Hard and soft (martial arts)

In the martial arts, the terms loud and soft techniques show how tough a defensive martial artist defends the power of attack in armed and unarmed combat. In the East Asian martial arts, proper techniques of hard and fine techniques are? (pinyin yÃÆ'¬ng, Japanese g? ) and? (pinyin rÃÆ'³u, Japanese j? ), then Goju-ryu (hard-soft school), Shorinji Kempo's principle of go-ho ("hard method") and < i> ju-ho ("soft method"), Jujutsu ("art of softness") and Judo ("gentle way").

In European martial arts the same scale applies, especially in the German style of grappling and the sword game dating from the 14th century ( for example, , the German school of the fence); use of hard and gentle terms if not translated as "strong" and "weak." In later European martial arts the scale became less of a philosophical concept and was more of a scientific approach in which two swords were connected to each other and the choice was valid for each in that state.

Regardless of the origin and style of "hard and soft" can be seen as merely "opposing or producing"; each has its own application and should be used in its own way, and each uses certain time and biomechanical principles.

In addition to describing physical techniques applied with minimal strength, "soft" also sometimes refers to elements of discipline that are viewed as less physical; for example, martial arts that are said to be "internal styles" are sometimes also known as "soft styles", to focus on mental techniques or spiritual pursuits.

Teknik keras

A hard technique meets with style, either by force inhibition techniques, front-on force, or by cutting a strike by a person's power diagonally. Although hard techniques require greater power for successful execution, it is a technique mechanism that achieves defense. The example is:

• Kickboxing's low kick aims to break the attacker's foot.
• The Karate block aims to break or stop the attacker's arm.

Hard techniques can be used in violation, defense, and counterattack. They are affected by footwork and skeletal alignment. For the most part, hard techniques are straightforward. The key point of the hard technique is to disrupt the flow of attacks: in counter attack they are seen to break the attack and by attacking them instantly and doing a punch or throw. Hard techniques use more muscle than soft techniques.

Soft technique

The goal of soft technique is to deflect the attacker's power to his misfortune, with the defender providing minimal strength. With a soft technique, the defender uses the strength and momentum of the attacker against it, by leading the (er) attack in the direction where the defender will be advantageously positioned (tai sabaki) and the attacker unbalanced; smooth movement then effects the appropriate soft technique. In some martial arts styles such as Wing Chun, a series of increasingly difficult student training exercises, such as pushing a sticky hand or hand, teaching to train soft techniques; therefore:

(1) The defender leads the attack by directing the attacking forces against him, or away from the defenders - instead of meeting the attack with the block. The soft technique of defense techniques is usually circular: Generate is a powerless meeting without resistance, like a projectile glancing at the surface without damaging it. Other examples could be: Aikido check/block to the attacker's arm, which redirects the incoming energy from the blow.

(2) The soft technique is usually applied when the attacker is off-balance, so the defender achieves the ideal "maximum efficiency" assumed by Kano Jigoro (1860-1938), founder of judo. The history of Taijiquan ( T'ai chi ch'uan) reported "the power of four taels capable of transferring a thousand kati", referring to the Taiji principle - a moving mass can be seen without weight. Soft techniques - throws, sleeves, etc. - may resemble martial arts techniques that are hard, but different because their applications require minimal power. (see kuzushi)

• In the Fence, by parrying, the defender guides or checks the attacker's sword away from himself, rather than holding back the direct block power; possibly followed by replies and replies.
• In the Classical Fence, other techniques appear in all forms of sword play falling into the soft category, the most obvious being the release in which a fencer or swordsman uses his opponent's pressure to escape and alter the line on his opponent gives him an advantage in binding.
• In Bare-Knuckle Boxing or Pugilism, by parrying, the defender guides or checks the attacker's attack from himself, tries to cause the attacker to carry out his attack and allow easy reply and counter replies.
• In Judo and Jujutsu when the attacker (uke) pushes toward the defender (tori), tori falls under the uke, while lifting the uke upon himself, affecting the throw of Tomoe Nage with one of his legs. This technique is categorized as "front sacrifice technique" in judo and jujitsu style. The thrust of uke can be immediate, or it could be a response to the impulse of the tori.
• With a martial arts style like T'ien Ti Tao Ch'uan-shu P'ai soft style also conforms to Taoist philosophy, the idea that this technique can also be applied in both mental and physical terms..

Soft techniques can be used in violations but are more likely to appear in defense and counterattack. Just as their hard technique is affected by leg work and skeletal alignment. Where hard techniques in defense often aim to disrupt the flow of attacks; soft technique aims to misinterpret it, move around it or pull it into excessive commitment, in retaliation soft techniques can emerge as slips or safes or simply use the momentum of the technique towards the user. The soft techniques of infringement usually include only trickery and interesting moves but the definition and categorization can change from one art form to another.

Soft techniques are also characterized as circular in nature and are considered internal (using Qi (Chinese) or ki (Japanese and Korean)) by martial arts such as t'ai chi ch'uan, hapkido and aikido.

Principle J?

principles Ju (? , J ?, Yawara ) underlies all the classic Bujutsu methods and is adopted by Bud developers? discipline. Acting according to J principle, classical fighters can intercept and momentarily control the sword of their enemy when attacked, then, in an instant, can strike back with force strong enough to split the armor and kill the enemy. The same principle as J? allowing an unarmed exponent to be unbalanced and to throw his enemy to the ground. Terms such as "J? Jutsu" and "Yawara" make J principle? all that exists in the methods cited under this provision. The principle is rooted in the concept of flexibility or flexibility, as well understood in the mental and physical contexts. To apply the J principle, the exponent must be mentally and physically capable of adapting to any situation the enemy may inflict upon him.

There are two aspects of the J principle? which operate constantly, can be interchangeable and inseparable. One aspect is that it "produces," and manifests in the actions of the exponent that receives enemy attack power, rather than opposing it by fulfilling its power directly with equal or greater strength, when it is advantageous to do so. It is economical in terms of energy to accept enemy forces by intercepting and deflecting them without directly opposing them; but the tactics used by enemy forces disappear by force like the original action of the enemy.

Principle J? incomplete at this point as it produces basically just neutralizing enemy forces. While giving way to the enemy's attacking force there must be immediately implemented actions that take advantage of the enemy, now preoccupied with his attacks, in the form of counterattacks. The second aspect of J principle? making leeway for situations where yielding is impossible because it will cause disaster. In such a case, "resistance" is justified. But the resistance to the actions of the enemy is only momentary and is quickly followed by action based on the first aspect of J ?, ie yielding.

Difference from "external and internal"

There is disagreement among the various Chinese martial arts about how the two concepts "Hard/Soft" and "External/Internal" apply to their style.

Among the styles to which this terminology is applied, Taijiquan traditionally equates the terms while retaining some of the subtle nuances of difference.
