Theme

The theme of the Taikai with Shiraishi-sensei will be "Mutō Dori Taijutsu: Creating Unseen Movements".

In Japanese, the theme is 無刀捕体術：見えない動きの作る方法.

This highest form of taijutsu is what Hatsumi-sensei was teaching and spoke often about prior to his retirement in 2020.

To those who frequently attend Sensei's classes, you will also be familiar with his speaking of moving in ways that the opponent can't see or read. This translates to balance being broken without the opponent realizing it, strikes coming from angles and places that cannot be anticipated, and many other aspects.
