In Lesson 10, we already practiced the technique for handling poking attack using the Force Equilibrium method. Now this time I will introduce a technique for handling poking attack by Chudan Jun Tsuki.

As I already mentioned, AIKI techniques based on the Force Equilibrium method can collapse the opponent as soon as you “block” his poking attack. So Block = Attack, which is exactly an ideal Uke.

AIKI Uke for Chudan Jun Tsuki

A and B stand by face to face.

A…Defender
B…Attacker

a・Stepping forward with right foot, B attacks A by right Chudan Jun Tsuki.
b_1・A “blocks”it with his left lower arm in the form of Karate’s Chudan Soto Uke with applying AIKI Uke, i.e. instantaneously create Force Equilibrium state.
c_2・ At the instance A makes Aiki Uke with his left arm, he moves his body center slightly left side. Then B collapses his right side.

Chudan Soto Uke is said to be basic in Karate, but I don’t have the impression that it is used in actual situation including Kumite competition.

However, using this Force Equilibrium method, this Uke becomes actually quite useful as not only Uke but an attack.

It is important how to create the Force Equilibrium state.

1 Master the movement in slow motion practices.

First, let’s master the movement in slow motion practice.

a・Let the opponent attack you by right Chudan Jun Tsuki in slow motion.
b・You step in inside close to the opponent’s body.
c・Turning left hand’s palm downward and put it on the opponent’s right forearm.
d・Create Force Equilibrium state at the contact point so that touch the opponent’s arm so delicately touching or not touching.
e・After creating Force Equilibrium state, move body center slightly left side, the opponent will collapses to his right side.

2 Practice it in a normal speed

Next, let’s practice it in a normal speed.

a・Matching to the timing of the opponent’s right middle height poking,
b・Turn your left hand’s palm downward and put it on the opponent’s right forearm from above.
c・Then slightly move your body center left side.

The faster becomes the opponent’s attack speed, the greater becomes the tolerance of the force that creates the force equilibrium.

so even if you hit or put your hand/arm moderately strong to the opponent’s arm, you can create the Force Equilibrium state.

Summary of Lesson 21

The timing to create Force Equilibrium to make this AIKI Uke for Chudan Tsuki is slightly later than the Uke for Jodan Tsuki in Lesson 10.

For Jodan Tsuki, the timing is the moment when your arm touches the opponent’s arm.

On the other hand, for the Chudan Tsuki, the timing is when you wrap around the opponent’s arm with your arm and put your arm and hand on it.
