I think that there are many people whose favorite technique is debana men.
I’m going to introduce three different types of ways to execute this technique today.
What I pay attention to when attempting this technique is, like I said earlier, having a kamae that you are confident in and the ability to express this confidence in a way that your opponent can feel.
Naturally you can do this by applying pressure on your opponent. This pressure causes them distress and they step in to strike you. At that instant you strike men. It’s a relatively simple matter. However, you shouldn’t move back but pressure forward and strike them (from the omote side) the instant they move in.
Next, to this method let’s add something. When the opponent moves in to strike, push down on their shinai using your shinai tip then strike. The very instant they move in you should push down and strike (osae waza).
Don’t split these actions up into separate movements, rather they should be done simultaneously.
Next, the third method. While pressure the opponent move your shinai tip down and around the opponent’s to the ura side. When the opponent steps in strike them immediately. Strike without pulling your hands back directly from your kamae.
These are the three debana men patterns I use during my own keiko. Please give them a try.
Point: When you want to strike men be sure and pay attention to strongly pressuring your opponent into moving.
Pressure the center line and strike men when the opponent moves forward. In the instant the opponent steps in, push their shinai down with your shinai tip and strike. While pressuring the opponent, move your shinai tip down and around the opponent’s shinai to the ura side. Without pulling your hands back, strike.
Up until now, I’ve been talking only about techniques where you move forward.
You pressure the opponent so that they either move back and you strike or are compelled to attack forward and you strike. These are all techniques where you move forward and strike.
Next I’m going to talk about a technique that I have been using quite a lot recently.
If you pressure the opponent then naturally they will come forward. I say naturally but I’m talking about when they respond to your pressure by attacking you somehow.
Sometimes you find yourself in the situation where you think “Oh, I’m late (in striking them first)…”
At this time, you can, evading their attack, move back and strike men like this. Strike the opponent around about their right men whilst moving back a little bit diagonally to the left. I’ve been doing this a lot recently.
At this time, even though your body may bend a little bit to the back you must, naturally, never divert your gaze from the opponent.
If you do so, it will affect the action of your hands and your strike will be less effective. Keep looking at your opponent. Please try this.
Point: Whilst moving the body diagonally back to the left, evade the opponent’s attack and strike men. Be careful not to break your posture or to divert your gaze from the opponent.
