Japanese fencing rules

Japanese name is "ばっとぅじゅつ". It is a type or movement of Japanese fencing.

Generally speaking, when facing the enemy in the cold weapon battle, the knife should be drawn out in advance to meet the enemy; However, the knife drawing technique is just the opposite, deliberately putting the knife into the scabbard. There are generally several explanations about the principle of drawing a sword:

1 Unlike swords, Japanese swords and scabbard have certain radians, and drawing a sword is to use this radian and friction to generate instant explosive force, which is stronger and faster than directly wielding a knife out of thin air, so the first move is to cut the enemy first and strive for a fatal move.

In ancient Japan, visitors usually sat on their knees (harmony room, of course, there would be no chairs). In this position:

1) The knife attached to the waist will naturally extend backward, so it is difficult for the other party to accurately estimate the length of the knife without pulling out the knife, so it is impossible to determine whether the other party can pose a threat to itself; But we are fully aware of whether the other side is within our first move range, so once the war starts, we can grasp the situation in advance and move first in a favorable position.

2) Generally, the swordsmanship practiced by samurai is standing, while the swordsmanship practiced is kneeling. When the conversation with the other party is not harmonious, you can immediately make a move in a kneeling position when the other party is unprepared (or too late to guard), in order to catch him off guard.

Based on the above situation, we can see that one of the characteristics of drawing a sword is to emphasize that one stroke is fatal.

In addition, it is said that contact broaching pays great attention to the use of leg strength and angle.

Unfortunately, the above explanations are all artificially circulated and lack of corresponding textual research. Therefore, they can only be used as a "possible" explanation.

Two things are certain.

1) Now there is sword drawing in Japan, but it is of a performance nature.

2) There did exist a school of saber painting in Japanese history. However, whether this genre is really effective in actual combat is still controversial.

Saber paintings often appear in Japanese ACG works. For example, Shinguuji Sakura in sakura wars, Ukyo Tachibana in Searching for the Soul, Shin Kuhn in fei cun in Long Ke, Zhou Tai in The Three Kingdoms 4 and Virgil in devil may cry 3 are all martial arts schools.

In addition, this paper temporarily adopts the concept of "drawing a sword = cohabitation", and there are different opinions about the specific difference between these two words, just like the principle of drawing a sword. According to the following reference to the web page, it is:

Broaching = He Ju = He Ju-Broaching Method of Ancient Wushu = Ido-Modern Wushu Performance.

In Japanese, drawing a sword is also called "He Ju" because it requires a special kind of knife to start, which is called "He Ju knife".

He Ju knife can be called a kind of punching knife, which has a certain radian, length and handle length (suitable for both hands).

There are standards to follow, which is convenient for moving knives. For example, a straight knife or a knife with a particularly long blade that is difficult to dial quickly is not called a closed knife. Half a knife can also be used for cohabitation.

The design requirement of He Ju Knife mainly lies in quick tool change, so there are requirements for the center of gravity and the length of the knife. On the whole, the blade is shorter than ordinary knives, and so is the handle. In this way, the requirement of fast cutting can be achieved.
