Introduction. Aikido, “the way of harmony and love, containing techniques for developing balance, coordination body (joint techniques, throwing, pivot)”. It is approached at early ages, being a branch of sport much favored by children at young ages 6-10 years. This sub-branch of martial arts, due to exoticism, of how it is perceived by the little children produce emulation attracts to practice of a lots of children. On the on the one hand because of the “mysteries” that accompany this sport, on the other hand due to the instructive accompanying it. Among the many branches of martial arts, where some have the tendency more strongly to only focus on technical training, ignoring physical training, other martial arts ignore even preparing locomotor system, to practice safely this art, some even preparing musculoskeletal the practice safely this art. Current Aikido (Aikido Yoshinkan and Takemutsu) maintained in the training program and attaches the utmost importance of physical training: by approaching varied means of physical training for all age levels. Even for young children, a fact demonstrated in the pilot experiment conducted in 2012, the first program launched in Romania in the private school “Happy Kids”, today “Transylvania College, Cambridge International School-Cluj”. This article proposes practitioners a set of athletics exercises in order to strengthen speed, with its forms of expression. By practicing these means of athletic, 2-3 times a week, can obtain high values of this quality (if there is genetic determinations), while in generally, give positive results in improving the biometric qualities, but also the correction of some posts balance or even fighting techniques.

She happened to be right next to me during the warming-up at the second or third lesson. When Koho-ukemi practice started she was struggling to get up herself as is very normal for a lot of beginners. Had I not known her personally I would not have paid any attention but because she was someone I knew, I tried to encourage her with the intention of making her feel more enjoyment, feeling sorry for her dealing with the hard exercises.

  • DECEMBER 2017 Kancho’S Corner Numerous and Celebrated Milestones As the Unarmed Syllabus
    VOLUME 27 ISSUE 11 P A G E 1 VOLUME 27 ISSUE 11 THE INSTITUSHIN DECEMBER 2017 Kancho’s Corner numerous and celebrated milestones as the unarmed syllabus. Time training and ‘rank’ is rarely mentioned because it has far less meaning to practitioners in a context such as the Koryu I assume. 2017 has provided a couple of highlights for me with the opportunity to refresh my relationship with two of the eminent teachers to whom I owe so much… Inoue Sensei and Chida Sensei… legends of Aikido and Yoshinkan Aikido in particular. They were hosted respectively in Sydney by Darren Friend & Peggy Woo Sensei’s and in Melbourne by Joe Thambu Sensei and everyone who participated in the seminars owes these teachers a real debt for creating the opportunity for the rest of us. During a Osu! Q & A session Inoue Sensei was asked if he December again… and another great year of considered himself a ‘friend’ of Shioda Gozo Sensei training is drawing to a close. The official Dojo – founder of the Yoshinkan – to which he replied Breakup Party is on Sunday 10th from 11am – 2pm simply “No… he was my teacher”. This didn’t imply down at Mooloolaba, however this won’t be the there was no friendliness… just that he (Inoue final training date. This year we’ll be training up to Sensei) never presumed to be Shioda Sensei’s and including Saturday 23rd December. The final friend. It would be interesting to know how Shioda class that Saturday will be held in the park at Sensei saw their relationship… might he have Mooloolaba Spit from 7.30 to 10.30am and considered Inoue Sensei to be his friend? We can’t everyone is invited to join in whether you normally say.

  • Aikidó a Jeho Styly…
    Aikidó a jeho styly… By KI Aikido Center (http://www.ki-aikido.com/) překlad L&S (01-11-2000) Aikidó Aikidó patří mezi Japonská Budó ("Cesta Válečníka") [Japanese Budo or Japanese Martial Way], a kolem poloviny 20. století ho po mnohaletém studiu klasických Bojových Umění [classical Martial Arts] založil Ó-Sensei Morihei Uešiba [O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba], který zároveň definoval i jeho morální, etické a filozofické hodnoty. Aikidó je umění založené na principech harmonie nebo souladu, vnitřní energie ki, a účelném rozvíjení těchto principů usilovným praktikováním Aikida. Ve skutečnosti je i jméno Aikida složené z těchto principů: Ai — může být přeloženo jako harmonie nebo soulad, jednota, souhlas Ki — může být přeloženo jako vnitřní energie, vnitřní síla, mentální energie, vesmír, příroda Dó — znamená cesta, dráha, způsob života Už je vám asi jasné, že je mnoho různých překladů/výkladů významu jména Aikidó. Asi nejpoužívanější užší překlad je "Cesta Harmonie Ducha", ve smyslu "metoda nebo cesta (dó) pro harmonii nebo koordinaci (ai) vnitřní energie nebo ducha (ki)". Volný překlad by mohl být také "způsob života prostřednictvím harmonie s přírodou". V nejrannějších knihách bylo Aikidó překládáno jako "The Way of Chivalrous Spiritual Harmony". Další překlady jsou třeba: Způsob Koordinace Vnitřní Energie — pragmaticky Cesta Souladu s Podstatou Života — esotericky Jedna z hezkých věcí na tomhle dvojsmyslu (či spíše vícesmyslu :-) je, že si můžete svobodně vybrat překlad/výklad který se nejvíce líbí vašemu smyslu pro estetiku. Rozmanitost Aikida Zrovna tak jako je mnoho různých interpretací významu jména Aikidó, je také mnoho různých způsobů jeho praktikování, to vše v závislosti na individuálních sklonech, zkušenostech, a osobnostech učitelů.

  • A “Full House” on the Executive Committee
    Aikido Times July 2010 Newsletter of the British Aikido Board From the Chairman A “full house” on the Executive Committee am pleased to tell you that we now have a full complement of officers on the Executive Committee. For most of my 8 years I as your Chairman, the Executive Committee has struggled to fill the various appointments necessary to get through the work of managing, reviewing and updating the many specialist areas that comprise the guts of our raison d’etre – that is, our aim of operating as an effective National Governing Body for Aikido in a way that permits Member Associations to retain their individual autonomy over styles of practice and the grading of their individual members. However, thanks to the IT improvements that have been made by our Webmaster, we are now able to communicate by e-mail down to Club level, with the objective of eventually reaching directly to you, the individual members, with all the news from the Board. I have always known that, with almost 10,000 individual members there would be people out there with the time, energy and expertise to fulfil all the roles we require on the Executive Committee. We’ve now reached you through the The Shudokan Institute of Aikido International is holding it’s annual 4-day Summer School on Friday 30th July to Monday wonders of mass e-mail addressing and the resulting response is 2nd August. Guest instructors include: Robert Mustard a “full house” on the EC. Sensei, 7th Dan Yoshinkan and Joe Thambu Sensei, 7th Dan I should add that, without the volunteer help of our 2 Media Yoshinkan.

    Buseikan Dojo Student Handbook Kyu and Dan Techniques 2015/2016 Base Borden Yoshinkan Aikido Club Introduction Aikido is a modern martial art derived from the Samurai fighting techniques of ancient Japan. Developed during the 1920's, the technical foundations of Aikido can be traced back to Aiki-jujutsu that evolved in early Japan. Aiki-jujutsu techniques were practised by Prince Tejin, son of the Emperor Seiwa (850-880 AD), and passed on to succeeding generations of the Minamoto family. Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1968) became a recognised master of Aiki-jujutsu and several other arts. He ​ also believed in peace. In 1925, he organised a style of Aiki-jujutsu to assist his own spiritual and physical development. The result was Aikido. Aikido is not a conventional fighting art or sport. Instead, it is a martial art that develops the ability to harmonise with opposing forces rather than combat them. Because of this, many circular and spherical movements are involved in Aikido to redirect opposing forces towards a less harmful destination. In Yoshinkan Aikido, the emphasis is on the study of fundamental movements and solid basic techniques as well as gaining philosophical insight into the conduct of life and human relationships. Yoshinkan Aikido as a martial art is non-competitive and non-violent. Co-operation and harmony are more important than aggression. Timing and control are more important than strength. Ueshiba Sensei’s top student was Gozo Shioda (1915-1994). In 1955, after receiving 9th Dan, Gozo ​ ​ Shioda Sensei formed the Aikido Yoshinkan Foundation. Shioda Sensei's style of Aikido is known as Yoshinkan, a name that he inherited from his father.
