| 3th and 4th possibilities are the same as 1th and 2th but the pelvic will turn counter-clockwise and the limbs held on the right side of the body. It means that the right leg will kick top-down-right-left or down-top-right-left respectively. During all these kicks your empty hands and the kicking leg will perform full �fish play� movement but the standing (if you don�t jump) leg performs zero-size fish play movement because it holds the immovable ground. The movements described in par. 1 and 4 I call �Natural Movements�. The movements as in par. 2 and 3 I call �Reverse Movements�. (Pls. see my drafts attached). The movement 1 is a �Natural Movement on the back leg�. The movement 2 is a �Reverse Movement on the back leg�. The movement 3 is a �Reverse Movement on the front leg�. The movement 4 is a �Natural Movement on the front leg�. There is a simple and natural method to convert the directions of the turnings of the hands and legs(Pls. see my drafts attached). By the way, our natural walking as well as a running actually are the �Natural Movement on the back leg�. Exactly the same principle is observed when any other natural movements, martial movements, massage, breathing, so called static and dynamic exercises, any kind of external or internal movements are performed during all different drills and form, internally or externally. Actually it is no really static situation or full stop of movement exists in the Nature, there is always some amount of movement exist everywhere in any time. No other movement�s pattern except of �fish play� is applied in ISAI. In any moment the kicks and strikes as well as any other martial movements can be performed in any possible direction and angle which are mostly depending on the direction of the body and on the opening of the hips which are defined by the will of the performer and which follow to the openings and directions of his spirit. In other words in ISAI any movement can be followed by any other movement, forming the countless number of combinations. The work with different kinds of weapons and tools is under the same principles but some distortions caused by weight and configuration of the tools will take place. Contrary to all Martial Arts I ever saw and read about, ISAI was created in up-down direction, from theory to practice. This makes a great difference. It means that we begin with ISAI from study the biomechanics of our body or, in other words first of all we study the Natural Law of the �fish play� applied to our body. We start from the mechanical or bodily aspect and go inside to the energy and mental level. Later we go outside to the spiritual level. At the beginning we don�t think about martial application at all, we just try to study ourselves, the �fish play�. Otherwise any future performance of ISAI will be incorrect, the pair of fish will be broken, they will jump out of aquarium and die. The next step of our study will be the Martial Applications and finaly at the last third step we will come to the study and understanding of the Natural Law of the �fish play� again, but in the higher level, level of Universe. This is not linear but rather spiral process and these three steps are studied endlessly. This approach make clear the ultimate importance of the Martial Application Study to these who wants to reach the level of Universe. So, in order to resume, I would say that ISAI is the art totally based on the Natural Law of the �fish play�, performed ceaselessly internally and externally for the Martial uses as well as the natural exercise for the health and spiritual development. It is also an aesthetic play that reminds externally a kind of Eastern dance. |
