| The movements are continues and never stop and start like in any other styles, even in different Taiji styles contrary to their own theory. The �fish play� never stops even if it seems that externally you don�t move. So I started to disintegrate every single movement of Yang, Chen, Wu, Wu, Sun and Wang Shu Chin and PangeiNoon styles. The Russian traditional and modern fighting arts were analyzed in the same way exactly. I also analyzed most of the other styles I could see, Chinese and from other countries as well. After the basic elements and meanings of the different techniques and styles were isolated and understood, I compiled different applications of the �fish play� so that every important angle and direction as well as transformations and turning direction changes were covered and fully presented in the form (kata in Japanese, tao in Chinese, tavnit in Hebrew) of ISAI . All these movements are actually the same only one principal form of the �fish play� even from the first look they are like something turning, rolling and whirling constantly. Important to say that I created the different shapes of the �fish play� on the basis of the existing fighting arts movements but I didn�t try to create the art for the fighting. But the most wonderful thing was that the new art of ISAI was very full of the combative meaning and the most effective even in every small part of itself. Every movement in ISAI is complete and integral �fish play� and must be performed with a minimum of the muscular effort (which does not mean weak) and in the most natural way. The speed varies from very slow to very fast and is not constant like in Yang style but rather like in Chen style of Taiji Chuan. The trunk of human body also can be considered as a �fish play�. To say it shortly external contour is the back from pelvic to the shoulders and chest-belly. Internal �S� or the fish bellies is a diaphragm. In order to elaborate the movements additional exercises and drills were created also. They are performed while standing, turning, walking, punching, kicking, etc. Normally they are performed rather in a slow and relaxed manner, but some exercises are done differently, not slow or not relaxed. The martial applications were also elaborated in the later stage. MOVEMENTS & TECHNIQUES The background Martial Arts for ISAI in the meaning of applications are mainly different styles of Taijchuan, Pangei Noon and Russian Martial Arts. But only in the meaning of the martial applications. ISAI doesn�t look even similar to these styles because all the movements without exclusion were constructed according to the principles of ISAI which differ greatly from any other style. For example - in ISAI there no any direct punch or kick or any straight movement in any dimension. For example let�s consider the forward kick. There is no really forward kick in ISAI. There are four basic almost forward kicks which are all actually only one. |
