I remember seeing a wood-cut of a technique where a swordsman who has been attacked from behind by an assassin stabs himself upwards through the stomach, right up to the tsuka of his sword, and impales the assassin in the heart.

While this is not a technique I plan on practicing, can anybody tell me its' name? It seems quite symbolic of something that's going on at my work at the moment!

Is that from an anime??

I love the waza where Droopy the Dog grabs the enemy and smashes him side to side about a half a dozen times. He exhibited great ki and zanshin. Truly an example for all.

Such an act is depicted in "Ronin" by Frank Miller. It's a comic book.

Are you sure it was a wood-cut print?

That technique is used in a video game called Tekken by a character named Yoshimitsu.

It appears I may have been strung along. The image I was thinking of was a black & white reproduction of what looked like a genuine Japanese wood-cut, though it may have been a hoax.

I may be new to this, but I do know the difference between a wood-cut and anime!

I can see the caption:

"This is going to hurt me more than it is you"

Highlander-fu, sounds like!

My preferred caption would be, "Time for a piggyback ride!"

Aiuchi. Mutual slaying.

Of course there is no formal name for such a technique, because it would not exist in the curricula of extant ryu. To see why, consult any anatomy book and look at such structures as the decending aorta, pancrease, kidneys and adrenals, etc., etc., etc.

Is also the name of a female japanese pop-artist and/or super-model. :rolleyes:

Hi Scott.
James the new T shirt's at the printers.....Metsuke up, back straight.
It was a toss up between that and ....Why are you looking at me instead of your opponent?

It seems a bit severe to stab oneself just to get the opponent, when there's plenty of forms that cover the instance of an enemey from behind. And anyway, how do you carry out the chiburi afterwards!
I'd like to see the picture though.

Tony

Ochiburi is possible straight after the stab but it does involve you launching yourself sideways across the room.
