Mr. Sawayama Muneomi developed SATAKEISOKU - schemes of movement:

      

- HEIDOUKEISOKU- parallel scheme

  1. HEIDOCHOKU - linearly parallel movement
  2. HEIDOUEN- circular parallel movement

TAIDOUKEISOKU- scheme for expansive movement

  1. TAIDOUCHYOKU-parallel expansive movement
  2. TAIDOUEN- circular expansive movement

KODOUKEISOKU- scheme for synchronal intersection

  1. KODOUCHYOKU- linearly synchronal intersection movement
  2. KODOUEN- circular synchronal intersection movement

GODOUKEISOKU- scheme for alternately mutual movement

  1. GODOUCHYOKU- linearly alternately mutual movement
  2. GODOUEN- circular alternately mutual movement

The schemes are developed to elaborate the following fighting skills:

- vestibular system

- coordination of all extremities

- fincing technique

- mobility and agility

- usage of a variety of techniques

- amplitude of movement

- ability to move spontaneously and unpredictable

- ability to act confidently

- virtuosity in defense

This schemes were implemented by Sensei Sawayama Muneomi at the very beginning of Nippon Kempo exactly for that purpose. While alive, Sawayama Muneomi worked on this schemes to enhance them to technical and methodical katas as an aid for martial art students, but was unfortunately not able to fulfill his work. By the dint of ancient scripts as well as due to the advice of the living primary source Sensei Ishiguro Kunio the research was started again at "Kokusai Dojo" in 2013. In 2016 four katas were accomplished:

  1. HEIDOU NO KATA - technique of parallel circular and linear movement.
  2. TAIDOU NO KATA - technique of expansive circular and linear movement.
  3. KODOU NO KATA - technique of circular and linear synchronal intersection.
  4. GODOU NO KATA - technique of circular and linear alternately mutual movement.


   

Purpose and meaning of KATA.

Some people think that katas are pointless, because them are useless in a competition, and even practiced permanently, them are not suitable to gain power. This point of view is own to following kind of people:

  1. who has not yet realized, that kata is purposed to enhance SEJSIN – the power of will of the fighter,
  2. who has not yet gained a mastery level of a kind, that allows to use the basic techniques as ZUKI – arm blows, UCHI – thrusts, KERI – leg blows as well as NAGE – throws, GAKU – joint locks in the sence of KAZUEJ – naturally usage in practice.

Kata:

  1. Inculcates SAHOU – order of courtesy and calmness.
  2. Trains to divine the thoughts of AITE – the opponent as well as to foresee his movements.
  3. Enhances agility by performing of DOUSA – techniques.
  4. Helps to avoid technical WARUJ KUSE – ill habits.

BUDO – a martial art requires an enhancement of SEJSIN – the power of will and DOUGI – moral and ethic norms which are going far beyond the requirements for a common athletic competition.


Practicing KATA

     

 The mean issues by practicing kata are the following:

 

  1. SINKEN – serious approach to performance.
  2. KIHON – basic movements for arm and leg blows, performance of thursts in a proper way, as well as the memory of JINJYOU – the sequence for SEIKAKU – the accurate performance of the movements. It is recomended to perform CHIGEKI RYUSHIN – a fundamental attack technique including holding in center.

The secret of enhancement of a kata consists of HANPUKU – repetition of it in training. But if the take in is WARUI – ill in the very beginning, so the results will be ill as well. So a good instructor is necessarily required to achieve true enhancements.

 

Kata can be trained under advice of a person with a higher level of mastery:

 

  1. At the beginning and the end of the performance of kata a person with a higher level gives the command REI – the greeting bow, names the kata that has to be performed and gives the command HAJIME – to start the performance.
  2. During a technical performance it could be required to divide technical sequences by numbers. Usually, for exercising of WAZA NO – technical sequences no explicit command is required.

 

Exercising kata includes:

 

  1. Courtesy REI – greeting bow, enhancement of SENSIN – the power of will.
  2. SEIKAKU – the right stand, technique for right disnace TAISABAKI – body yielding.
  3. Bringing the technical mastery in line with the own mind, various techniques of KUMIUCHI – wrestling.

 

Kata provides a basis for mastery in the technique of KOUGEKI – the attacker as well as BOUGYO – the defender. For that reason kata is always performed by two effectives. The one starting as the attacker is named KAKARI – the assaulterand the one in the defending role is called KOTAE – the respondent. Kata for two effectives is built upon a fencing scheme. Additionally, there is the practice of KIHON – the basis for solo kata performance. The enhancement of the kata technique RIAI – is according to the rules of the technical standard, SEI – calmness of movement according to DOU – movements of calmness. Taking in this principles enables a quick responding to any changes of the situation, as well as a selection of a proper technique.

 

Requirements and hints to performance of a combat KATA

 

REIHOU – the right behaviour, the right breathing and stand, METSUKE – the right facial expression, SABAKI – feet position. Techniques for use of KENSOKU– arms and legs. Capability to hold the opponent´s arms, the art of KAWASI – wrapping. Practicing kata helps to master a proper placing of blows, as well as the art of KAGEKI – the exchange of blows. The art of ATEMI – an initiative attack with powerfull blows, throws or virtuoso performing of joint lock, while keeping assertiveness, efficiency and SEIKAKU – precision. Sequence of kata and TAISABAKI – posture in the rhythm of the movement. KIAI – concentrated shouts (voiced or muted) to enhance the spirit and the power of will. SZANSHIN – equanimity, keeping the feel for the right distance.

 

Basic requirements for performing a kata:

 

  1. In case that a kata is performed by two effectives, the right mesure of steps, as well as the technique of SURIASHI – feet shuffling . Shall be performed in the middle of a dojo, the distance between the opponents shall be 4,5 till 5,5 meters. Considering the middle of the dojo, the respondent shall be placed on the HIDARI – left side, and the attacker on the MIGI – right side facing each other. Than them shall give the proper expression of their character, perform a bow in standing position and than take the SONKYO – the squat position. Afterwards follows the order of TANDEN – abdominal breathing. The underbelly shall be filled with concentrated power.
  2. FUMIDASHI – lunging forward taking a middle stand (usually left-side). If the attacker has a rank of SHINO – instructor so he is guiding the exercise.
  3. The attacker and the respondent mutually step towards each other on the distance of SANPO – three steps, and the attacker starts KOUGEKI – the attack. The respondent performs HANGEKI – counterattack. Afterwards them reduce the distance keeping ZANSHIN – equanimity. Restraining their breath both effectives withdraw to MOTO – the initial position and than continue to perform further technical movements. Before making a move forward a deep KYUKI – breath and than, with a single breath (without stopping the move), a lunging attack shall be performed among with a shout. The attacker shall shout EY, the respondent YA - TO. The shouts shall sound loud and distinct, though the underbelly shall be filled with power. While retreating, the body shall stay imperturbable, and the spirit of TAIKI – expectancy shall be perfected.
  4. At the end of the kata performance, the standard squat position shall be taken, than the RETSUREI – the standing bow shall be performed from the place of honor, followed by a calm retreat.
  5. In case of a sole performance of a kata, the performance shall be oriented towards the KAMIZA – the place of honor. The technical basis of a kata consists of SHISEI – the posture. The key to the proper posture is the position of the loin. This is the prevailing technical fundament. To keep a posture capable for fighting, it is essential to achieve a complete stability of KOSHI – the loin.

 

Focused shouts.

 

Filling the body with KIRYOKU – energy, the shout happens naturally, ensuring ATTOU – suppression of the opponent. To hold back HAKI - the rush and the eagerness is pointless, but nevertheless there is no significant benefit for a beginner student to sound RYOKKOU – the mighty shout. The right HASEIHOU – vocalization starts with a confident shout. The purpose of the shout ist to demonstrate the opponent IKIYOI – the own power, strength and integrity of KOKORO – the spirit, while using the art of HAZUMI – recoil, jump-off, momentum, thurst, elsticity, withdrawal, as well as keeping the cohesion of SEISHIN – the power of will. Moreover, to make CHIKARA TSUYOI – a mighty sound out of the belly. It ist recomended that HABA – range of the piercing shout shall be MIJIKAI – short. The best condition is if the shout flows unconsciously out of the body. The highest level of this art is MUSEI – unsoundness.
