Traditional Japanese Body Movement DVD by Shingo Yamazaki

The Power of Harmony with the Spine - Methods to Fully Harness Your Potential

Harnessing Power without Force

The key is turning muscles into "sensory organs."

Chronic pain that does not improve with medical treatment and poor performance in sports and martial arts despite rigorous training might be due to fundamental misuse of the body. This DVD, created by Shingo Yamazaki, a practitioner who overcame his own issues like migraines, herniated discs, and poor motor skills, introduces an original method rooted in ancient body techniques and martial arts philosophy.

Core Concepts:

• Utilizing the Spine: Fish, the ancestors of vertebrates, swim efficiently by using their spines. Modern humans, however, overuse their limbs, causing their spines to stiffen, leading to pain and poor motor skills.
• Sensory Muscles: Generally, muscles are used as "output devices," leading to opposition and conflict. Martial arts, however, treat muscles as "sensory organs," fostering synchronization and harmony, reducing physical and mental stress, and enabling efficient and powerful movements.

Through practical exercises, you will learn to:

• Develop a sense of central balance.
• Understand the laws of rational body movement.
• Move in harmony with your opponent.

This DVD is ideal for:

• Practitioners and trainers who want to learn pain-free, fatigue-free, and efficient body use.
• Sports and martial arts enthusiasts who want to reassess their body and mind for better movement.
• Individuals seeking ways to alleviate constant tension in their body and mind.
