How Do You Do This ... Er, Internal Jump?
First, check out this video of Ueshiba:
http://www.dailymotion.com/related/2...kemusui_school Around 6:51 to 6:54, watch him "jump". Now, I saw Dan do something like this. Only he didn't bend down like Ueshiba. Dan stood straight and rigid with knees locked and just popped upwards. Weird. :) |

You sure that's an "internal" jump? Certainly they were doing warm-ups, and using a closed-opened motion (which relates to internal processes). However, it seemed that he was just a bit over-exuberant on the first, and jumped, and then after limited his motion to his frame.

Re: How Do You Do This ... Er, Internal Jump?
I'm pretty sure that "snap" Ueshiba has in the video indicates something internal. But he also clearly bent down and "jumped" up...
Not knowing how to "snap" like that, let alone "jump" without bending the legs, I don't know if it's the same thing or not. |
Re: How Do You Do This ... Er, Internal Jump?
I think it's an example of the open-closed frame. And to be frank, I think Ueshiba just overshot his frame a bit, and then began performing the drill as he intended.
Just a guess... |

Hey Mark,
No Ueshiba here... But remember that heaven and earth throw we worked at Mike's seminar? Basically, I tried to take the slack out of my body by extending in all directions. Was there a bit of a "pop" to it when it worked? I also tried to have a bit of the heel bounce that Mike showed us. Best, Ron |

The heaven/earth throw we worked on was different than this. No heel bounce, no bending of the legs, and a rigid body. It's weird. :) |

Actually, thanks to Justin Smith for archiving that little nugget for us on aikiweb. Couldn't have found it without his help. :D

This video of Dan John describing the proper way to do some Olympic lifts may provide some clues. Be warned, it's 50 minutes long. Towards the end, Dan is showing someone proper squat techniqe and he walks the person through two ways to do a long jump-- one with the legs bending, and the other with locked legs powered by the torso. The person jumps much further with the second version.
I don't think the motion Dan describes is as subtle as the internal jump, but I think it does provide some pointers as to where the engine is and how to become acquainted with it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...81301858251744 |

Oh that kind of fencing. I assumed it was dealing with buying and recieivng stolen property. What a relief! I like electric fences personally, especially when they are powered by Ki.

Jun,
I started this thread, but if statisticool (Justin) is going to keep commenting on it, could you please close it? I'd rather not have the thread degenerate further. Thanks, Mark |
