子供達の戦いぶりは、確実に上達しています、特に蹴り技に威力が増し、連続の蹴り技が出て、更に蹴り技に対して、すかさず反撃の蹴りが良く極っていました。
特に，掌底打ちが東日本の選手達に見られ、思い切り飛び込んできて連続の掌底打ちで、相手の動きを止め、又後ろに下がるところを追い込んでの連続の蹴り技から良く極っていました
単発での攻撃、又攻撃した後の体構えが不十分だと、簡単に連続した反撃技に中段、上段の不防備の処に打ち込まれてしまい負けてしまうので、戦法の対策を良く考え、研究しなければ成りません。
攻撃に必要なことは、まず、“作り、崩し、極める”事が大切です。
そして
１に、目、相手を良く見る､隙を見つける、
２に、足、相手の動き、構え、
３に、術、相手の技、戦法を読むことが大切です。
反撃に関しては、次のブログで話します。
Based on watching the recent 29th Japan Open, it is clear that the fighting techniques, especially kicking techniques, of young competitors have greatly improved.
Participants were attacking with strong kicking combinations, and the opponent would counter with kicks as well.
An interesting difference to note was that participants from the Eastern Japan region tended to use Shotei Uchi techniques to stop forward movement of their opponents, then quickly step in to attack with kicking techniques.
If a karateka attacks with only a single technique, and does not have adequate Kamae and defensive technique, an opponent can easily take points with combination techniques.
Therefore, one must develop an appropriate strategy, carefully watching others.
There are three important elements for attacking with any technique or combination:
1. Tsukuri (setting up with right stance and technique)
2. Kuzushi (off-balancing the opponent)
3. Kimeru (attacking with focus to score points)
For example, in a combination technique, one may think of a first movement or technique as being Tsukuri Waza to create the right positioning, the second technique as Kuzushi Waza (to remove the opponent’s balance), and third technique as Kime Waza (to strike with focus).
One should also bear this in mind when practicing Kata.
We should also consider three other important tactical elements in attacking:,
1. Watch the eyes of opponents and find the space to attack
2. Check foot and body movement of opponents
3. Find the technique, tactics and strategy of opponents.
The next blog will discuss some important points regarding counter techniques.
