| Summary: | <em>Kumi-uchi</em>, literally "grasp and strike", is a traditional Japanese fighting art mainly based on non-armed techniques. As such, <em>kumi-uchi</em> is consider to have emerged as a complement to the main samurai martial arts, so as to face those difficult situations in which the samurai lost his most powerful weapons. This paper studies the art of <em>kumi-uchi</em> from the Kaze no Ryu school standpoint. The meaning and extension of <em>kumi-uchi</em>, its main aspects, types, dimension and evolution are analyzed. Similarly, we place <em>kumi-uchi</em> into the Kaze no Ryu martial curriculum and reflect on its importance in martial artists' education. |
