Ikkyo is the first introduction.
It includes all the techniques, everything.
How to keep our balance in the best condition and how to unify.
Both are hitting.
How to welcome and cooperate
at the balance point.
Him and me - we become one.
For the last moments, not by power.
When he tries to stand up, control the balance outward.
After he's lost his balance, he can't stand up.
"Omote" is this part. The back side is "ura".
Like a front gate and a back gate.
Give him a chance.
It's difficult,
but you guide his will to the back.
The principle is the same.
We need both. Like yin and yang, yang and yin.
One set. It's difficult to divide.
So welcome.
Give him a chance to resist and guide his balance outward.
As a martial art, you can hit or break.
Not by power.
Control his balance out of order so he can't stand up.
This is the principle of all the techniques.
All are the same principle.
If we've lost our balance we can't do anything.
