Aikido is a martial art rooted in the samurai era. Therefore, almost all techniques are divided into degrees of complexity and have a certain order in the transfer of their students. One of the last stages in the training is the ability to fight while sitting in the Seiza position, against an armed opponent. As is known in the room was forbidden to wear long swords, so most often used to attack a knife or a short sword. One of these methods is Ikaze.

Both opponents sit in ceremonial position. Your eyes are unfocused. This allows you to see that the enemy is reaching for weapons.

-
The opponent attacks You. For protection it is necessary to shift forward and transfer body weight on the left leg. This will allow you to get as close to the enemy and reduce the affected area. Simultaneously with the movement of the left leg, blocks the attack with his hand. Your left hand blocks the opponent's elbow, and your right hand blocks the brush.

-

Blocking a shot, capture brush. Then start turning it clockwise. In order to perform the reception efficiently, it is essential also affect the elbow while twisting the brush.

-
Carry out painful reception until the opponent will not be pressed by a breast to a floor. After that, fix the elbow of the armed hand, for example, it can be pressed with the knee, and turn the weapon out of the opponent's hand. Instructors of our school remind that for successful deduction of the opponent it is necessary to straighten a hand of the contender and only then to fix his knee.

-
Teaching this technique, the instructors of the school "Ten-Chi" recommend to pay attention to some aspects of the reception, which will allow you to perform it with maximum efficiency:

-the battle starts from the Seiza position;

- the closer you are to the enemy, the easier it is to perform the reception;

-the seizure must be compact, which excludes the options of liberation;

-reception is performed quickly, with all actions coordinated.
