Finish everything while your opponent is kicking / The mindset of Shorinji Kempo

0:03 How to deal with kicking attacks in Shorinji Kempo.

0:06 Inoue sensei will demonstrate this today.

0:10 By studying the “houkei” technique of Shorinji Kempo in kumite-based training,

0:17 we can apply and modify it.

0:20 This is another enjoyable aspect of practicing Shorinji Kempo

0:25 Let’s study it together!

0:30 Let's show you some ways to deal with kicking attacks.

0:35 It would take too long to show you everything.

0:38 After showing you a few, I will show you how to grab the opponent's hands

0:42 after dealing with the kick.

0:47 Please kick me.

0:55 Hit the "kinteki".

0:56 Be careful, because it will be kicked by this foot.

1:03 Next, from the inside.

1:08 Hit this pressure point.

1:13 Practice should be done safely.

1:17 Normally, you would knock him down hard.

1:22 Don't do that.

1:24 Press this pressure point instead.

1:32 Next, “mawashi-geri.”

1:41 Hold his hip joint firmly.

1:48 This is dangerous.

1:50 When I actually do it...

1:51 first I block,

1:56 then I strike hard.

2:04 Next, if mawashigeri comes from the opposite side.

2:10 This neutralizes the kick.

2:22 Next, use "tembin".

2:31 Press the "san-inko" pressure point.

2:33 This is dangerous.

2:38 And one more thing.

2:38 I explained this before.

2:41 Kick me.

2:53 Apply “sode-maki-gaeshi.”

3:03 It's a technique to hold down your opponent, but I threw him.

3:12 Parry the kick.

3:15 Catch his foot at the moment he pulls it back.

3:19 Look carefully.

3:26 You can deal with any kick.

3:29 For side kicks,

3:34 use "hasami-uke".

3:45 Train to be able to catch any kick.

3:49 Kicks are said to be stronger than hands, but while kicking,

3:52 he is standing on one foot and cannot move.

3:55 Looking at it from his perspective, his kicks are strong and fast.

4:02 However, you can also look at it from the opposite perspective.

4:07 For example, "mawashi-geri"...

4:09 From your perspective, he is unable to move.

4:12 While he is kicking, he cannot punch.

4:15 His groin is unprotected while he is kicking.

4:17 That is also a possible perspective.

4:19 Therefore, look for the opponent's weaknesses and deal with them.

4:23 This training will give you peace of mind.

4:27 Don't just look at the aspects that are advantageous to the opponent.

4:31 Don't focus on how strong, fast, or big he is.

4:36 Try to see his weaknesses.

4:38 That will help you improve your skills.

4:40 It is important to correctly assess the situation you are in.

4:45 I block with my front hand,

4:49 but he may attack with his other hand,

4:51 so I must be able to block with my other hand as well.

4:56 This technique knocks the opponent's back of the head onto the floor.

4:59 It is very dangerous, so I don't usually teach it.

5:12 If you can't defeat him with this, sweep his leg.

5:16 Next, when blocking with your back hand.

5:24 He doesn't punch while he's kicking.

5:27 So catch him while he's kicking.

5:33 Deal with everything while he's kicking.

5:36 This is how to block with your front hand.

5:39 If he lowers his back hand, you don't need to worry about it.

5:46 Always think about the next step and the step after that.

6:00 It is important to handle everything while he is kicking.

6:06 He has his left hand raised, so grab that hand.

6:29 There are also techniques like this in Shorinji Kempo.

6:40 Take your opponent's back.

6:43 Position yourself here so you won't get hit.

6:54 This is one way to practice.

6:56 What I just showed you is catching the kicking foot.

7:02 Or catching the hand before the kicking foot touches the floor.

7:32 At this moment, you grab his hand.

7:57 There is something important to remember when defending yourself.

8:00 He is trying to hit you with his this hand.

8:03 While calming him down, how can you disable his hand?

8:08 Hold his hand at the moment he is about to punch you.

8:15 Then hook his hand.

8:20 You need to practice this.

8:22 Calm your opponent down and do this.

8:25 I am good at maki-tembin and kote-nage, so I will use those techniques.

8:32 You must practice grabbing the opposite hand of your opponent.

9:04 If he grabs your sleeve.

9:08 I always hit his pressure points.

9:13 When grabbed around the chest, press the pressure points to knock him down.

9:28 This is a “hogi” technique of Shorinji Kempo.

9:35 "Kan-nuki".

9:37 Pressing the ulnar nerve.

9:45 You can handle other parts in the same way.

9:53 If you are strangled, do this.

10:03 There are many other applications.

10:10 That's all.

10:11 Next, let's put a protector on him.
