Hi and thank you for givin g food for thougtht!

1. as previously described by attacking the legs. There is nothing nage can do about it, because he is not locking uke by any physical leverage.

One hand on ukes neck, shoulder, head. Other arm on ukes shoulder, upper arm, elbow: You can uke manage the way you want.
Uke never is far from nages center.
Quote:
2. other nice counter for uke is simply to continue the spiral that nage started, turning in nage direction and then go completely out far from nage.
|
Hm, I think I know what you mean. But the move, nage starts ist not a spiral. It's an attempt to slam ukes face to the ground.
Quote:
I did it many times when I practiced with folks from that style and every time it was very big surprise and they were not able to find a way to avoid this opening. You don't need to be very advanced karateka, practice judo or jj to do so simple spin out. Everybody will do it very successfully. LOL
|
Yes indeed! You are rigtht!
That's one thing to be learned! As I said: It's important to lead the shoulder or upper arm of uke so he can't spin out or do something like that. If you know how to do that it's easy.
More interesting to me: You think there is a sholarship of Tissier Shihan and Endo Shihan in the USA? (> "that stile")
Quote:
3. this cutting motion doesn't work with tall and heavy uke -- nage is using here only power from shoulders and not from center.
|
It's difficult with tall and heavy uke. But it works if you know how to do it. May I ask you: Where did nage touch you? Shoulder, neck, temple?
Quote:
From what I understand , in this way of doing iriminage nage expect uke to simply get up once when he is on the tatami,
|
No, it's an attempt t to slam ukes face to the ground. Irimi nage - out of this situation - happens, if that doesn't work and uke ist getting up again.
uke in our training tries to get nage's legs or tries to spin out of the motion or tries to counter nage. That ist normal in our training.
In our practice cooparation isn't considered to be good ukemi.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
It's not necessary for the head to go to the shoulder. If you do the tenkan really well, uke will be completely off balance. I should know, for that is what happened to me at the Aikikai Honbu dojo by the Sensei for that class. It was done so well on me that I didn't feel a thing yet I was flat on my back with the ceiling spinning in my head. The video recorder in my head has serious gaps in it about how the technique was done but I'm positive that my head never touched his shoulder.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
Thank you for that video. Saito Sensei is an amazing treasure
whom we could all stand to learn from; even after his passing. His basics are incredible and inspiring.
I would like to add this video of Ikeda Sensei as another consideration in the concept/application/practice of Irimi Nage.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=80vrifS9yiI
Both of these teachers approaches are certainly worthy of study.
Best,
Jen

Actually, Video #5 in that same Saito series starts with a few minutes of the same iriminage, but with more detail, some history, and an amusing anecdote
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fOdOU9...eature=related
Video 6 of 6 starts right in with irimi---pun semi-intentional

You are right, video #5 is more relevant to the discussion.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
Jennifer, Carsten, if you don't lock my head into your shoulder for irimi nage, I will just spin out of it, or roll out of it. That is, if I don't want to counter. I've always had. And I'm not that good at Aikido.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
As for teachers influenced by Yamaguchi sensei or his students.
That would be Gleason, Suzuki etc.

Thank you for announcing!
That gives me the chance to do an exception if we meet you on the mat.
Anyway: Spinning out of a technique, simply going away, not following if not necessary are simple but good methods to help nage to improve his technique.

Aikido ukemi is by definition cooperative.

And with that very intention it is done. No other. No ego here; nothing to prove.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
I'll escape it even if you drill my head into your shoulder and secure it with iron rivets. You can do kokyunage without turning it into "choke-you-nage"... too much of a grip will just piss uke off and make him escape anyway.
A firm but cautious handling is what I find to be most effective against the widest range of ukes.
Saying is a "20 year technique" is like when the buddhists say "the manifestation of 10,000 things". It is not so much the number, but the implication of a very (perhaps infinitely) long time, just as "10,000 things" means everything.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
This technique is one of the techniques that I think is, from one view point, utterly useless.
If you have a sword and the guy is holding on for dear life...yes it has its points. Other than that it has perplexed me as a waste of time. (Sounds harder than I mean it...I know it can be useful for other things such as harmony and philosophical purposes I suppose.)
Sorry, not much to add to the thread, but this is one move that sticks out, as it were, in all the moves that I do as being kind of pointless. (again, for the most part, as I know it is as you make it.)
Peace
dAlen

That's interesting. This Iriminage---or, Kokyunage, depending on your lineage---is one of my most effective standbys outside the dojo (used against non-savvy rough-housing friends). Practicing disappearing into that safe position behind an adversary and having them in a position to choke, control, or throw is quite useful

Must have a different technique the name is applied to - we do something totally different. Sorry for the confusion!
You definitely dont have opportunity to choke with this move...though maybe if I analyze it more there may be an opening - hmmms, something to think about.

But for us irminage and kokyunage are, I would say, like night and day. As I mentioned, my bad, so to speak, as it appears we are not talking about the same thing. Guess it happens sometimes.
Peace
dAlen
p.s.
If i ever get a video camera, Ill put the move on youtube.
Again, its more for someone with a sword in their hand and the attacker is trying to hold on for dear life in order not to be knifed...and how to 'shake' them off.
As I mentioned, I may not be seeing the other full potentials for this move yet...which may well be true.
Peace

I'd say ukemi by definition is non-resistive, but I wouldn't say it is co-opertative unless you're using it to teach, in which case you're not recieving technique anyway.

Re: Kokyu Nage (Twenty Year Technique)
I think...
don't forget to 'unbalance' the uke first, and good timing o apply the kokyu nage, so uke has no time to find his balance again... and always keep our shoulders to be ralxed and breath normally....
Peace and Love,
