I've studied and practiced both namba and feldenkrais...you're right that both are a very small part of walking. The article above is okay but the clip don't go hand in hand with the article.

Before you get off on paranoid track, I've a new blogger identity, because google forced it on me to comment instead of allowing me the use of my old youtube account. <br /><br />The fact remains, in terms of walking, you didn't really illustrate anything. A better title would have been "Footwork in Budo Taijutsu". <br /><br />but then apparently everything but what you advocate is "a small part of walking" even though you really haven't demonstrated anything but your typical technical footwork (while in between walking from point a to b fairly obviously off balance and sloppy). kbs1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/06310906855994647406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648987284969270841.post-15984212855837904082013-11-01T18:04:19.868-04:002013-11-01T18:04:19.868-04:00Yes...Namba isn't walking...just shows you how...Yes...Namba isn't walking...just shows you how to coordinate your arms and legs together as one unit especially when you're executing techniques. Namba is a small part of walking. Feldenkrais system is a better route to go than namba.<br /><br />Maybe you should make a video clip on walking in terms of your criticism about the walking I demonstrated. I demonstrated it quite clearly. If you don't know how to walk naturally in terms of combat than your comment alone indicate you have no clue about natural walking. <br /><br />Btw...hiding behind a new blogger name to make your criticism isn't helping your point. <br /><br />Make a natural walking video providing you understand what I was teaching on the clips and demonstrate walking in combat whether your doing locks,throws,punches as I've shown quite clearly with walking. If you can't do it and/or make another wise comment....then we all know you're just all talk and your support would be good.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875860085239833066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648987284969270841.post-68309307091697879442013-11-01T17:19:20.124-04:002013-11-01T17:19:20.124-04:00and then this is rather interesting in terms of op...and then this is rather interesting in terms of optimal walking methods in martial arts and in the culture...<br /><br />"Some scholars here argue that from ancient times until perhaps 150 years ago, virtually all Japanese learned to walk in a special style called the namba, in which the right arm and leg swing forward at the same time, and then the left arm and leg swing forward."<br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/18/weekinreview/walk-this-way-or-how-the-japanese-kept-in-step.html" rel="nofollow">Walk This Way, or How the Japanese Kept in Step</a>kbs1138https://www.blogger.com/profile/06310906855994647406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648987284969270841.post-11482298112514974312013-11-01T17:10:27.800-04:002013-11-01T17:10:27.800-04:00In the video from the Show Me state post, I didn&#...In the video from the Show Me state post, I didn't see much show me, just a brief description of "natual walking" whatever that's supposed to be and just stepping during technique that varied quite a bit and calling it "just walking" ... not an actual demonstration of walking. The Japanese have some very clearly defined methods of optimal walking including the two mentioned by Peter. They are not the only ones that think there are betters ways than "just walking" which is usually some form of heel to toe movement. <br /><br />"That’s because walking isn’t just walking.

Anyways, their way isn't wrong...it's a very small part from walking. I've done the lowering of weight at the very moment of execution (whether it be weapon or natural body weapons) at a phase of my training...a vast sea full amount never leave that phase. I've fortunately transformed to natural walking where everyone should be. It's obvious that no one really knows the true power of natural walking. When you step..from a natural walking...your weight is already in motion..especially when you naturally step down from normal walking is all you need. If this hasn't sunk in, then you're not open to this possibility to the next great plateau. I may someday write about walking but for now my clips will speak for themselves.

I prefer optimal movement, which is never natural. Neither suriashi nor ayumiashi are natural in their applications in budo. They lower the hips and help connect one to the ground, making you more stable and powerful.The Budo Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17829768452637120001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648987284969270841.post-85388509383550141862013-11-01T12:03:14.249-04:002013-11-01T12:03:14.249-04:00Walking is total body weight in motion with no int...Walking is total body weight in motion with no interruptions if one looks closely at the clip it is good posture stepping, but that is all it is.

I haven't seen your video of your definition of walking and breathing in action in regard to martial arts. I've been training in the martial arts for 30 years. Walking is in essence the simplest and misunderstood part of human movement in relation to martial arts, which are one and the same instead of posture stepping or doing some kind of special stepping and sliding method.
