We use all our weapons, everything,
an extension of our fingers, hands.
Otherwise we can’t get any information.
It’s a part of your body.
We say "musubu," lock. His action and my action - make it one.
As it’s a martial art, it becomes as one with you. It’s you.
O-Sensei did not like to explain.
It’s unification. After he becomes one with you, why would you kill him?
It’s a gear. A gear is a jack. Balance.
Ask him to overwork. Then with even one finger...
after that he loses his balance.
So which side is keeping the handle?
If you do it this way, it’s heavy. But if you do...
so you can choose the light position.
If it comes to this... that’s normal.
Only attract his mind. Dangerous.
If he leaves his hand... why not?
So I don’t need to spoil my saber.
We say "awase musubu".
In one movement.
One movement is... he'll never pull.
Hit. The other hand, the other side, yes, it’s easier.
I’m not stopping, I’m helping.
That’s "awase" as we say. Cooperation.
Karate teaches you to stop and hit, stop and hit.
In aikido we don’t have.
