024力の主　鍛　たん Lord of Strength

　「今回の力の主は漫画なんかじゃよくあるけどこれ効果あるの？

と思われがたちな四つ鍛錬について論じよう

まずは

一つ

滝行

冷たい滝に打たれひたすらに念仏を唱えるこれが滝行だ

普通の人の意見なら確かな精神力は高められるが武術としての鍛錬としてはどんな効果があるかわかるものは少ないだろう

だがこれは確かに武術の鍛錬として効果はある

そう聞くと混乱するかもしけれないが少し読めばわかる話といっておこう

そもそも滝行で感じられ物はひたすらなる冷たさとかだがた震える体での念仏

念仏はその有無で意識を失っていないかの危険防止なので唱えるのは何でもいい

アニメもゲームでもアイドルでも歌でも何でもいい

大事なのは感じる滝の水の冷たさだ

何故そんな冷たさという苦痛しか与えないよう思えるものが大事なのか

そもそもの話滝行は冷たさという苦痛こそが目的なのだ

戦いとなればいつかは傷ついても戦わねばならないその際重要なのは苦痛への耐性その有無次第で戦える時間もつかえる力も大きく変わってしまう

そのため戦いにおいては苦痛への耐性は必須といえる

ここまでくれば何人かは感づいたかもしれないが滝行とは苦痛の耐性の会得にはもってこいなのだ

まず冷たい苦痛が続くのに上から落ちる滝の水の感触は一つとして同じものはなく苦痛は単調なようで変化に富んでいる

それに肉体を傷つけず安全に長期間苦痛への耐性を得るための鍛錬ができる

多少の怪我ならあの長時間の滝行よりはとなることもうなずける

二つ

丸太運び

何本かに縛った丸太をもちあげ担ぎ一定距離歩く

そう聞くと普通のトレーニングマシーンで重りでもあげればいいのでは？

と現代人なら思うかしれないがはっきり言ってトレーニングマシーンでは武術用にはなれない

何故何本かに縛った丸太丸太をもちあげ担ぎ一定距離歩くなんていう効率度外視の鍛錬のほうが効くのか

それは鍛錬に使うものと道に関係している

まず

何本かに縛った丸太をもちあげ担ぐそして歩く

そのためには丸太の中心近くを持ち上げなくては安定せず道の石ころ一つでバランスを崩す可能性ある繊細な力加減とバランスを保たないといけない

こんなことはトレーニングマシーンでは不可能

丸太を担ぎ歩くことは強い力を出しつつ臨機応変にバランスを保つ体幹とバランス感覚を得ることができるのだ

強い力を出しつつ臨機応変にバランスを保つ体幹とバランス感覚を得ることは戦いにおいて体の芯を安定させる戦いが可能とさえなりうる

三つ

大岩転がし

丸い大岩を一定距離押して転がして運ぶ鍛錬

そう聞くと普通に奇麗な球の鉄でいいのでは屋うかしれないが奇麗な球でないから意味がある

まず大岩を押して転がすには全身か力を放ち途切れないように維持していかなくてはいけない

しかも奇麗な球ではないので地面の小石や岩や傾斜によって使う力も変わってくる

そんな変化に臨機応変に態様しつつ押す力を弱めない

これができなくてはまともに動かすことすらできないだろう

その結果何が得られるのかそれは戦いの渦中の全力を維持しつつの臨機応変の力加減

戦いは常に全力で戦えばいいわけではない

例えば全力の攻撃がかわされたとしてそのまま攻撃を続けるのは自殺行為になことすらある

外したなら即座に対応する全力で攻撃しながらの臨機応変な切り替えこの力をこの鍛錬で獲られる可能性あるのだ

四つ

大岩を刀で切る

これはたまに剣術のもの作品で免許皆伝の証となる最終鍛錬だ

さてそんなことは実際に可能なのか？

結論から言えば理論的には可能宮本武蔵が刀を一回振り下ろし岩を割ったとう一刀岩の話が有名だ

さてそんな奇跡どうやった達成するのか

当然そんな鍛錬を試みれば刀の刃はこぼれどんどん切れ味が落ちる

そんな中で刀を一振りで大岩を割る

そのために必要なのは力のロスのない統一だ

力のロスのないように振りおろし垂直な刀の角度にまっすぐな力の入りと当たる岩の角度

その三つのが満たされたとき理論上大岩を刀で割ることができる

当然現実でやれは綺麗に両断たとはいかないだろうがきることはできるだろう

当然これは理論上なので現実的な話ではない

だが少しで切れれば相当な力を得たといって過言ではない

そしてこの鍛錬で獲られる力は相手への力のロスの少ない高威力の斬撃

さてこれで漫画や創作の鍛錬も中々理屈にかなっているとわかってくれたかと思う

当然理屈が間違っている鍛錬も多く存在するが少なくとのこの四つを軽んじる者はいないだろう」

　「今回はこれにて終わりにする」

そしてこれから先は内容は同じ海外向けの英訳となる

024 Lord of Strength

"This time, the Lord of Strength is often seen in manga, but does it really work?" Let's discuss the four types of training that are often thought of. First of all, one of them is waterfall training. You are hit by a cold waterfall and chant your prayers. This is waterfall training. In the opinion of ordinary people, it definitely improves mental strength, but few people know what effect it has as martial arts training. However, this is certainly effective as martial arts training. This may confuse you, but let me say that it is a story that you will understand if you read it a little. In the first place, what you feel in waterfall training is just the coldness and the chanting of the prayer with a trembling body. The presence or absence of the prayer is a danger of losing consciousness, so it doesn't matter what you chant. It can be anime, games, idols, songs, anything. The important thing is the coldness of the waterfall water that you feel. Why is something that seems to only give you the pain of cold so important? First of all, waterfall training The pain of cold is the purpose. In a fight, you have to fight even if you get hurt. The important thing is to have resistance to pain. The time you can fight and the strength you can use will change greatly depending on whether you have it or not. Therefore, resistance to pain is essential in a fight. Some of you may have guessed by now that waterfall training is a great way to acquire pain resistance. First of all, the cold pain continues, but the feeling of the water falling from the waterfall is not the same, and the pain seems monotonous but is full of variety. Also, it allows you to train to safely gain resistance to pain for a long period of time without hurting your body. It is understandable that a minor injury would be better than that long waterfall training. 2. Log carrying. Lift and carry several logs tied to each other and walk a certain distance. When you hear that, modern people may think that it would be fine to just lift weights on a normal training machine, but frankly speaking, training is not a good idea. A training machine cannot be used for martial arts.

Why is training that ignores efficiency, such as lifting and carrying a log tied to several pieces and walking a certain distance more effective?

It has to do with the things used for training and the road.

First,

Lift and carry a log tied to several pieces and then walk.

To do this, you need to lift the log near the center, otherwise it will not be stable and a single stone on the road could cause you to lose your balance, so you need to maintain a delicate balance and force.

This is impossible with a training machine.

Carrying a log while walking allows you to acquire a core and sense of balance that allows you to exert strong strength while maintaining your balance flexibly.

Acquiring a core and sense of balance that allows you to exert strong strength while maintaining your balance flexibly can even make it possible to fight with a stable core.

Third,

Rolling a large rock.

Training to push and roll a large round rock a certain distance.

When you hear that, you may think that a normal, beautiful iron ball would be fine. It may be, but it's not a pretty ball, so it has meaning.

First of all, to push and roll a big rock, you have to release your whole body's strength and maintain it without interruption.

Moreover, since it's not a pretty ball, the force you use will change depending on the pebbles, rocks, and slope of the ground.

You have to adapt to such changes without weakening your pushing force. If you can't do this, you won't be able to move it properly.

What you gain as a result is the ability to adapt your strength while maintaining your full strength in the midst of a battle.

Fighting doesn't always mean fighting at full strength. For example, if a full-power attack is dodged, continuing to attack as is can be suicidal.

If you miss, you can immediately respond by attacking with full strength and switching to a flexible position. This is the power that can be acquired through this training.

Fourth: Cutting a big rock with a sword.

This is sometimes the final training in swordsmanship works that proves that you have mastered the art.

So, is that actually possible? In conclusion, it is theoretically possible. There is a famous story about Miyamoto Musashi swinging his sword down once and splitting a rock. So how did he achieve such a miracle? Of course, if you try to train like that, the blade of the sword will chip and its sharpness will gradually decrease. In that case, splitting a large rock with one swing of the sword is necessary. What is needed is consistency without loss of force. The sword must be swung down so that there is no loss of force, the sword must be at a vertical angle, the force must be applied straight, and the angle of the rock it hits must be at is the same. When these three conditions are met, then theoretically it is possible to split a large rock with a sword. Of course, if you try it in reality, it will be neatly cut in half. It probably won't work, but it should be possible.

Obviously, this is theoretical, so it's not realistic.

But if it cuts through with a little effort, it's no exaggeration to say that you've gained considerable power.

And the power gained from this training is a high-powered slash that doesn't lose much power to the opponent.

Now, I think you understand that the training in manga and creative writing is quite logical.

Of course, there are many trainings that are flawed in logic, but at least no one would look down on these four.
