A Moment One Broke Thru His Limit

This is just a short part of a training video but it was very important for this person.

He was doing jigeiko with me (two people right in front of the camera) and it turned into kakari-geiko.

The kakari-geiko itself was not that hard  but because there was no rest between jigeiko and kakari-geiko, the physical fatigue was kicking in.

Then I gave him a special kirikaeshi; not only long but I started kirikaeshi against his kirikaeshi.

This is very hard for the person who has already hit his/her physical limitation.

But later he told me since this training, he now believes that the limitation that he thought was not really his limitation. So now he believes that kiai (internal energy) can take over his body and keep going even when he thinks he hit his physical limitation.  Needless to say, I was very happy 🙂
