Body building for old school jiu-jitsu
This isn't about training power or stamina. In our club, we do not practice only specific school skills, but we will experience through the games and exercises the physical operation methods that are common to these old-style martial arts. That is the meaning of “body building”.
First step “Te-hodoki”
There are various ways to handle the wrist, sleeve, collar and shoulder. For example, you can shake your opponent's hand, get it back, or apply joint techniques. They are the first step of old school jiu-jitsu. Called "Te-hodoki"."Te" is a hand, "hodoki" is to free your body. If you move correctly, you don't need great power.
We also practice weapons
Weapon training is very useful for confirming correct physical operation.In this club, you will practice basic operations such as sticks, swords and short bars. It can be used as a confirmation of the movement of jiu-jitsu.
old school jiu-jitsu practice “Kata-geiko”
"Kata-geiko" is a traditional old school practice method that is performed in pairs. “Kata-geiko” is not a practice of know-how like “Respond in this way when such an attack comes”. It's an exercise to make sure that you are working properly and rationally. When you practice with people, you can see where things are wrong. That is why we do “Kata-geiko”.
