Keskeisiä tarkastelun kohteita ovat lajin saapuminen Suomeen, organisoituminen, leviäminen, koulutustoiminnan kehittyminen sekä japanilaisten aikido-opettajien merkitys. Tutkielman tärkeimpänä aspektina on aikidon integroituminen suomalaiseen liikuntakulttuuriin. Tutkielma on luonteeltaan kvalitatiivinen, mutta aika ajoin käytetään tukena myös tilastollisia menetelmiä. Tutkielman tärkeimpiä lähteitä ovat Suomen Aikidoliiton toimintakertomukset sekä Aikido-lehdet. Tutkimuskirjallisuutena käytetään paljolti liikuntakulttuuria käsitteleviä teoksia. Lähteinä on lisäksi haastatteluja, budolajeja käsitteleviä opinnäytetöitä, japanilaista kulttuuria käsittelevää kirjallisuutta sekä yleistä budokirjallisuutta. Aikidon leviäminen jaettiin viiteen kauteen, ja leviämisessä hahmoteltiin neljä eri kanavaa. Keskeinen vaihe aikidotoiminnan kasvussa oli 1970-luvun loppupuoli, jolloin toimintaa elvytettiin useilla toimenpiteillä. 1980-luvulla lajin suosio kasvoi selvästi, ja kasvu jatkui läpi 1990-luvun. Suosion kasvuun vaikuttivat lajitoimijoiden lisäksi yhteiskunnalliset arvomuutokset, jotka edesauttoivat ei-kilpailullisten lajien kasvua. Aikido sai virallisen tunnustuksen Aikidoliiton päästessä Suomen Valtakunnan Urheiluliiton jäseneksi. Suomalainen aikido alkoi kehittyä itsenäiseen suuntaan lajin pohjoismaisen pääopettajan Toshikazu Ichimuran muutettua takaisin kotimaahansa vuonna 1986. Aikido-kuva julkisuudessa ja tavallisten ihmisten silmissä muovautui aluksi kirjavaksi, mutta tasoittui myöhemmin. Ennakkoluuloja vauhditti heikko tietous budolajeista. Kilpailemattomuus hidasti aikidon suosion kasvua, mutta pysyminen kilpaurheilun ulkopuolella säilytti lajin sisällä monia perinteisiä budon arvoja ja periaatteita. Aikido nivoutui suomalaiseen liikuntakulttuuriin kuntourheiluna, elämäntapana sekä vaihtoehtoliikuntana. Budolajina aikido antoi myös itsepuolustusvalmiuksia. Aikido muodosti uudenlaisen liikuntamallin eräänlaisena yksilö- ja ryhmäkeskeisen harrastuksen fuusiona. Länsimaiselle ihmiskäsitykselle tyypilliset vapaus ja yksilöllisyys antoivat vaikutuksensa myös budolajeihin. Aikidon akkulturaatiossa lajin itämaisuus vähentyi. Akkulturaation vaikutukset edesauttoivat myös lajin urheilullistumista, sillä fyysiset puolet alkoivat tulla henkisiä tärkeämmiksi. Muuhun Eurooppaan nähden erityispiirteenä suomalaisessa aikidossa oli yhtenäisyys, joka säilyi lähes täysin eheänä siitä asti, kun laji rantautui Suomeen. Aikidon kulttuurifuusio näkyi siinä, että aikidotoimintaa ryhdyttiin toteuttamaan seuroissa, eikä japanilaiselle budokulttuurille tyypillisen tyylisuunta-ajattelun mukaisesti. Aikidoseurojen sitoutumisen aste määrittyi suomalaisille liikuntaseuroille tyypillisen vapaaehtoisen sosialisaation kautta, eikä japanilaismallisen pakollisen vapaaehtoisuuden mukaisesti.

It consists of pinning and throwing techniques, practiced against grabbing and striking attacks. All aikido techniques are defensive in nature and there are no matches in aikido, nor any other kind of competition. Practice is done by taking turns defending against attacks, in the strife to master the curriculum. The techniques are also applied against armed attacks: knife, sword and staff. In practice, wooden replicas of those weapons are used. The throwing and pinning techniques of aikido use the power and direction of the attack, instead of any blocking or resistance. The attack is avoided by initial evasive steps and the force of the attack is redirected into the aikido techniques.

  • AIKIDO Vol. I Biografii & Interviuri
    AIKIDO Vol. I Biografii & Interviuri 1 Această carte este editată de CS Marubashi & www.aikido-jurnal.ro. Nu este de vânzare 2 Morihei Ueshiba 14 Decembrie 1883 – 26 Aprilie 1969 Privind viața acestuia din toate direcțiile, se poate spune că Fondatorul a trăit ca un adevărat samurai din străvechea și tradiționala Japonie. El a întruchipat starea de unitate cu forțele cosmosului, reprezentând ideea spirituală a artelor marțiale de-a lungul istoriei japoneze. Pe 14 decembrie 1883, în orașul Tanabe din districtul Kii (în prezent prefectura Wakayama), Japonia, s-a născut Morihei Ueshiba, al 4-lea copil al lui Yoroku și Yuki Ueshiba. Morihei a moștenit de la tatăl său determinarea și interesul pentru treburile publice, iar de la mama sa înclinația pentru religie, poezie și artă. Începutul vieții sale a fost umbrit de boli. La vârsta de 7 ani a fost trimis la Rizoderma (o școală particulară a sectei budiste Shingon) să studieze clasicii chinezi și scripturile budiste, dar a fost mai fascinat de poveștile miraculoase despre sfinții En no Gyoja și Kobo Daishi. De asemenea, a avut un extraordinar interes față de meditațiile, incantațiile și rugăciunile acestei secte esoterice. Îngrijorat că tânărul Morihei se supraîncărca mental în căutările sale, tatăl său - un om puternic și viguros - l-a încurajat să-și disciplineze și întărească corpul prin practicarea luptelor sumo precum și a înotului. Morihei a realizat necesitatea unui corp puternic după ce tatăl său a fost atacat într-o seară de o bandă angajată de un politician rival. ................................................................................. 3 Pe 26 aprilie 1969, Marele Maestru și-a terminat viața pământească, întorcându-se la Sursa.

  • Kōdōkan Jūdō's Three Orphaned Forms of Counter Techniques
    REVIEW ARTICLE Kōdōkan Jūdō’s Three Orphaned Forms of Counter Techniques – Part 1: The Gonosen-no-kata – “Forms of Post-Attack Initiative Counter Throws” Carl De CréeABDE Authors’ Contribution: Department of Languages and Cultures, Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Ghent University, Belgium A Study Design B Data Collection Source of support: private resources C Statistical Analysis D Manuscript Preparation E Funds Collection Received: 30 October 2014; Accepted: 26 March 2015; Published online: 23 April 2015 ICID: 1151330 Abstract Background & Study Aim. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive study ofgonosen-no-kata [“Forms of Post- Attack Initiative Counter Throws”], a non-officially accepted kata of Kōdōkan jūdō made popular in Western Europe by Kawaishi Mikinosuke (1899-1969). Material & Methods. To achieve this we apply historical methods and source criticism to offer a careful critical analysis of the ori- gin, history and background of this kata. Results. The first verifiable appearance of gonosen-no-kata is in 1926 at the occasion of the London Budōkwai’s 9th Annual Display, where it was publicly demonstrated by Ishiguro Keishichi (1897-1974), previously at Waseda University and since 1924 living in Paris. Thekata builds on intellectual material conceived by Takahashi Kazuyoshi. A 1932 program brochure of an Oxford University Judo Club event is the oldest known source to link Kawaishi and gonosen-no-kata. Kawaishi considered gonosen-no-kata as the third randori-no-kata. Kawaishi’s major role in spreading jūdō in France and continental Europe between 1935 and 1965, and the publication of his seminal jūdō kata book in 1956, connected his name to this kata forever.
