OLIKA PRINCIPER FÖR KROPPENS RÖRELSER

Noru is to flow, to set adrift. As leaves in the wind the attack doesn't allow resistance. After the escape the body is used for the counterattack. For example when attacked with ashibarai, perform mawatte uraken.

Nagasu is to evade, litterely: 'to push way' Mostly this is combined with the (preparation of the) attack.

Inasu is deflecting. To change the direction of the attack of the opponent wich could involve a simultanious counterattack. (sen)

Irimi (entering) is incoming in the reach of the opponent.

Kawashi (avoiding) to avoid the opponent´s attack.

Taisabaki (body control) all techniques should be performed in coordination with the body movement. 

Kuzushi is disrupting the balance.

Kime is about focusing the energy of the technique, the power comes from speed and correct focus. The technique must be accelerated and deacceleratad as quickly as possible at the exact right moment.

Nuki is the principle of depositing the power in the technique in the opponent, to disconnect you power.
It is essential to take off your power before the technique is completed, you must not have any tension at all.

OLIKA TIDSMOMENT FÖR ATTACK

Go-no-sen: This means: afterwards. In karate we speak about a situation wich involves an attack first. This attack is blocked and countered. The respons is: aferwards. The karateka must notice that the counter is placed before the opponent regained his strength and launches his second attack. As in maegeri ipponme, after performing the uchi harai, gyakuzuki must be done before uke regains his balance. In basic training, go no sen is the best method. This can be found in Sanbon Gumite. This is the most primitive way of defense. As the karateka progresses, he will focus on sen training..

Sen: This principle is seen in many of the kihon gumites. The principle of sen is the unification of attack and defense. It occurs simultaniously. The moment the opponent attacks, the attack is blocked and in the samebody movement the counter takes place. If this principle is combined with taisabaki, this will result in a evasion with a counterattack. There is no need to perform a block, because youre body if out of the attacking line. If there is a block, this is mostly in a nagashiform, this means to parry. This can be found in the kihon gumites.

Sen-sen-no-sen: This is the ultimate method to finish youre opponent. This is the most difficult timing. A sometimes misunderstood concept is that you attack first. The moment that you spot the attacker initiate his move you move too and mostly reading his mind so well, that youre attack reaches him, before he even moved. This resultates in a visual misleading. In sen the counter was placed when the opponent finishes his attack. In sensen no sen youre counter is placed even before youre opponent initiates his attack. This askes for great reaction training and mind training as well. You have to read his mind in order to know when youre opponent will attack.
