STRIKING TECHNIQUES (ATEMI Waza)
WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AIKIDO
atemi "Striking the body." Strike directed at the attacker for purposes of unbalancing or distraction. Atemi is often vital for bypassing or "short–circuiting" an attacker's natural responses to aikido techniques. The first thing most people will do when they feel their body being manipulated in an unfamiliar way is to retract their limbs and drop their center of mass down and away from the person performing the technique. By applying controlled atemi, one creates a "window of opportunity" in the attacker's natural defenses, taking his balance and making it easier to excute an aikido technique. Atemi is a means of distraction, not a death-blow, and should not cause more damage than necessary (if any). By knowing where to strike, the aikidoka can inflict distracting and debilitating pain without permanent injury to an attacker.
In addition to learning traditional strikes, the Aiki-Jujitsu student is taught a method of striking that allows for a complete transfer of energy from the striker to the recipient. This is much the same method a carpenter might use to drive a nail into a piece of wood. It can also be allegorically described as the same effect a wave has as it buffets you when you attempt to swim against it.
Crucial to the SotoRyu method of striking is the knowledge of the body's nerve points, the study of Atemi. To enhance this study rudimentary shiatsu is taught as a health benefit and as a method of remembering the weak points of the body.
ATEMI-AIKI-JUJITSU involeves strikes to vital nerve points that cause temporary motor dysfunction. This serves as a distraction by creating lag time and allowing the defender to follow up by escaping, using a control technique, or striking again in combination.
Atemiwaza is the art of striking vital or anatomically weak points of the human anatomy. Ueshiba revealed atemiwaza to be 98% of the art of Aikido. Atemi is not practiced as something added to an Aikido technique, but as the essential heart of any Aikido technique from which all else springs.
