adding submission grappling to keep your students safe would be a good idea. Thus it should come as no surprise that the Sabaki Challenge rules are patterned after those of the All-Japan.
We have effective jireugi, many which are punches to the face, chin, philtrum, even continues punches, like the C-punch (or U-punch), really if you added bobbing and weaving from boxing (as well as punching drills), then that would help improve the style.
