【70 minutes】Self-defense techniques for women【Shorinji Kempo】

0:02 Today's Kuro-obi World is a self-defense technique for women.

0:13 Look at this woman.

0:15 She looks very strong.

0:21 This is Mio Narumi, a Shorinji Kempo practitioner and actor.

0:28 Today, let's learn self-defense techniques from Inoue Sensei together with Mio.

0:42 Your daily life may seem peaceful, but suddenly something dangerous may happen.

0:50 What should you do when you find yourself in danger?

0:54 Please take your time to watch the 70-minute feature film “Protect Yourself with Shorinji Kempo!

1:04 Have you ever felt unsafe in your daily life?

1:09 I never actually had to fight, but I think Shorinji Kempo was useful in detecting danger in advance.

1:16 Shorinji Kempo itself is self-defense.

1:19 I believe that everyone can detect danger for themselves.

1:23 For example, do you want to go through a bright and crowded place or a dark and less crowded place?

1:30 Women would choose a place that is more crowded and safer.

1:35 If you are in a crowded place, someone will be there to help you when danger arises.

1:44 I think everyone can detect whether a place is dangerous or safe.

1:48 Women may avoid places where many men are gathered and making noise.

2:00 The very idea of how to avoid dangerous places is self-defense.

2:09 Every woman, regardless of Shorinji Kempo, would think that way.

2:14 If you feel any discomfort or danger, you should stay away.

2:20 I think it is important to keep that in mind on a regular basis.

2:30 First, let's practice the case of your hand being pulled.

2:33 What would you do?

2:43 Well, let me explain.

2:45 If you resist his pull, he pulls harder.

2:50 When he pulls, you go up close to him.

2:54 Do not resist the pulling force.

2:57 Resistance throws you off balance.

3:00 Mio have now defended yourself well with Shorinji Kempo techniques.

3:05 But amateurs are pulled this way.

3:09 If he pulls you, he might hit you with that hand.

3:13 You go behind him using a force greater than his pulling force.

3:22 And kick.

3:26 Very good.

3:32 Let's try again.

3:34 If you inevitably get pulled,

3:41 he will use your strength to balance himself and try to hit you.

3:45 He assumes your repulsive force is coming and tries to hit or throw you with it.

3:50 You approach him on your own, against his expectations.

3:55 Try again.

3:56 Get in behind him without resisting.

4:08 Pulled without resistance, or like this.

4:13 If he grabs your hand, hit his eye.

4:15 If he grabs you, approach him.

4:18 Not in this direction, but behind his shoulder.

4:21 Then hit him in the eye.

4:25 Strike his temple with "ura-ken".

4:27 You can strike from his front or from the side.

4:37 Try it.

4:49 If he actually pulls you, you will be at a distance where you can easily attack him.

4:57 Let's try again.

5:06 You're very good.

5:11 You mean that if the opponent pulls your hand, you approach him instead of resisting with all your might?

5:19 Could you please elaborate a bit more?

5:23 Pull my hand.

5:25 If I resist, you pull harder.

5:30 I would use the force of the pull to get closer to you.

5:34 This is resistance.

5:38 Not so, I do this while approaching you.

5:40 Don't resist the pull of your opponent.

5:43 Move forward in the direction of the pull.

5:45 If you are off balance, get in behind your opponent like this.

5:51 I'll tell you something important.

5:53 If you are about to lose your balance, you want to resist.

5:58 But once you lose your balance, you can move like this.

6:08 Your body position collapses toward the person who is pulling your hand.

6:15 Then you do this while collapsing.

6:18 There is another method.

6:20 If your hand is grabbed, do this.

6:22 Approach the opponent without resisting.

6:30 Then attack.

6:33 You use the force of the pull.

6:36 And you raise your wrist up.

6:41 Do not pull at each other with force.

6:45 It catches you off guard for a second, doesn't it?

6:48 Try it.

6:48 I'm pulling you.

6:52 Raise your hand up.

6:54 Get closer to me now.

6:58 Good. One more time.

7:04 Now you resisted a little, didn't you?

7:06 I'm going to pull harder, and you'll move with it.

7:11 That's right.

7:16 Put your hand up.

7:21 Good.Try again.

7:22 Resist with force.

7:25 You will be pulled, won't you?

7:27 Approaching with a pull.

7:31 Then you hit the eye and "Ura-ken".

7:36 If you pull at each other, the stronger side wins.

7:40 If you get grabbed, you open your hand.

7:47 Your arm is raised now.

7:51 Bring your elbow close to the opponent.

7:54 Put your body between the opponent and your elbow.

7:56 From this situation, if you pull with force, you will lose.

8:01 Bring your elbow close to the opponent.

8:04 Then move your hand like this.

8:10 Then you hit the eye.

8:12 This is called "En-ryu" (Flows in a circle) in Shorinji Kempo.

8:16 When I raise my hand up, your shoulder goes up, right?

8:21 This is "En-ryu" .

8:22 Pull.

8:24 Can you see it?

8:26 Your pinky side palm is open.

8:31 You must pull with your fingers alone.

8:34 That's why you can't pull.

8:35 Try to pull.

8:36 It slips, doesn't it?

8:37 This is “Kagite-shuho” in Shorinji Kempo.

8:41 This situation is easy for you to pull, isn't it?

8:46 The strengths are against each other.

8:50 Let me point my thumb upward in a circular motion.

8:53 Then this part will open up.

8:54 Grip it as hard as you can.

8:57 But this part is open.

8:59 You can't pull me with just the strength of your fingers.

9:04 Would this be the same for men?

9:08 Hold my hand tightly and pull it back.

9:10 Normally, we would pull against each other.

9:13 But when we both have the same force, I will point my thumb up.

9:19 With just this he cannot pull it off.

9:23 Can't you pull it?

9:23 Absolutely not.

9:27 I can relax completely.

9:31 You cannot grip it tightly?

9:32 That's right.

9:33 Because he uses only his fingers to pull.

9:35 This way it's easier to pull, right?-Yes.

9:38 But this way...

9:41 Wait a minute.

9:43 Is this true?

9:45 Let me experience it myself.

9:48 Please hold my hand with all your might.

9:51 Please pull me.

9:52 Easy, right?

9:54 But...

9:55 What?

9:56 I can't pull it at all!

9:58 Why?

9:59 Oh, it's true!

10:01 It's true!

10:03 Grab it with both hands.

10:07 Actually, it is easier for me if you grab it with both hands.

10:11 Because it creates a triangle like this.

10:16 Grip it as hard as you can.

10:21 My whole body is stretched out!

10:24 I am sorry for doubting you!

10:26 This is true!

10:27 Certainly this would be suitable for women.

10:40 Use this as a fulcrum to bring the elbow forward.

10:44 Too much.

10:45 Now he can't pull anymore.

10:50 Relax and open your hand.

10:53 With this part of his hand open, the only thing he can use is his fingers.

11:00 It is not enough to pull her weight.

11:07 He may grab you with his other hand.

11:10 What would you do in this case?

11:16 You lower your thumb.

11:19 He can't pull anymore.

11:23 Grab it with both hands.

11:30 Now you can pull.

11:39 So, if he grabs you like this,

11:45 you turn your hand down.

11:50 Then this part of his hand will open.

11:56 You can easily pull this hand out.

11:59 You can take him down like this.

12:08 At this moment he collapses.

12:11 If the opponent grabs your hand, make this shape.

12:15 He can't pull away no matter how hard he tries.

12:18 This is "Kagite-shuho" in Shorinji Kempo.

12:21 Earlier, the circle went to the shoulder.

12:26 If grabbed by another hand, this circle heads downward.

12:36 Now try it.

12:54 You can deal with it in many ways, such as hitting the eye.

13:00 Try "Jyu-ji gote".

13:06 This part of him opened up so you could do “Jyu-ji gote” easily.

13:12 Let's try it again.

13:16 Hand down.

13:18 See, “Jyu-ji gote” works better, doesn't it?

13:41 If someone grabs your hand, make a circle.

13:46 That is "Kagite-shuho".

13:48 It can be from above or below.

13:51 As you get better, the circle becomes a sphere.

13:55 Draw a sphere horizontally or vertically.

14:03 This is a vertical sphere.

14:08 There are many different ways.

14:10 Drawing circles in "Kagite" is very important for women.

14:16 This makes your opponent lose strength.

14:21 Can this technique be learned at an advanced level?

14:26 No, you can learn from the beginner level.

14:28 "Kote-nuki" is the first technique to learn.

14:31 However, words such as “En-ryu” are difficult to understand, so we teach them through experience of the movements.

14:40 Let me show you what I explain to beginners.

14:46 When you pull against each other, the stronger wins.

14:50 With the force being equal, point your thumbs up.

14:54 It is like pulling each other's strings and then suddenly changing directions.

15:01 You do that with one hand.

15:05 You change the direction of the string that is connecting you to your partner.

15:09 That is "Kagite-shuho".

15:14 You can also do it in this direction.

15:16 But this is the basic movement.

15:18 This is the part that opens up.

15:21 That is the important point.

15:22 Your partner cannot pull your weight just by the power of his fingers.

15:34 I see! At this time, you are also approaching the opponent instead of resisting him with all your might.

15:41 This is easy to understand.

15:43 The opponent pulls you with both hands.

15:45 Do this while approaching him.

15:48 This is “En-ryu”.

15:49 Raise your hands a little and he would lose his balance.

15:58 This is how you manipulate him.

16:01 Do it in the moment.

16:04 It leads to the next attack.

16:09 Let's do this.

16:12 You can't use both hands, so watch out for his kicks as you approach.

16:20 Do this with your elbow while approaching.

16:30 From this position, pull both hands towards your body.

16:42 Very good!

16:45 After that, any technique will work.

16:50 Try again.

17:03 It's the same principle for both hands.

17:08 This is easy for him to pull off.

17:12 Drop your arm like this.

17:18 Drop your arm like this.

17:20 You shouldn't be pulling each other like this.

17:27 If you make him like this, he can't do anything.

17:35 Is it not good to get too close?

17:36 You can get close, but he may kick you.

17:40 So you have to do it quickly.

17:50 Drop your arm down.

17:51 Keep your elbows in.

17:53 When his hand opens, do the same as before.

18:04 Let's try again.

18:05 You're good.

18:26 You can also do it this way.

18:35 I'll show it slowly.

18:37 Now, try this as well.

18:41 An attack on groin or his eyes is most effective.

19:09 Take advantage of the difference in size between you and the man and aim for his eyes or groin.

19:23 Even a small piece of dust in the eye hurts.

19:28 For men, a kick in the groin hurts to death.

19:33 Then do it again.

19:52 “Hi-jitsu Kyo-geki”.

19:53 Aim at the opponent's unprotected area.

19:55 Attack the opponent's weak points, such as the eyes or groin, using your strongest technique.

20:07 Striking techniques are also very effective and will be explained later.

20:24 Earlier I said that you attack either the eyes or the groin.

20:37 You would think, "He's got me. What should I do?” .

20:43 He can attack you in many ways.

20:45 Can you describe this situation in other words?

20:53 He has a hold on me now.

20:55 What can you say about this?

20:57 His face is defenseless.

20:57 Yes, it is.

20:59 His groin is also unprotected.

21:01 There are other unprotected areas, aren't there?

21:03 So, we can think of it this way.

21:06 The fact that he is grabbing you means that he has approached you with his own two hands folded.

21:11 In other words, he is handcuffed.

21:14 With that perspective, you will see the unprotected parts of his body.

21:21 What he could do would be kicking.

21:24 He absolutely cannot hit you while he has you in his grasp.

21:31 Therefore, when he grabs your hand, look at his whole body.

21:35 Do not just look at the part he grabbed.

21:38 Instead of looking at his attack, look at his unprotected parts.

21:41 Do not dwell on the part that was grabbed.

21:46 Then you can deal with the hand.

21:51 It is important to look at his entire body, not just his actions.

21:59 Then you will see his various unprotected parts.

22:02 So, you can say that he approaches you with handcuffs.

22:07 You will feel better when you think about it.

22:12 Don't think he is trying to grab you and kick you.

22:16 What if someone approaches you who can't use both hands?

22:19 Then you deal with it.

22:21 Let's do what you do when your hands are grabbed.

22:34 Let's do "Okuri-gote".

22:35 His face is unprotected when he is holding your hand.

22:41 Let's practice having that perspective.

22:59 He did not grab your hand.

23:00 You intentionally made him grab your hand.

23:40 As we have practiced today, the important thing in Shorinji Kempo is to have different perspectives.

23:52 If your opponent attacks you in many different ways, that is just a perspective from his side.

24:04 If you yourself have that perspective, you will think that you will be beaten.

24:10 Rather, at the moment your hand is taken, the opponent is completely unprotected.

24:14 The attack has not yet come.

24:15 You can defend yourself.

24:16 Always look at both sides of a situation.

24:22 See the whole body, not just one part.

24:24 Look at the other part of the body, not just the part that was grabbed.

24:27 That is “kyo-jitsu,” looking at the opponent's “kyo” = defenseless part.

24:31 If you look only at the opponent's attack, you would not know what to do.

24:37 If I kick you like this, what situation is this for you?

24:43 "Mawashi-geri"?

24:44 Surely I am attacking you with "Mawashi-geri".

24:46 What does this mean for you who defend it?

24:51 Do you understand?

24:52 What about another perspective?

24:56 What am I doing at the same time as kicking?

25:00 You're only looking at this leg, right?

25:02 I block it.

25:03 Surely you will block this.

25:04 He will kick you like this.

25:07 Look at this.

25:08 He is defending here, but his groin is unprotected.

25:13 Other parts of his body are also unprotected like this.

25:18 His face is also unprotected, so you can attack.

25:23 In other words, my groin is defenseless when I am kicking Mawashi-geri at you.

25:30 What will you do?

25:33 I kick you in the groin and hit you in the face.

25:35 You definitely would, wouldn't you?

25:37 You see your opponent kicking and you focus on the danger.

25:45 But you find him unprotected, you'll kick him yourself.

25:49 You changed your mind, didn't you?

25:51 You practice with those two perspectives in mind.

25:55 When he kicks, his face and belly are unprotected.

26:00 And he can't move because he's standing on one leg.

26:05 Meanwhile you can do any attack you want.

26:08 When he puts down his kicking leg, he would do something to you.

26:11 But while he is kicking, he won't attack you with his hands.

26:14 He can only use his hands when he puts his foot down.

26:16 So you should think he cannot do anything while he is kicking.

26:20 You can do a lot of counterattacks in the meantime.

26:23 With that perspective, you will feel more comfortable when defending yourself.

26:32 When I see an opponent kicking me, I feel that this person is approaching me with his groin unprotected for me.

26:38 If you feel that way, what would you do?

26:41 Of course you kick.

26:43 At that point, your feelings are superior to the opponent's feelings.

26:47 This is how you think when you protect yourself.

26:50 He is not kicking, he is unbalanced on one leg and comes up to you with his groin, face and belly unprotected.

26:58 How would you deal with such a person?

27:02 See, you feel at ease, don't you?

27:06 Yes, I have completely changed.-That's right.

27:08 Anyone who is in danger will freeze up in fear.

27:14 But if we can think that the opponent who is attacking us is approaching us with his face and groin unprotected,

27:25 our minds and bodies will be relaxed.

27:28 For example, today, there can be many dangerous situations on trains.

27:33 When I am on the train, I sometimes imagine how I could protect myself if I were attacked by several people around me.

27:42 Then I may observe the strong and defenseless parts of each of them, as in the earlier exercise.

27:50 I make it a daily habit to have both perspectives, which gives me more room in my mind.

28:14 Not every day, of course, but I practice that on a daily basis.

28:18 Of course I also consider my advantages and weaknesses.

28:24 I also calculate what position I should be in if someone nearby attacks me.

28:32 I train myself daily to have that kind of mental attitude.

28:37 You are 63 years old and you are imagining a situation where you would be attacked by people around you on a train!

28:45 Mio, do you ever imagine what you would do if someone attacked you on a train?

28:54 Yes, I have imagined such a situation.

28:56 For example, what kind?

28:59 If someone touched me, how should I handle it?

29:06 Let's hit them in the face first.

29:09 In Shorinji Kempo practice, you always practice with a partner, so you always think about this kind of distance.

29:26 This thinking has become a part of me.

29:33 So even on a very crowded train, I think about the distance between people.

29:48 I feel uneasy when someone comes very close to me.

30:05 I am wary about people coming into a distance where I can strike their eyes.

30:17 What a wonderful disciple she is!

30:21 If you were both on the same train, you would both imagine all kinds of self-defense.

30:26 Of course, it is a training exercise.

30:29 It is very important what perspective you have.

30:32 Not whether you are strong or not.

30:35 Building relationships is also self-defense.

30:37 It is about applying the self-defense techniques of Shorinji Kempo in everyday life.

30:44 If the opponent grabs your sleeve and pulls it,

30:47 he will probably hit or grab you with his other hand.

30:52 If he grabs you,

30:56 block that hand

30:59 or hit him in the eye.

31:00 This is the basis of defending yourself.

31:03 If he pulls on your sleeve like this,

31:08 he may hit or grab you with this hand.

31:12 So you will go behind him and hit him in the eye.

31:15 He may kick you,

31:19 but if you put weight on him he cannot kick you with his back foot.

31:23 You have already learned these self-defense techniques, right?

31:26 If he grabs you, move your foot diagonally forward so that his attack cannot reach you.

31:33 Hit him in the eye.

31:35 Then do this.

31:37 This is the basic principle.

31:39 You have learned it, right? -Yes, I have.

31:41 Now let's try this first. After that, I will explain.

31:56 Let's do it to the last kick.

32:13 You did well.

32:15 But sometimes it can be difficult to protect.

32:20 You might get pulled in this way.

32:22 It is important to try to protect yourself, but you should also practice when you lose your position.

32:27 If he grabs you, strike like this.

32:31 Strike even if you lose your stance.

32:34 In other words, the same way you put your hands on the floor when you fall down,

32:39 you support yourself with the opponent's body.

32:42 Like this.

32:44 Of course you can still hit him in the eye while you are out of position.

32:51 Or you can hit him in the groin. ("urate-uchi to kinteki")

32:59 This kind of practice is also necessary.

33:03 You strike with the strength of your opponent's pull and your strength combined.

33:11 And do it this way.

33:20 Now I used one hand, but you can do both hands as well.

33:25 You strike while you are out of position.

33:29 Naturally, your opponent will be like this.

33:33 You practice preventing attacks and at the same time practicing when you are out of position.

33:38 Then, try it.

33:39 Everyone will try to defend against an attack, but you use the strength created by being out of position to strike?

33:46 If you lose your stance, it means you are going to fall to the ground.

33:50 So when you are pulled and about to fall,

33:53 you strike the opponent's body in the same way as your hand on the floor.

33:57 Hit him with your weight.

34:03 And the reaction of the hit stabilizes your body.

34:12 It is the same as standing up with your hands on the floor.

34:22 His body supports your full weight as you fall.

34:27 So you return to your original position.

34:30 When he stops moving, you attack.

34:32 Mio, let's practice this very difficult looking technique!

34:39 Use your weight to attack in various ways.

34:43 Strike at the same time he pulls your sleeve.

34:48 Good!

34:50 After that, you can do any attack you want.

34:52 Now you were very good.

35:02 Actually, you can't stop this attack by yourself.

35:05 Your body is out of balance and will not stop.

35:08 It is natural for this to happen.

35:10 I hope you learn to adjust well while falling down.

35:15 This attack seems to work all the way into the opponent's body.

35:18 Yes, it is the same as falling to the floor with your full weight.

35:22 Against larger men, women should strike with their elbows to avoid hurting their wrists.

35:41 It works.

35:42 Elbow attack?-Yes.

35:45 I am fine.

35:47 How do you move your feet when your opponent pulls on you?

35:52 I move like this.

35:54 Or like this.

35:58 You look like a drunk.-That's right.

36:00 If you try to support yourself like this, he will resist.

36:04 If that happens, you have to defend yourself properly.

36:07 When you can't defend yourself, like this.

36:10 And like this.

36:12 I just showed you a punch, but there are many others.

36:17 You can also do this.

36:22 This is also possible.

36:24 When he grabs you, you do this.

36:26 What is this?

36:28 You use your feet like this.

36:30 In Shorinji Kempo, there is a technique called "Fukko-daoshi".

36:34 It is an application of a technique originally performed with the hands to the feet.

36:45 This must be done quickly.

36:47 And it must be done with the feet and hands at the same time.

36:52 This is very difficult and you don't need to practice it now.

36:55 Practice hitting while falling.

37:02 Attacks to the eyes are like this.

37:07 It almost looks like drunken fist.

37:10 I think so too.

37:11 Any attack is effective on the eyes.

37:15 It strikes the eyes, not the body, so it can be done from any position.

37:19 Mio, if you master this, you might be able to appear in a Hollywood movie.

37:23 You should practice this.

37:34 Good, but you are still trying to hit him.

37:39 Not like this,

37:41 but your hand hits your opponent as a result of a loss of position.

37:52 Such practice is important.

37:58 That's fine! And then the next technique.

38:01 You are balanced by the reaction of your hand against the opponent's body.

38:07 You should use this reaction.

38:13 With this blow you take your balance.

38:18 You can't keep losing your balance.

38:20 Use his body like a floor to support your weight, and you will be steady.

38:48 Let's do it again with this hand.

39:00 Next time, defend as basic.

39:03 Like this.

39:14 I will show you how to practice.

39:29 Practice these various patterns.

39:33 Practice striking this way as well.

39:40 Practice all of these as well.

39:44 If you think you can do a wide variety of things instead of only one technique, you will have more room in your mind.

39:56 When someone grabs you by the sleeve,

39:59 there is a big difference between having five techniques and being able to do only one.

40:04 So practice as many techniques as you do today.

40:11 Now let's try a variety of techniques at the end.

40:40 Be wary of his right hand.

40:52 Next, defend and then hit his eyes.

41:19 I want to move as quickly as Inoue sensei.

41:23 If you are pulled by the sleeve,

41:24 there are various ways of pulling,

41:31 but if you are grabbed here,

41:34 you turn around like this.

41:40 If an opponent grabs you, move behind him.

41:46 The same goes if he grabs you with his left hand.

41:52 We practiced "Tenbin" earlier, so let's do it.

41:58 Raise your hand and do this.

42:03 Wrap your opponent's arm around your hand and do "tenbin".

42:07 Now try it.

42:08 What to do if you are grabbed by the sleeve from behind.

42:13 Now do "tenbin".

42:15 That's it!

42:18 You should immediately turn around to face your opponent before his next attack comes.

42:31 Next, if someone hugs you from behind with both hands.

42:38 Let's practice a basic example.

42:46 This is called "Yahazu-shuho".

42:49 Move both hands along your hip joint.

42:55 At the same time, move your legs like this.

42:58 Remove your opponent's arms in this way.

43:00 Next, do "Yahazu-nukimi".

43:04 Take the opponent's hand while hitting him in the groin.

43:08 Then throw him.

43:11 Women will have difficulty throwing a man with a large body,

43:14 so you throw him toward the side like this.

43:22 When he grabs you, move your hands like this.

43:28 You may find it difficult to escape from this.

43:32 But you can do this.

43:34 What are you doing?

43:35 There is a pressure point here.

43:37 Hit this pressure point and throw.

43:41 Getting out of this situation is not easy.

43:45 Women should just step on the back of the opponent's foot.

43:53 Another way is to kick his shin with your heel.

44:00 You should use these various methods to escape.

44:03 And you attack with this part of the hand.

44:06 Throw him the moment he is in pain.

44:13 This looks like a very complex technique.

44:16 Yes, it is!

44:17 Let's practice the basic form first.

44:20 I wanted to try this.

44:21 If someone hugs you like this, while you pull your hips back,

44:28 move your hands like this.

44:31 For women, do this.

44:34 You put the opponent in a state of "kyo".

44:40 This is "kyo and jitsu".

44:46 You shrink your body at this moment.

44:49 This is the important point.

44:56 This is "Yahazu-nukimi".

45:00 You stretch and contract your body like this.

45:08 Keep your left leg extended.

45:11 If you bend it, your body may be crushed from above.

45:15 Women should shift their body to the side.

45:19 The opponent falls here.

45:22 Let's do it.

45:25 Round your back and pull your left leg back.

45:31 Your hip strikes the opponent's body.

45:34 Then twist your body and lift him up.

45:38 This is "nukimi".

45:39 Bend down a little like this.

45:42 Throwing while bending over?-Yes!

45:44 Then drop him here while shifting your body sideways.

45:53 Like judo's "ippon-seoi".

45:55 Do it this way.

46:02 Let's do it again.

46:06 Retreat the left leg backward

46:09 and strike the opponent with your hip.

46:16 Move your hands upward.

46:18 This is important.

46:22 And round your body.

46:26 Shrink your body.

46:29 Throw while twisting your body.

46:31 Very good! And throw him!

46:35 The moment he grabs me, my body freezes.

46:38 Try shrinking your body at that moment.

46:42 Once you contract, then extend.

46:45 Then he will be like this.

46:47 At that moment you shrink.

46:51 He loses his balance.

46:54 That moment is important.

46:57 Now let's try it.

47:06 The moment he loses his balance, you throw him.

47:11 You are doing well.

47:23 This is "Yahazu-nukimi".

47:28 In my case, I lift him up, hitting him in the groin.

47:34 Then throw him.

47:42 You are good.

47:44 I can't believe how quickly you did it.

47:58 After that, you can make any attack you want.

48:01 Let's do it one last time.

48:10 Finally, practice this as well.

48:12 If someone grabs your collar and pulls you back.

48:17 There are ways to handle this on both sides,

48:21 but let's do this case today.

48:23 If someone grabs you by the collar, do this.

48:29 This is the shape of the hanger on which the clothes are hung.

48:34 If you tilt the hanger, the clothes will fall off.

48:38 It is the same movement.

48:40 Move your hand like this.

48:53 He grabs you from behind and hooks your leg.

49:17 We practiced the case of someone grabbing your collar, sleeves, wrists or other parts of your body from behind.

49:24 Not only from behind, but also from the side.

49:27 Let's do the case of being grabbed from both sides.

49:31 In this case, you have to deal with it.

49:35 There is a technique called "Ninin-nuki".

49:40 You must have less strength than he does.

49:45 So here's what I'm going to do.

49:48 Instead of pulling against both of you,

49:52 approach the one with the stronger strength.

49:55 You create a 2 vs. 1 situation.

49:57 And deal with it this way.

50:01 Do not resist both sides in this way.

50:05 You make it a 2 vs. 1 situation.

50:08 You can defend yourself here.

50:10 He will have no distance to attack.

50:13 But even if you can escape him, you risk being pulled to the other side.

50:20 So, while defending here,

50:27 kick the other one.

50:28 Then you escape and fight back.

50:34 You should try it.

50:35 Escape from both sides.

50:38 You are being pulled from both sides.

50:45 Come closer to me.

50:49 Do "sankaku-shuho".

50:51 Move your leg and kick toward him.

50:58 And take your hand away from him.

51:00 Then fight back at me.

51:04 This is "Ninin-nuki".

51:06 You have a "2vs1" situation and then deal with it.

51:12 Adjust the distance between each person.

51:14 Kick, escape, and fight back.

51:24 Look, a man is talking to a woman.

51:28 The woman looks troubled...

51:31 Oh, he suddenly grabbed her hand!

51:36 Are you okay?

51:38 That man did something to you, didn't he?

51:42 He grabbed my hand all of a sudden.

51:44 What a terrible man.

51:45 Yes, I was scared.

51:52 Yuto Kawashima sensei!

51:56 Today's topic is self-defense while sitting in a chair, right?

52:01 Yes, what you can do while standing up you can also do while sitting down.

52:07 For example, when you're sitting on a train, the person next to you might grab your hand.

52:18 Today, let's try to deal with that.

52:24 It's a technique called "ryaku-jyuji-gote".

52:26 When you are grabbed from the side like this,

52:32 place your elbow on the opponent's elbow.

52:35 Grip the arm from above and put your weight on the elbow.

52:42 This will lock the opponent's wrist.

52:48 Then, strike.

52:49 Mio, is this a technique you have already mastered?

52:53 Yes.

52:54 I see, so you can use this well.

52:59 There is also the case where someone will pull your hand from the front while you are sitting.

53:09 In this case, if your opponent grabs your wrist and pulls you up,

53:12 you can use the method for dealing with when your posture is disrupted.

53:21 The blow hit me hard.

53:25 Mio, that was really good, so try again.

53:39 This looks very practical.

53:41 You move naturally.

53:46 Yes, it's fun.

53:51 She has a black belt in Shorinji Kempo.

53:53 Nowadays, there are security cameras everywhere,

53:56 so you need to be careful not to look like excessive self‐defense

53:59 when dealing with a dangerous situation.

54:02 It's better to move in close so that it's hard for people around you to see.

54:10 Make it look like “the woman leaned against the man, and he crouched down on the floor”.

54:15 That kind of expression is also part of self-defense.

54:18 Next, hit back with your elbow.

54:26 Then, let go of the hand.

54:27 That looks like a punch.

54:29 Hit with your elbow, then let go of the hand and run away.

54:39 You lean on your opponent, and he falls over and hurts himself.

54:42 Did her attack hurt?

54:44 If it had been a little deeper, it would have definitely worked.

54:48 It looked like a very natural movement.

54:50 It's important to make it look like you're the victim.

54:55 Mio, you're an actor, please act like you're worried about your opponent.

55:05 That way, no one will think you attacked him.

55:16 I'm sorry. Are you okay?

55:20 You don't have to worry about this villain.

55:23 How was it?

55:23 Even if you are a woman,

55:25 if you use the momentum of your opponent to throw your full weight at him, he will surely stumble.

55:34 I think it actually works.

55:39 There are other methods that are harder to see from the outside.

55:43 When your opponent comes close,

55:47 stomp on his foot or kick his shin.

55:53 You kick him in the shin.

56:02 You use kicking, right?

56:04 Kick and then you do the same as before.

56:12 You use your shoulders to attack him.

56:18 You kick your opponent in the shin so that he can't chase you.

56:23 You aim for both his shin and chest.

56:27 Then you run away.

56:31 Sorry for kicking you so hard!

56:32 It's okay.

56:38 Take your hands off me and run away.

56:42 Do you think this is practical?

56:44 Yes, it seems very useful.

56:45 I have a black belt, so I was wondering how much strength I should use to defend myself.

56:53 It has to look like a legitimate defense.

56:56 This was a very helpful lesson.

56:59 Shorinji Kempo is a martial art for self-defense.

57:02 Therefore, you should only use it when your opponent attacks you first.

57:08 If you use punches or kicks, it may look like you are over-reacting.

57:19 To avoid this misunderstanding, try to get the people around you on your side.

57:26 If your opponent tries to touch you, deflect their hand back like this.

57:37 This makes it easy to see that you are not attacking.

57:41 I've heard of cases where this method was used to deal with an opponent until the police arrived.

57:47 It is said that the person was able to control the opponent without fighting.

58:05 The kick actually hits the groin!

58:09 And it also attacks the face!

58:11 In Shorinji Kempo, you practice by actually hitting each other so that you can use it in a real emergency.

58:21 Strike the eye when the opponent gets close.

58:32 Parry the hand and strike the eye.

58:35 You can also kick the knee.

58:43 He pushes in with a punch.

58:44 If you block here, you'll get hit.

58:48 So parry his wrist.

58:52 His punch comes straight.

58:54 So hold down his wrist from above.

58:57 Don't hit it from the front.

59:00 It's coming straight, so you should deflect it from the side.

59:04 Lightly block.

59:06 Then shift your body to the side.

59:09 While moving forward.

59:18 You parried his punch and attacked his eyes now.

59:21 If someone grabs your hand, do this.

59:24 If you practice not hitting, you won't be able to use it in a practical situation.

59:29 Practice actually striking when your hand is pulled.

59:36 Open each finger separately.

59:39 If you strike with your toes, you will hurt the eyes.

59:44 Strike with the back of your hand.

59:46 It's enough if any of the four fingers hit.

1:00:03 Use the momentum of his pulling to get close.

1:00:16 Let me show you how to practice eye attacks.

1:00:23 Strike five times and then remove your hand.

1:00:30 Then, after removing your hand, strike with the back of your fist.

1:00:37 Let's practice striking from close range.

1:00:55 Is there a difference in feeling between practicing not hitting him and actually hitting him?

1:01:02 The distance also changes, so it's completely different.

1:01:06 Certainly, the distance will change depending on whether you actually hit or not hit.

1:01:10 The difference is particularly noticeable when kicking the groin.

1:01:13 If you try not to hit him, your foot won't reach him at all.

1:01:16 In order to actually hit it, you have to insert your foot all the way behind his butt.

1:01:21 He's wearing protective gear, so let's try kicking him.

1:01:24 Using the momentum of his pull, you actually strike and kick him.

1:01:37 You mean kick with my left? -Yes.

1:01:55 Make sure your ankle goes into his groin, not the surface of his armor.

1:02:01 It's as if you pull your leg from behind him.

1:02:05 Bring your body close to his and pull your back leg.

1:02:13 Shift your body like this.

1:02:26 This protective gear is fine even if he kicks it.

1:02:30 So you can kick it as hard as you like.

1:02:32 I understand why you're hesitating.

1:02:47 Right now, you are practicing both eye attacks and kicks to the groin.

1:02:50 It is enough if either attack hits.

1:02:53 He may block an attack to the groin by closing his legs.

1:02:56 If he lowers his head at that time, you can strike.

1:02:59 Attack both simultaneously.

1:03:06 Let's practice the timing slowly.

1:03:25 Inoue sensei, please.

1:03:27 What is "mawashi-geri"?

1:03:29 It leaves your groin unprotected.

1:03:32 Exactly. So, you can do this.

1:03:35 Block and kick while moving forward.

1:03:44 Kick while walking.

1:04:02 Watch the tip of his knee.

1:04:04 He can't kick beyond this line.

1:04:08 So you just need to move up to this point.

1:04:14 If you stay here, you'll get kicked.

1:04:16 But if you move over here, you won't get kicked.

1:04:19 And then you kick back.

1:04:39 You should not block his "mawashi-geri" straight on.

1:04:48 You should parry it from above downwards, and kick.

1:04:52 Do this move.

1:04:56 Kick him back in the groin.

1:05:08 Take this stance.

1:05:17 Do it again.

1:05:18 Even if you kick hard, he will be fine.

1:05:33 That was good!

1:05:34 Next, if he kicks straight at you.

1:05:41 Rotate your body.

1:05:43 Kick back while moving out of the path of the kick.

1:05:51 You don't have to strike his leg.

1:05:54 While parrying his kick, kick back.

1:06:04 Avoid the kick's trajectory...

1:06:05 Kick right away!

1:06:06 Good!

1:06:08 Let's do two more.

1:06:13 Strike a series of punches.

1:06:23 It didn't hit, so try again.

1:06:41 Next, if you are grabbed.

1:06:46 You can strike with all your might.

1:06:50 Just like we practiced earlier.

1:06:56 Good!

1:06:57 Keep going.

1:06:59 Attack without hesitation.

1:07:08 Strike the eyes while falling over.

1:07:10 While falling?

1:07:11 Yes. Strike his eye with your left hand.

1:07:16 That was great!

1:07:17 Keep going.

1:07:19 Let's do it again.

1:07:25 Let's use what we've been practicing.

1:07:43 Next, when you are defending first.

1:07:50 He's going to grab you.

1:07:52 Defend yourself.

1:07:53 Eyes.

1:07:54 Groin.

1:07:55 Do everything correctly.

1:07:59 At the same time.

1:08:01 Give it a try.

1:08:04 If you can do it with one hand, that's good,

1:08:05 but for now, it's okay.

1:08:13 You're really good!

1:08:14 Let's do it two more times to finish.

1:08:27 Let's change the position a little.

1:08:50 "Message to viewers from Inouse sensei"

1:08:52 In the philosophy of Shorinji Kempo, there is a phrase "do not kill, energize" (Fusatsu-katsujin).

1:08:56 Prior to that, it was the phrase "do not kill, do not harm" (Fusatsu-fugai).

1:08:59 Don't kill your opponent and don't hurt him.

1:09:04 You should never kill the other person, and you should never hurt him or her to the point of permanent injury.

1:09:12 In today's world, various dangerous situations can be assumed,

1:09:17 but there may also be situations where you are really in danger.

1:09:22 However, in the spirit of Shorinji Kempo, it is important to control the situation without hurting the opponent and, of course, without killing him.

1:09:32 Even if you use a blow, the purpose is only to make your opponent lose their will to fight.

1:09:38 In other words, the goal is not to beat the opponent, but to always think about the opponent.

1:09:44 Make the other person feel like "I won't attack you anymore."

1:09:52 Then, if possible, admonish the other person, "Don't do that, don't hurt others."

1:09:59 This is our mindset and our spirit.

1:10:03 When an opponent attacks, instead of immediately counterattacking and defeating them, always think about the other person.

1:10:13 After subduing the opponent, you aim to admonish them not to do this again.

1:10:19 That is the spirit of Shorinji Kempo.

1:10:22 For example, when you are a child, you sometimes get along with someone you don't know after having a fight with them, don't you?

1:10:31 I believe this is the true way of human life.

1:10:35 We fight, but we exert ourselves as hard as we can, and afterwards we feel very refreshed and become friends.

1:10:41 The way of life I learned in Shorinji Kempo is that even if the other person does something wrong,

1:10:49 you subdue him or her and firmly rehabilitate him or her.

1:10:52 This is the way of life in Shorinji Kempo.

1:10:54 And what I have been teaching my students is how to look at the opponent.

1:11:01 If an opponent kicks you, don't just look at his leg,

1:11:05 his groin is unprotected, the same with his face,

1:11:09 and he is standing on one leg and not well balanced.

1:11:11 Perhaps this is a situation in my favor?

1:11:15 You should judge the situation as such.

1:11:17 The opponent grabs your arms with both hands.

1:11:20 Yes, your hands are grabbed, but you can also say, “He has both hands cuffed and immobile".

1:11:34 You are not afraid of such a person, are you?

1:11:36 His face, stomach, and groin are unprotected.

1:11:39 He cannot use his hands because he has you in his grasp.

1:11:41 In Shorinji Kempo, we emphasize this two-sided perspective.

1:11:47 Even if the situation looks bad for you, look for the good side for yourself.

1:11:56 It is a two-sided perspective.

1:11:58 Seeing both sides in this way is an important part of the philosophy of Shorinji Kempo.

1:12:01 "Riki-ai-funi", "Ken-zen-ichi-nyo", "Jita-kyo-raku".

1:12:04 The idea that opposites are always in a balanced set is also applied in the techniques of Shorinji Kempo.

1:12:13 And when you actually find yourself in a situation where self-defense is necessary,

1:12:18 I hope you will keep this perspective in mind as you seek to properly subdue and rehabilitate your opponent.

1:12:25 That is the way of life that Shorinji Kempo teaches.

1:12:28 I hope that many people will experience Shorinji Kempo and practice it enthusiastically.

1:12:34 Thank you for listening.

1:12:39 Everyone is a Hero in "Kuro-obi World".

1:12:46 Of course you are also a Hero!

1:12:49 See you again in "Kuro-obi World"!
