PROJECT OF EXPANSION OF THE TAI-JITSU
PRESENTATION
From the Department of Tai-Jitsu of the Spanish Federation of
Karate, we have elaborated a project with the purpose of expanding
the Tai-Jitsu discipline in the different Autonomous Communities in
which at the present time this practice is not being given or it is
not very well-known.
We commit ourselves to collaborate and to contribute with all our
effort in making that this project gets on and that in three years'
time there is a substantial amount of Black Belts of Tai-Jitsu in
those places where it is developed.
INTRODUCTION
The Tai-Jitsu is a discipline associated in Spain to the F.E.K.
from the year 1978 and it contains not only fist and leg atemis but
also locks, chokes, throws and immobilizations, everything aimed at
the Personal Defense.
With this project the Autonomous Federations of Karate and their
trainers will be able to cover this type of disciplines more guided
toward the Personal Defense. This happens in such a way that
nowadays there are many Martial Artists that are attending courses
of other disciplines in order to improve their classes and to
settle their own doubts and their students. But it is rarely made
following a methodology, on the contrary it stays in odd courses
where some techniques are picked up without following an
evolutionary, logical scheme whose purpose is the adequate
knowledge as to start classes of a new activity in the gym.
PROPOSAL
To carry out courses directed to trainers so that they can impart
Tai-Jitsu Personal Defense in their gyms, with a deep knowledge of
contents and grounds, which will contribute to the success of the
classes and the attainment of objectives.
Therefore, we offer a method which allows not only to teachers but
also to their students to go into in the Tai-Jitsu discipline in a
methodical and gradual way and with the knowledge of the physical
and biomechanics basic principles that sustain these techniques and
this work. In that way a gradual and systematic progression will be
possible until obtaining the technical skills demanded for the exam
of Black Belt 1st DAN.
PROJECT
The project is made of three courses of Tai-Jitsu along the year
for a period of three years, (three licenses), and with length of
time of 6 or 9 h. each one, in which the basic contents, kihon and
practical applications of the Tai-Jitsu will be adapted to the
situations of Personal Defense. At the end of each course an exam
about the technical realization and the understanding of the given
programme will be taken.
The courses will be organized by Federations or Clubs and taught by
the National Director of Tai-Jitsu. They are directed to Black Belt
taijitsuka with degree of Trainer with the purpose of teaching them
as Black Belt 1st DAN of Tai-Jitsu and to educate them as trainers
of Tai-Jitsu of the Spanish Federation of Karate.
OBJECTIVES
- To know the historical backgrounds, Spirit Budo, characteristics
and so on of the Tai-Jitsu discipline.
- To know and to have a good command of the different techniques of
Tai-Jitsu that are taught until finishing the four courses of the
programme of Black Belt.
- To know the physical and mechanical principles that sustain the
good movement of each technical group (throws, locks, chokes,
immobilizations and so on).
- To know the evolution of the methods and theory of teaching the
techniques of Tai-Jitsu and their pedagogic principles, as well as
their more advisable didactic and pedagogic progression.
- To work the techniques of Tai-Jitsu in application and to develop
from a perspective of Open Tasks the mechanisms of adaptation and
necessary adjustment for this application.
