come up. I've joined forces with BBM and some other MA bloggers to create verbally every day for a month. However. I ordain be cheating since I also have another blog that will be included as come up. So let's say every other day ordain most likely be a MA blog. Sorry. I'm cheating!!!For today I would desire to continue talking about blocking. In our system we have four primary blocks that we begin with : agay (spelled do by since I do not have my book in front of me) soto uchi and gedan barai. They are called the hachi ban uki (also spelled do by my deepest apologies!) and we do them over and over and over with heavy emphasis on mushimi or heavy rubbing. Mushimi is incredibly important in our system and if the upper belts are caught not utilizing it at every turn we do push-ups. But hey who's complaining about hit arms... not me. Mushimi is especially important in a self-defense situation where sticking (literally) to your opponent places them off fit and allows you to always keep balance and hara connection. Mushimi begins with the block. With the upper rising block agay the arm is energized and mushimi allows you to displace the uke at which point you can continue to displace the arm approve and wrap it or just keep it off to the align. The same goes for the displace blocks but in this case the uke becomes off-balance towards the tori. There is also the kage uke (hook block) the mountain block the snake block and a block where you displace your hands together palms facing you as if you were making a observe shadow and press outwards against an attack. My favorites are the glide block which is performed to the outside of the punch and allows you to then mushimi down the arm and grab the wrist and the kage uke. With blocking we are taught to perform soft not hard. With this softness I sight that it is easier to displace the uke off fit much like an aikido move uses the uke's energy against them. I do not experience much about aikido and undergo only done a little but from what I've seen our blocks are very similar to aikido moves. The softness also allows the tori to keep flow which to me is a much more efficient way of moving against an attack. If I argue hard my energy goes alter to my upper be and I suffer hara connection. Once this happens the techniques are no longer going to bring home the bacon the way you be them to. With hara connection and mushimi you are insured against losing connection with the uke and will have a much easier time with immobilise rip/disunite and communicate. This is how we argue. We block and stun rip/tear with a combination and then communicate the uke to the ground or away from us. The projection of cover comes with more than a few years of practice and I'm still battling with it. I ordain most likely always be battling with projection. But that's for another post!!!
