Hi. 👋
I played the offence side of the pieces.
My opponent, the defence, was quite aggressive – thought one was the offence. Thus I surmised, Mm. Yes, yes. ⬅️ Quite a delay, that.
🤔 Then, I shall employ that lad's energy.
Perfect. Now I'll just gently redirect your queen over there… set your horse loose from the barn… Ah.
And... the bishop on g6 was the peak of the nage-waza.
Come now, you've forgotten your king. Let me help you lie down.
You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.
Nage-waza (投げ技) means throwing technique — a broad term used across Japanese martial arts to describe techniques that off-balance and project the opponent, regardless of whether it's done with redirection, disruption, or sheer force.
In judo, jujutsu, or karate, we throw. In aikido, we guide the opponents so they throw themselves.
The twist, the subtle angle of doom. We might think, Eh, just twisting. Not until we've felt it. It's a precise twist, a tiny realignment — usually wrist, elbow, shoulder — and if we don't willingly go with it, well, we always have option B:
dislocation.
Or... spontaneous wardrobe malfunction, My trousers!
While aikido flows like water around the rock, kempo goes, Oh, you avoid me? Come 'ere. (Chasing. Squinting.) I demand an audience with your nervous system.
Jest, a Shorinji Kempo lad won't do such thing. Unless he's drunk.
Approved by one kempoka.
Arigatou gozaimashita. 🙂↕️
