Irimi (The action of entering)
Nagasu - Inasu - Noru
The arts of 'Nagasu', 'Inasu', 'Noru', are some of the most important characteristics to be found in Wado Ryu's Kihon Gumite.
Nagasu - |
Body evasion or flowing movement used against an opponent. |
Inasu - |
Counter attacking
simultaneously or attacking as your opponent starts his
attack, using the opponent's movement and body weight to
break his/her balance, or counter attacking combined with
the art of 'Nagasu'. |
Noru - |
Not to resist your opponents attack but to bend with it, using your own bodyweight for maximum effect to control and unbalance your attackers posture. 'Noru' can be descried as being like the supple Bamboo in a storm. The stalk will bend but spring back when an opening occurs. |
