【古流・極真空手の研究〜No,2】
◎私が考案中の半棒術は、大山倍達先生の残したステッキ術を応用したものだ。さらに極真空手の手刀打ち（５種）の活用につなげたい（徒手と武器術の連携）。ただし、棒の使い方には袈裟がけ打ち、他の打ち方もある。また、拓心武道においては、今後さらに古流武術の理合や技を研究していき、それらの理合と技を包摂、融合していきたい。
The half stick technique that I devised is an application of the cane technique left behind by Mr. Masutatsu Oyama. Furthermore, I would like to utilize Kyokushin Karate's Shuto-Uchi(5 types) (coordination of manual and weapon techniques). However, there are other ways to use the stick, including kesagake-uchi. In addition, in Takushin Budo, I would like to further study the rationale and techniques of koryu bujutsu, and incorporate and fuse these rationales and techniques.

私が研究している半棒術は、大山倍達師範が残した、手刀技などの基本と秘伝・極真空手と続・秘伝極真空手という書籍に示された、数々の技の応用だと言っても良い。大山倍達師範は、素晴らしいものを残してくれた。私は、その贈り物を活かして使いたい。その意味は、さらに多様な武術、格闘技を研究し、それらの術理と技を、自己に包摂、融合していくことである。星雲の志を胸に秘めていた、まだ若い頃の大山倍達師範がそうであったように…。
The hanbojutsu that I am researching is an application of the many techniques shown in the books written by Masutatsu Oyama, the basics of manual techniques, secret techniques, Kyokushin Karate, and sequel, Hiden Kyokushin Karate. It's okay to say that. Shihan Masutatsu Oyama has left behind something wonderful. I want to make use of that gift. The meaning of this is to study a wide variety of martial arts and martial arts, and incorporate and integrate their principles and techniques into oneself. Just like Shihan Masutatsu Oyama when he was still young, he had Nebula's aspirations hidden in his heart...
【No,1より】
私は長年、大山倍達師範の原点に立ち戻るかのように空手修行を行ってきた。だが、人口に膾炙した極真空手を変えれば、道場生がいなくなると思い、それを伝えるのを抑えていた。
だが、私の人生も最期に近づいてきた。最期に、再び空手、否、武道に相応しい、技術と修練体系、そして武道哲学を残したいと思っている。
大山倍達師範が記されたステッキ術は大東流柔術の技である。私は、その技を取り込みながら、新たに「半棒術」として進化させたい。そのためには日本の剣術のみならず、世界中に存在する武器術や武術を研究したいと考えている。
今後は拓心武道という私の武道哲学を表す言葉とともに、道を探求したいという同志と共に武の道の深奥を訪ねる旅に出たいと思っている。（増田　章）
The publication of This is Karate was probably the catalyst for the spread of Kyokushin Karate around the world.
The Japanese version of that book is Secret Kyokushin Karate.
It is no exaggeration to say that the techniques and training system recorded in that book are completely different from current Kyokushin Karate.
The matches that many people now think of as Kyokushin Karate without face attacks were originally just one means to popularize Kyokushin Karate.
True Kyokushin Karate was the culmination of many martial arts and martial arts that Master Masutatsu Oyama studied and practiced. These techniques included not only karate techniques, but also jujutsu techniques, stick techniques, and judo techniques. There are also elements of boxing, which Shihan Masutatsu Oyama adopted when he was young.
For many years, I have been practicing karate as if returning to the origins of Master Masutatsu Oyama. However, he thought that if he changed Kyokushin Karate, which had become widespread among the population, there would be no students left in the dojo, so he refrained from telling them about it.
However, my life is nearing its end. In the end, I want to leave behind the techniques, training system, and martial arts philosophy that are appropriate for karate, or rather, martial arts.
The cane technique described by Shihan Masutatsu Oyama is a technique of Daito-ryu jujutsu. I would like to incorporate this technique and evolve it into a new “Hanbo Jutsu.'' To that end, he would like to study not only Japanese swordsmanship, but also weaponry and martial arts that exist around the world.
In the future, I would like to go on a journey to explore the depths of martial arts with comrades who want to explore the path, using the term Takushin Budo to express my martial arts philosophy.
◎本映像は秘伝極真空手の掲載されているステッキ術の基本を再現した動画である。正直、私のステッキの操作は下手である。だが、これから稽古、研究していく。そして、いずれステッキを使った護身術のみならず、ステッキや半棒を使った棒術、ステッキファイティングについてまとめたい。だが、私の足は、普段もステッキが必要なぐらい故障している。普段はステッキを使わないようにしているが、本当は両足が壊れている。特に片足が酷い。故に、武器を使った武術をマスターしなければ、戦うことはできない。
ありがたいことは、大山倍達先生は、私たち弟子に棒（短棒と半棒）を使うための土台となる、基本を残してくれた。私はその基本を応用し、年老い、壊れた身体を活かしていく。
This video is a video that reproduces the basics of the cane technique published in Hiden Kyokushin Karate. To be honest, I'm not very good at using a walking stick. However, I will continue to practice and research.
In addition, I would like to write about not only self-defense using a cane, but also stick fighting and stick fighting using a cane or half-stick.
However, my legs are so damaged that I usually need a cane. I usually try not to use a cane, but the truth is that both of my legs are broken. It's especially bad on one leg. Therefore, you cannot fight unless you master martial arts using weapons.
Thankfully, Masutatsu Oyama sensei left us the basics for using sticks (short sticks and half sticks) for our students. I will apply these basics to make the most of my old and broken body.
