The 9 Moving Forces



The 9 moving forces is part of all traditional karate training.  When the art moved to Japan and was taught in the schools, some of the more deadly aspects of the art, were removed.  Because of this, some of the knowledge has been forgotten.  Or the more unscrupulous instructors market it as "hidden secrets" of karate. 

Here is a brief outline and description of the 9 Moving Forces.  We teach all of these at Black Pine.

    Breath Control (Kokyuu-waza) —This includes the timing of the breath (inhale and exhale) and the technique, to develop greater internal energy.
    Absorbing and controlling pain or punishment (Kote Aite) — This is also known as "Iron Shirt Training” and includes conditioning the body to be able to receive a blow.

                Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.  Just as the leopard was about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard!  I wonder if there are any more around here?"
