Gensoku to gainen [原則と概念] の Bugei [武芸] (原則と概念の武芸)
Fundamental principles and concepts are such they don’t rely on or require connection to techniques or styles of martial disciplines like my system of Isshinryu. They apply to all forms of physicality be it football, track and field, or combat. Everyone can benefit from understanding what follows.
You hear phrases like, “body mechanics or biomechanics,” when discussing this fundamental foundation of the applications of physicality.
My first foray in explaining fundamental principles of karate-jutsu can be reviewed here:
You won’t be reading about such specifics of techniques because specific techniques don’t matter, but methods and methodologies do because you have to free-flow creatively and deal with the fluidity of each moment where dealing with the unexpected means life or death in conflict and violence.
Here is an example: joints
Three main types: immovable, slightly movable and freely movable.
Six types of movable:
- Ball and socket.
- Hinge.
- Condyloid.
- Pivot.
- Gliding.
- Saddle.
Takeaway
The adult human skeletal system has a complex architecture that includes 206 named bones connected by cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and three types of joints (on Okinawa they call this “chinkuchi!”):
- synarthroses (immovable)
- amphiarthroses (slightly movable)
- diarthroses (freely movable)
Although the actual number of joints in any one person depends on a number of variables, the estimated number is between 250 and 350. - https://tinyurl.com/2p9vx4kf
Now for the hard part, they all function in conjunction with one another or as the old song goes, “the hip bone is connected to the leg bone … “
