Kakutogi Road Presents: Sayama's Corner "The Story of Shooto Vol.8"
* Note: This is a continuation of where we left of last time, as we continue to rappel the depths of all shoot-mysteries. In this case, as we forge ahead with our translation of "Shooting: The Technical Shooting Fight" from 1986. *

Second Stage: Basic combined class:
Understand the mechanism of technique!
One can advanced through the basic physical fitness class of stage one, if one is quick, in ten days, or if one has never done any sort of training until then, within two months, to join the basic combined class of stage two.
Here one practices through repetition basic techniques to a point so one can engage in simple sparring.
Advanced shooters and preshooters also join in the training of the basic combined class. (But they are free to do their own basic physical fitness training on their own.)
Trainees learn the basic techniques such as punches, kicks, tackles, throws, and so on, excluding joint submissions.
Punching:
There is no sparring [at this stage]. But practice striking, using not only the hands but the whole body in the order of “feetàhipsàshoulders.” Master the basic strikes, left and right, of the shooting straight, shooting short hook, shooting swinging hook, and so on.
Kicking:
Learn the mechanism of the corkscrew kick with the body. Practice until you understand the meaning of the advice of “kicking from the hips,” “gaining balance,” “thrust/pierce through by starting from below the knees,” “kick with pulling power,” and so on.
When the anxiety that anyone has, who begins learning how to kick, asking “Can I really kick like this?,” turns into the conviction that “Alright, I think I can do this!,” the fundamentals of kicking have been completed.
Tackling:
Make the footwork and movement of the center of gravity in the shoulder block double tackle accurate but with speed.
In this class we carefully engage in the repetitive practice of basic techniques and at the same time also cultivate the mental power for enduring it.
Passionate training with the goal of joining the preshooting class.

Third Stage: Preshooting class:
Warriors tremble! Sparring for the first time
In the preshooting class, the student encounters joint submissions for the first time and begins building the correct groundwork for all techniques of striking, throwing, and submitting. Here one basically learns punching, kicking, throwing, and submission techniques, each individually but broadly without too much dept.
Punching:
Once the trainees have learned to punch according to the basics, they pair up to engage in light sparring to measure their distancing and timing. The point is to grasp the rhythm of a match while using light footwork, even if one doesn’t actually hit the opponent.
Kicking:
Building upon the basis of the corkscrew kick, one learns each technique, including the low kick, middle kick, high kick, rolling savate kick, spin kick, leg trip, and so on. Cultivate the knack for real fighting by getting in pairs and in alternation repeating kicking and guarding.
Throwing:
In pairs, alternate practicing the shoulder block tackle. Against a straddling partner who resists being taken down, one tries to take him down or lift him up from the chest.
Joint submissions:
One masters the forms of joint submission techniques. Since with a single mistake, these joint submissions can be extremely dangerous, practice these carefully in accordance with the instructor’s directions. One needs to be able to hook the opponent’s joints from any position when on the ground. This class is limited to mastering each technique, and excludes real live fighting practice in a sparring format.
Training in real fighting:
Engage in light sparring in the format of a match, limiting it to punching or kicking or wrestling. For sparring in striking techniques, wear gloves and fight with 1/5th or 1/6th of your power. There are four principle goals in such sparring:
1) To enter into the center without the fear of being punched.
2) To cultivate correctness of technique.
3) To cultivate balance in various movements.
4) To grasp the sense of defense such as in blocking or parring and to enter by body-stopping.
In wrestling or kicking sparring as well, like in punching sparring, spar intentionally with the goal in mind.
Although one tends to get excited when sparring for the first time, spar calmly with the goal of improving one anothers’ techniques.
When encountered for the first time, one will probably be amazed by the intensity of joint submission techniques.
