ShotoNoob, if you don't mind, would you list kihon principles? Not an arm long list including real subtle stuff, just a broad / top level category list?
Thanks

Renc, whoever you are, I thought some of resident TA experts would have jumped in to support my post.
|
I'll just put up a couple of general principles:
|
1. the full ROM exercises developed physical conditioning. Example, strength, flexibility & balance. Furthermore, since the movements are 'exaggerted' compared to normal activity, they also into a progressive stress that draws on the body physiologically and conditions the internal organs with better oxygen & circulatory flow.
|
2. the full ROM movements require more work, hence more mental discipline. The mind has to do more work to get the body to do more work. This building of mental discipline leads to the capability of greater control of the body. Moreover, psychologically, one becomes less prone to emotion & reactive behavior when under actual stress.
|
3. the full ROM techniques are specifically designed to call upon & engage the entire body into the action, technique. Furthermore, a healthier body (1) supports a healthier mind (3) which can then think & act in a more effective manner.
|
4. the full ROM of kihon form also incorporates martial tactical advantages. I can naturally reach farther to either strike or defend, if need be. I can attack or defend different zones without constriction or resistance.\
|
5. Proper breathing which supports & enhances (1) through (4), including moving on the the metaphysical building of ki & facilitating it's flow, it's benefits re (1) through (4).
|
Of course one has to be willing to embrace these, which most aren't. So that's why you have most plugging the gaps, in their swiss cheese TMA base with the kind of sport karate sparring Jow Ga Wolf was complaining about, then which he goes and largely replicates the same in his well-presented videos. Of course K-Man, whomever here latching on the same.
|
Jow Ga should have replied to my post, not some "renc." Good luck with that.....
BTW: Rogan is promoting the UFC, so what he talks about is fair to say. I've just provided the specifics on why Rogan or any one else critical of the "Modern" or "Okinawan" karates or TMA in general (lets' include TKD, TSD) doesn't know what TMA is.
|
BTW2: training under full contact & opponents physically, "realistically" trying to dominate you is tough. Building the traditional martial arts base is way tougher..... what I have described is way tougher.... This is why you see such poor quality TMA.... which then Rogan & the full contact / sports guy then say, "it's the TMA model that's no good...."
