Master Azuma Takashi

Main speaks me about its long experience in the martial limbs. "I began with the practical one of the judo to 16 years, in the 1965, practical one that lasted 5 years; then I came attracted from the boxe, that I practiced to the university for a year and supported various encounter. I made the soldier and this formation made to approach me, in 1972, to the karate ones kyoshin of master Mas Oyama, from which I obtained the qualification of instructor. I remain with the federation of the kyoshin until 1981, year in which decided to found the Daito juku in order to practice one new shape of combat and they are passed from the karate ones to the judo ".
- Master, which have been the reasons that have pushed it to leave the federation of the kyokushin and to found of one new? "As I have already said, mine has been a military formation, while in the combat of the kyokushinkai there were too many limits, between which the contact to the ace that us cannot be with the fists and the lack of the fight to earth. Therefore I have created a type of combat that was more close possible to the combat from road and the personal defense applied to real techniques capacities to full contact. The athletes do not carry guantoni, but guantini light and, in order to avoid damages to the ace, they wear one protecting mask with visiera in plexiglass. Not utlizzano corpetti and, therefore, the blows to the body come capacities with the maximum power; that presupposes a hard physical preparation for being able ` incassare' and to resist to blows pulls to you without control. Other important element is the fight to earth: one of the two combatants can use swept or projections and, once that its adversary is to earth, have 30 second ones in order to carry its adversary to the yield with levers or stranglings, otherwise the arbitrator interrupts the encounter with a null one of fact and the combat from yoi (the position in feet is resumed). In the combats blows to the legs) and blows of ginocchio can be pulled low kick (". Master Azuma makes to see me of the video of these combats and, in effects, I become account that this type of combat is truly a real encounter. Sure, regarding the karate ones traditional the technique is penalized, but the blows are truly without control. These images make to think me that the practicing athletes this style must truly be of the "super combatant ones", train in order to obtain a shape and one to you hardly not common physical resistance.
- Hour that is rendered me account of the characteristics of this type of combat me speaks about its international organization. "the Daito federation juku has representations in 30 Countries, the more important like number than practicing and as it turns out to you they are Japan, Russia, Chile and Colombia. We have also a representation in Italy, directed from master Andrea Oakum, that it will organize a daito international encounter of juku for the end of October to... - a moment, Azuma sensei takes an insert written in Italian - here will be made Pordenone (Aviano)". An event to which they have been invited to attend and, sure, I will not lack.
- Since its style is based on the combat, during examination for the passages of dan is previewed executions of kata (shapes)? "Not, we have not kata in our style, the athletes must execute of kihon (technical of base and the arranged techniques), then must support 10 combats with various adversaries as an example (one to the time) of 1 ' 30' ' and finally of the hard tests of physical preparation (, one hundred bendings with the arms...).
- I have seen in the video and from the photos on the review of its federation that, during It samples to you, she exhibits in the tameshiwari (breaches of tables, tegole, etc): they are remained hit from its breach of 6 blocks of ice with the tibia and 10 with shuto (the cut of the hand). The breaches make integrating part of the examinations of passage of dan? "Not, these breaches are only to demonstrative level, are during the examinations that during the several one It samples to you are only the test of a hard job of physical potenziamento and the power of the blows".
