Techniques studied by
Mr. Inoue and Mr. Yamamoto
Nerve release through relaxation
- The core of Kobujutsu is “relaxation.”
- Instead of using muscle strength, pressure is delivered deeply with body weight transfer.
- This releases nerve tension and shifts the body into parasympathetic dominance.
Balancing the autonomic nervous system with breathing and rhythm
- Kobujutsu emphasizes “breathing methods” and “timing (rhythm).”
- By synchronizing pressure with the client’s breathing.
- The nervous system naturally shifts from sympathetic to parasympathetic mode.
Improving nerve flow through body weight shifting
- Nerve compression often results from muscle stiffness.
- Using body weight transfer (hips and tanden movement) from Kobujutsu, nerve pathways are released.
- Effective for numbness, heaviness, and autonomic nervous system imbalance.
Releasing nerve blockages through Kuzushi
- Adapting the martial art principle of “Kuzushi” (breaking balance) to relax muscle and joint fixation.
- As a result, nerve transmission becomes smoother, improving range of motion and reflex functions.
Reading the client’s sensations (skin and nerve receptors)
- Kobujutsu is based on “reading the opponent.”
- In massage, therapists observe skin reactions (goosebumps, temperature, relaxation)
- To identify points where the nervous system can relax most deeply.
