逆半身片手取り・対応三種
Three variants of response to the Gyaku-hanmi Katate-dori
一種目：the first variant
front foot steps to the side
(3 o'clock if Right Hanmi or 9 o'clock if Left Hanmi),
rear foot steps forward, pointing towards the Uke
you now face your Uke from a 45 degree angle from the initial line of attack
二種目：the second variant
do a Tenkan
(be careful to keep your center,
you don't need to look at your Uke,
open your chest and arms)
三種目：the third variant
accept the Uke along the line of Uke's attack,
turn in the opposite direction of a Tenkan,
as you lead/swing the Uke in front of you
刀剣 Sword
Basic sword handling:
素振り Suburi ("plain swing") Stand in half-stance (Hanmi), bring the sword up (hands near your forehead, sword tilted back ~<45 degrees), then swing the sword down to a horizontal position (tip is pointing slightly up) (cut down through to your opponent's navel, don't stop at their head), the sword should stay still the moment you swing the sword fully down, your feet stays in place.
右半身 Right Hanmi Half stance, right foot forward and pointing straight ahead left foot behind and at ~45 degree angle a relatively wide stance (wider stance than Ikkyo-undo) for the Suburi, right knee slightly bent (right hand grip is above that of the left, some space between allowed)
左半身 Left Hanmi Half stance, left foot forward and pointing straight ahead
right foot behind and at ~45 degree angle a relatively wide stance for the Suburi, left knee slightly bent (the grip on the sword is the same as above--right hand above left)
四方切り Shiho-giri (four-direction cut) If starting from Right Hanmi, small step forward with front (right) foot as you swing the sword down [North], (your left hind foot may follow), lift the sword as you do a Tenkan (turn 180 degrees without lifting your feet), small step forward with front (left) foot as you swing the sword down [South], (your right hind foot may follow), lift your sword as you step 90 degrees to your right with your right foot and swing the sword down [West], (your left hind foot may follow), lift the sword as you do a Tenkan (turn 180 degrees without lifting your feet), small step forward with front (left) foot as you swing the sword down [East] (your right hind foot may follow). Repeat with [South, North, East, West], then [North, South, West, East], etc. 八方切り Happo-giri (eight-direction cut) Should be similar as above, although not sure when/where the 45 degrees comes in. either [N, S, W, E, NW, SE, SW, NE] or [N, S, NW, SE, W, E, SW, NE]
The Shiho-nage variants of the sword handling: Imagine two sword wielding attackers, one in front and one behind you. This can be thought of as the variation of the regular Shiho-nage techniques.
相半身片手取り・表・四方投げ Ai-hanmi Katatedori, Omote, Shiho-nage There are two sword wielding attackers, one in front and one behind you. If starting with Right Hanmi, as the two attackers lift their swords simultaneously, take a small step with your right foot slightly to the right of the line of attack as you cut your front opponent with a sideways (L to R and upwards) strike, then do a Irimi Tenkan (small step forward with Left foot, then turn 180 degrees without lifting your feet), (your opponents would have swung down their swords to where you used to be) and swing your sword down onto the forearm or head of the rear opponent. The sizes of your steps should be small to strike your opponent at the right distance.
相半身片手取り・裏・四方投げ Ai-hanmi Katatedori, Ura, Shiho-nage There are two sword wielding attackers, one in front and one behind you. If starting with Right Hanmi, as the attackers lift their swords simultaneously, do a Irimi: a small step forward with your left foot slightly to the left of the line of attack, then a Tenkan: and turn 180 degrees without lifting your feet as you cut the rear opponent with a sideways (L to R and upwards) strike, then do another Irimi Tenkan (step with left foot, then turn 180+ degrees without lifting your feet) (your opponents would have swung down their swords to where you used to be) and swing your sword down onto the forearm or head of the front opponent. The sizes of your steps should be small to strike your opponent at the right distance.
逆半身片手取り・表・四方投げ Gyaku-hanmi Katatedori, Omote, Shiho-nage There are two sword wielding attackers, one in front and one behind you. If starting with Right Hanmi, as the two attackers lift their swords simultaneously, take a small step with your right foot slightly to the right of the line of attack then step forward with your left foot to the left of the line of attack as you cut your front opponent with a sideways (R to L and upwards) strike, then do a Irimi Tenkan (step forward with your right foot and turn 180 degrees without lifting your feet) (your opponents would have swung down their swords to where you used to be) as you swing your sword down onto the forearm or head of the rear opponent. The sizes of your steps should be small to strike your opponent at the right distance.
