MUSCLE
REACTION: BODY REACTION
There
are automatic reactions to force which you can take
advantage of if you
understand them. In judo and Aikido it has
been referred to as the “giving way”
principle, but that does
not adequately describe the full range of action and
reaction
which it means to explain.
You
can experiment in this fashion: do not tell your partner
what you are trying to
do and you will have a completely
unrehearsed demonstration of muscle reaction.
Ask
him to make a fist and instruct him to push up as hard as
he can, while you
push down on his fist.
If
you suddenly remove your hand, his fist will rise quickly as
the result of his
own action.
Body
reaction is the same principle applied on a larger scale. If
you ask your
partner to pull back while you pull him forward,
and then suddenly release your
grip, he will move back-ward
as the result of his own action.
