SHUCHU-RYOKU
FOCUSED POWER
The power that is developed by unifying the whole body
When we use physical strength, we normally assume we are dependent on the power of our muscles. In aikido, however, the power of the hips, legs, knees, abdomen, and so forth, are joined together and are then focused into one point, whether it is the arm or the shoulder or the elbow, and in that way the power we develop is greater than the power of the muscles alone. This is called shuchu-ryoku, or focused power.
If the body as a whole moves in an unfocused way, this sort of power cannot be developed. By using shuchu-ryoku, all of the power that is brought together from the whole body can be sent out through one point. If one part is too quick, or is late, it will not work. If the whole body is integrated as it moves, its power will be the power of the focused center line concentrated into one point. To put it another way, shuchu-ryoku is chushin-ryoku at its extreme.
In order to develop shuchu-ryoku, it is important not to depend on the strength of the upper body. If you do use that strength, the flow of energy will be stopped and you will not be able to transmit shuchu-ryoku. Therefore, in developing concentrated power, it is important to ensure that your body is in a relaxed mode.
In aikido techniques, it is entirely through this concentrated power that the power of the techniques is developed. The purpose of training in basic techniques is to establish in the body the ability to produce shuchu-ryoku.
The “trick” to concentrated power is in the big toe. When we fix the big toe to the floor, power comes into the hips. To that power you can then add the acceleration of the “spring” action of the knee. If these movements are all done together, a very powerful force is developed. Because of this, developing the big toes through, for example, kneeling techniques are very important.
One example of shuchu-ryoku. Even using just the index finger, by concentrating your energy you can produce a large amount of power.
集中力
統一整個身體而發展出來的力量
當我們使用身體的力量時，通常都認定要依靠肌肉的力量。然而在合氣道裡，腰部，腿部，膝蓋，腹部等等的力量，全都連結在一起，然後集中到一點，無論是手臂或肩膀或肘部，用這種方式發展出來的力量，遠比單獨靠肌肉的力量來的大。這種力量就是shuchu-ryoku ，或稱做集中力。
如果整個身體的移動是分散不集中的，那麼就沒辦法發展出這種集中力量。藉著使用集中力，讓整個身體一起匯集的力量，可以透過一個點發送出來。如果其中一個部分太快，或太晚，那就起不了作用。當身體移動時，如果可以全身結合成一體，它所施展出來的力量將會是集中在中心線所匯集成一點的力量。換句話說，集中力是中心線力量的極致表現。
為了發展集中力，很重要的一點是：不要依靠上半身的力量。如果你使用這種力量，力的流動將被中斷而無法傳送集中力。因此，為了發展這種集中專注的力量，重要的是要確保你的身體是在一個放鬆的狀態。
在合氣道的技法裡，它完全是透過這種集中的力量來施展技法。基本技法訓練的目的，就是要讓身體擁有產生集中力的能力。
這種集中力量的“訣竅”就在腳的大拇趾。當我們的腳拇趾往地面沉入固定時，力就會進入腰臀。To that power you can then add the acceleration of the “spring” action of the knee.
如果這些動作全部都一起作，就會產生一股非常強大的力量。正因為如此，我們要使大拇趾徹底發達，譬如說，跪技就非常的重要。
舉例說明集中力─即使只使用一根食指，藉集中你全身的力依然可以產生一股極大的力量。
有一句我實在不知該如何譯，總覺得不貼切，還請各位道友分享一下你們的看法。
