The power to kick out - a new physical sensation bridging "sole roll" and "Namba gait
shotarokimijima
Aligning the body, fundamentally changing movement. The only driving force for this is the "power of kicking.
However, "how to kick" and "how power flows" differ between the traditional and modern worlds.
This is where the philosophy of BUSHIN DERIKYOKU™ comes in.
The essence of "kicking power" begins with the soles of the feet.
All movement begins with the soles of the feet.
Whether walking or getting up, the first thing that awakens the body is the force that pushes = kicks out the ground.
- Where to kick with the sole of the foot
- How do we "channel" that power?
In these two points, the wisdom of each of martial arts, sports, and modern life is concentrated.
Foot Roll: The Wisdom of Modern Biomechanics
Modern gait analysis (biomechanics) recommends a rolling motion
"Landing on the heel → rolling the entire foot and finally kicking out with the ball of the thumb (base of the thumb)"
.
- Rolls disperse impact and smoothly shift the center of gravity
- Efficient walking method suitable for modern shoes, hard floors, and paved surfaces
- Good balance between "propulsion" and "shock absorption
Namba pacing - the wisdom of traditional Japanese movement
On the other hand, the Namba gait andsurisoku are,
- Carry with the entire sole in contact with the ground, "sliding" and "pushing" it out.
- Finally, the sense of "sending force "** on the thumb side of the ball is important.
- Stable movement through the axis without twisting the trunk
- Rather than "absorb impact," it creates "quiet propulsion."
This is a gait that is optimized for Japanese life, such as Japanese dress, sandals, tatami mats, dirt ground, farming, and martial arts--
.
Which is the right answer? ─ The perspective of Busshin Dereki™.
- Both share the same outlet of force, "kicking with the motherfinger ball".
- The difference is the process of "how to capture the ground and how to convey power.
- Rolls transmit force by "rolling" and disperse impact.
- The Namba gait quietly transmits force by "sliding and pushing".
- It is best to use both as "your own" to suit your modern environment and objectives.
What Takeshin Dereki™ conveys
The "power to kick" is the only driving force that keeps the body in shape.
For both rolls and numbas, as long as you can feel the pressure of the ground with the ball of the thumb, that is the "force flow that best suits you".
The important thing is to feel the "force generated and flowing" throughout the body.
The shortcut to a comfortable movement and posture is to choose a "truly natural gait" by listening to the environment, the scene, and your own body, rather than being bound by stereotypes.
Conclusion: A New Body Begun by "Fusion" of Wisdom
There are lessons to be learned in both modernity and tradition, and there is no need to deny
either.
Takeshin Dereki™ connects the wisdom of both the
sole roll and the Namba gait, based on the "power of kicking out," and
cultivates a new physical sensation to freely manipulate the "flow of power.
The first step is to "push off the ground".
Please take the time to feel your own "natural flow of power.
