Aikido

In aikido, one works five fixed assets which constitute five basic techniques (kihon waza) . In work, the final immobilization is not an end in itself, but it is all the step which brings to this immobilization which is important. The goal of work is in fact to develop the attitude:

verticality and balance (shisei) ;
management of the distance and the rate/rhythm from the movement (my A) , placement allowing to carry blows (Atemi) all while protecting itself some;
entered (irimi) , pivot (tenkan) and blow (atemi) allowing to unbalance the adversary, displacement allowing to maintain this imbalance.

The five immobilization are (see Japanese Numération ):

ikkyo , first principle: the technique of control bears also the name of ude osae , i.e. “immobilization of the arm”;
nikyo , second principle, or kote mawashi , “interior rotation of the wrist”;
sankyo , third principle, or kote hineri , “torsion of the wrist”;
yonkyo , fourth principle, or tekubi osae , “immobilization of the front armlever”;
gokyo , fifth principle.

All the forms can be built on a basis of ikkyo , but there exist forms specific to unquestionable movement (such as for example the forms uchi kaiten sankyo ).

Hiji kime osae is an immobilization against an attack in piqué (tsuki) ; some regard it as a sixth principle (rokukyo) .

The aikido also uses fixed assets after projection:

kote gaeshi ;
shi Ho swims .
