ShorinjiKempo, Amazing Low kick control! 【English and Spanish subtitles 】

0:07 This is the way to execute this technique.

0:12 Amazing!

0:14 His leg disappears!

0:20 The target has gone somewhere.

0:27 I feel strange.

0:36 What?

0:40 This is ‘Shorinji Kempo’

0:42 This is Hiromu Inoue sensei.

0:47 This is the technique in "GREAT LEGACY OF SHORINJI KEMPO"

0:56 The technique is normally done by hands but he arranged it for a leg technique.

1:05 It should be very hard to do that even with hands ,

1:08 but he does the same with his leg.

1:15 Naka Sensei looks very surprised too.

1:18 But you can't believe it easily, can you?

1:22 We visited him and checked up, if the technique really works or not.

1:27 This is a verification of "GREAT LEGACY OF Shorinji Kempo".

1:32 Inoue sensei welcomes us with a smile.

1:35 Our members are Sensei Akihito Yagi from Okinawa Gojyu-ryu ,

1:38 Karate-ka Tony Nakmura from Chicago,

1:40 and Taka who has 40 year Budo experience.

1:44 Inoue Sensei, could you show us the low kick technique ?

1:57 Kick harder.

2:07 One more time.

2:08 What you do is taking the kick away.

2:11 Then you will have a space in front and just kick the groin.

2:17 This is another way.

2:21 You get the back side.

2:25 This is the one to disable the opponent.

2:29 Kick slowly.

2:31 This does not work

2:33 so this is the way.

2:34 You can lock the leg.

2:36 The kick may come from the other side.

2:41 He is kicking my rear leg.

2:43 Kick the rear.

2:47 You can catch the kick coming to the rear.

2:51 but you can also use your front leg

2:53 to take him down like this.

2:58 If the target is your front leg,

3:02 you use the front leg.

3:07 Then next you swap the leg position.

3:11 It is not so safe to do this practice.

3:13 I would add an ‘Urauchi’ in this case.

3:17 It is like a ‘Noren’(Japanese shop curtain).

3:20 When the opponent is kicking your leg,

3:24 you will get defeated like this

3:26 So what you do is absorb and take his leg down

3:30 Put your weight on the leg like this.

3:34 One card is not enough.

3:36 You must be able to punch also as another card.

3:41 You have to have this kind of technique too.

3:45 And you may have to cut the kick

3:47 depending on the situation.

3:49 You should have as many cards as possible.

3:52 What you do is just use one of them.

3:54 It is easy to lift the knee up straight

4:01 but you will get kicked properly.

4:03 So This is "Noren"

4:06 You release the tension

4:07 and take the leg down.

4:09 Why don’t you try, Taka ?

4:11 Because you have an experience of full contact Karate.

4:14 What do you think of this technique?

4:16 This is....

4:19 What would happen to my knee?

4:23 It would get broken

4:24 so we do not do this often.

4:26 So it is kind of banned, is it?

4:27 Yes!

4:27 You have this technique as one of the cards

4:29 but this is the one you should not use...

4:30 That's right.

4:32 Kicking is coming this way.

4:34 What I do is catch it.

4:39 Amazing!

4:41 His leg disappears!

4:43 Disappears!

4:47 His leg disappears!

4:48 Really?

4:49 So this is...

4:51 So it’s like a ‘Noren’, is it?

4:53 The lower part is just like a curtain.....

4:55 What I expect is that something solid is there

4:57 but actually it is different.

5:00 This is it!

5:02 It is same as what Tony just said.

5:06 The feeling I have is his leg disappears.

5:10 What about the others? Yagi sensei?

5:25 The target has gone somewhere.

5:28 What I did was absorb everything coming.

5:43 I feel strange.

5:49 You can attack the groin like this.

5:57 Nishi, the director of "kuro-obi world"

6:05 What?

6:07 What?

6:08 Could you do it again please?

6:17 I see.

6:21 My brain presumes my kick will be blocked the other way but....

6:25 Yes. I felt the same.

6:31 You can also continue this kind of technique.

6:42 As you absorb the kicking,

6:44 you can catch the arm and lock the person.

6:46 This is the sequence.

6:47 One more time.

6:55 The leg is not only part you focus on.

6:58 What about the right side?

7:00 I would do this in this case.

7:02 You can do both sides.

7:05 It is scary.

7:08 I did this just now

7:11 It is scary.

7:11 That's right.

7:12 but you can also stop the person this way.

7:15 I’m scared!

7:19 We don't want to hurt the partner

7:21 we just change the direction of the kick.

7:23 It was terrifying.

7:25 Why don’t you try,Taka?

7:28 I am confident with my right side kick.

7:35 Wow! Is this the one?

7:40 No! No! I feel strange!

7:45 Strange!

7:47 It controls your brain, doesn’t it?

7:48 Yes! The brain gets tricked, doesn’t it?

7:50 Maybe Yes.

7:52 The target disappears.

7:53 Yes. It vanishes.

7:58 The moment my mind gets panicked,

8:03 that is the end.

8:05 When your leg reaches the target, you feel it has gone.

8:08 You have to absorb everything coming.

8:12 I used to practice like full-contact Karate.

8:14 It was like this kind of practice.

8:19 But it doesn't work with someone bigger than you.

8:22 So you trained that way first

8:24 then worked out the catching technique?

8:26 Yes.

8:26 I worked out with some seniors.

8:29 Did you think that the hand technique can be used for the leg?

8:32 Yes.

8:33 Even though you thought so, it was not easy, was it?

8:35 No..... not much....

8:37 That is amazing!

8:38 The ones who focus on theories

8:40 and the ones who focus on realities,

8:43 we teamed up.

8:44 We all worked out for the technique.

8:50 It is revealed that this fantastic technique is the achievement of a long time hard working.

9:02 In addition to that, it is just one of the many CARDS.

9:07 It is impressing.

9:14 Naka Sensei has been exploring Karate for long time.

9:19 So, he can understand how profound Inoue Sensei’s techniques are.

9:30 Next verification will be the specific technique

9:33 ‘Attacking the groin’.

9:36 A surprising technique of Shorinji Kempo will be revealed.

9:42 "GREAT LEGACY OF SHORINJI KEMPO" will be released by internet sales and streaming on this June or July.
