- part 1 of 3 - Chapter 5 Igod Tsih Eilehi -------------------- Igod Tsih Eilehi (Short Stick Art) should be done from both sides. Learn and practice performing it one grip with the left hand forward and then the same grip with the right hand forward. Then, learn the next grip with the left hand forward and then the right hand forward. After the grips, learn and practice the stance and postures using the same procedure. In these cases, starting with the left hand and leg forward and then the right hand and leg for the stance and then the same routine for each of the postures, one at a time. The daandii (fundamentals = kihon) are the individual strikes, sweeps, and thrusts, such as: Bidah Dahszii Yinltlish (Front Standing Strike = Shomen Dachi Uchi). The Eight Directions Striking (Tsebii Haagoti Yinltlish = Happo Uchi) and 31-Count Practice (Tadin Dalaa Hotag Hadildego) and/or Formal Solo Excersize (Gochital Dasahn Hadildego = San Ichi-Renshu) should be learned one daandii at a time from each side before adding the next daandii in the Striking, Practice, and/or Practice. * shutokukan.org/join_the_ryu.html baltimorejodo.org/ shinto-muso-ryu.org/ Practice the following at different times during each day. For example, in the morning and evening. They are written in the form: Ndee = English (Japanese) page number in Lowry, 2005 Ndee - Japanese similarities I. Nayitihgo or Honta = Grips (Nigiri) p. 36 Nayiti- = Nigi- (t and g are close); -go = -gi- Honta = Honte, Hon-te, or Hon Te; -ta = -te (Te means hand and hands are used to grip) 1. Daandii Bigan Nayitihgo = Basic (True or Fundamental (Hon)) Hand (Te) Grip (Nigiri) pp. 36 and 74 Hon-te Nigiri or Honte Nigiri or or Daandii Bigan Honta Daan- = Hon (d and h are close); -dii = -te (d and t are very close); Daandii = Honte Honta = Honte People grip with their hands. These words are related. 2. Yikizhi Bigan Nayitihgo = Reverse Hand Grip (Gyaku Te Nigiri) pp. 37 and 74 -i- = -u or Yikizhi Bigan Honta = Gyaku-te Nigiri or Gyakute Nigiri yik- = Gyak-; 3. Naki Ilta Nagoilnaa Nanayidisgeed Nayitihgo = Two Different Methods Combination Grip (Ketsugo Nigiri) p. 37 -ki Ilt- = Ket-; -go = -go or or 3. Naki Ilta Nagoilnaa Nanayidisgeed Honta II. Dahszii = Stance (Dachi or Dai) p. 40 Dahszii = Dachi Ilniyu Binii Dahszii = Half Facing Stance (Han Mi Dachi) p. 40 or Han-mi Dachi or Hanmi Dachi Bi- = Mi (b and m are very close) or Taagi Dahszii Triangular Stance (Sankaku Dai) p. 40 III. Nagozaa = Postures (Kamae) p. 41 Pay particular attention to the postures [Nagozaa = Kamae]. They are the result of experimentation, frequently conducted on the ultimate testing ground - the battlefield. The way we hold the [igod tsih] in a particular Nagozaa is the most effective way of holding it, period. Those masters who created these Nagozaa did so at the risk of their lives and until or unless you have done the same sort of experimenting, stick with the traditional [nagozaa]. (Lowry, 2005, p. 35). 1. Ildi Nagozaa = Middle Level Posture (Chudan Kamae) pp. 41 and 74 2. Hadag Nagozaa = Upper Level Posture (Jodan Kamae) p. 42 3. Bide Hagon Nagozaa = Rear Angle Posture (Waki Kamae) pp. 43 and 78 IV. Yinltlish Nagoilnaa = Striking Methods (Uchi Kata) Techniques. Kata means method and/or technique) pp. 49, 190, and 191 or or Yinltlish Hizhoohi Striking Techniques (Uchi Waza) -oo- = U-; hi = chi; -oohi = Uchi; Hizhoohi = It shakes or moves (Waza) - in other words, a Strike is a Technique; a stick in and of itself, just laying there, is not a technique, but, striking with a stick is a Technique. Therefore, Hizhoohi and Uchi are variations of the same word and came to mean Technique and Strike. ...It is possible to strike with the [igod tsih] in the six basic methods of cutting with the sword [hal]: 1. Front [Bidah = Shomen and/or Overhead (Bitsita = Otoshi); Bidah Yinltlish = Front Strike (Shomen Uchi) and/or Bitsita Yinltlish = Overhead Strike (Otoshi Uchi)], 2. Left [Ishgane = Hidari; Hagodn Aagee = At An Oblique Angle = Naname or Diagonal = Naname; Ishgane Hagodn Aagee Yinltlish = Left At An Oblique Angle Strike = Hidari Naname Uchi or Left Diagonal Strike = Hidari Naname Uchi, 3. Right [Dehenaa = (Migi); Dehenaa Hagodn Aagee Yinltlish = Right At An Oblique Angle Strike = Migi Naname or Right Diagonal Strike = Migi Naname Uchi, 4. Left Side [Ishgane Zhineego = Hidari Yoku] and 5. Right Side [Dehenaa Zhineego = Migi Yoku], and 6. Thrust [Yitsiitsih = Tsuki]. In addition, the [igod tsih] can be used to [Nagolshoh] Sweep [Barai or Harai] or [Yinltlish] Strike [Uchi] from [aagee] angles [naname] that go from low to high or high to low, largely because of the freedom you have in lengthening, shortening, or reversing your [Nayitihgo or Honta] grip on the [benaitseedi] weapon (Lowry, 2005, p. 49). B. Dahszii Yinltlish = Standing Strikes (Dachi Uchi) In classical nagondzoog = combat, the Haashkee was educated to consider every hizhoohi complete unto itself, sufficient to accomplish the purposes of the Haashkee. Naturally, the Haashkee practiced Nanayidisgeed Hizhoohi = Multiple Techniques or Renwaku Waza but the Haashkee treated each of them in the sequence as lethal. It must be assumed...that there will be no second chance. The initial action must be delivered with complete resolve. It should never be blended in with a succeeding hizhoohi. Dalaa (One) Daandii (fundamental = kihon) is done two times (three, in the case of number 3. Hagodn Aagee Dahszii Yinltlish (At an Oblique Angle (Diagonal) Standing Strike = Naname Dachi Uchi) without pausing between the Daandii in each pair (and triplet in the case of number 3.) of the following Nanayidisgeed Hizhoohi (Combination and/or Multiple Techniques = Renwaku Waza): 1.
