Omote Iai, Ura Iai #2

The techniques of Masaki-ryu Nakajima-ha Manrikigusarijutsu are broadly divided into “Omote Iai” and “Ura Iai”. “Omote Iai” are fundamental striking techniques practiced solo, while “Ura Iai” are pre-arranged forms practiced with a training partner leveraging one’s taijutsu (application of one’s body) and the unique advantages possessed by the chain. We will discuss self-training next time. (名和弓雄先生（左）、中島通雄先生（右））/(Nawa Yumio-sensei (Left)/ Nakajima Michio-sensei (Right)

正木流中島派萬力鎖術の技法は大きく分けると「表居合」と「裏居合」からなっています。「表居合」は単独の基本技で自分から相手に仕掛ける、打ち技 などの技法です。一方では「裏居合」は練習相手と組んで、相手の攻撃に応じる、体術及び鎖術の独特の利点を活かす技法です。次回は一人稽古についてです。
