La V Ia Dell' Arco
KyKyûûdô la via dell'arco Storia, filosofie e pratica dell'arcieria giapponese di Muzio Bobbio [ebook realizzato utilizzando quanto riportato sul sito web http://gorin.it/kyudo.htm per gentile concessione dell’autore] Indice Prologo Ringraziamenti Prefazione Introduzione PARTE I: Storia del Kyûdô: i grandi arcieri del passato e le loro scuole Periodo antico Periodo di evoluzione Periodo feudale Periodo di transizione Periodo moderno Il tiro moderno Il Kyûdô in Italia PARTE II: L'attrezzatura L'arco Le frecce Il guanto Gli altri accessori L'abbigliamento PARTE III: La pratica La pratica storica Il tiro standard moderno Alcuni particolari tecnici Tavole riassuntive APPENDICI Metodo di traslitterazione Glossario Bibliografia Kyudo di Muzio Bobbio Pag. 2 Prologo Questo testo sul kyûdô, l'esoterica arcieria giapponese, era nato alcuni anni fa, su precisa richiesta, per essere pubblicato come libro; varie vicissitudini hanno impedito per ben due volte che il progetto andasse a buon fine ed allora ho pensato di renderlo liberamente disponibile a tutto il pubblico attraverso la "grande ragnatela"; data la sua storia, il lettore non si meravigli se esso rispecchierà molto da vicino l'impostazione "cartacea" più che quella "elettronica". Ringraziamenti Per questo lavoro, più di qualche persona merita il mio ringraziamento, ma lo debbo in particolare al dott. Procesi di Roma per la revisione delle bozze e le precisazioni storiche che mi ha fornito nonché al Maestro Ichikura di Milano per la revisione della terminologia giapponese. Prefazione Kyûdô significa letteralmente "via dell'arco"; in Oriente la parola "via" non significa solamente strada nel senso di traccia da percorrere per gli spostamenti, ma anche (ed in questo caso esclusivamente) percorso dell'essere umano verso il suo miglioramento anche tecnico ma soprattutto verso la sua crescita interiore come Uomo: lo stesso ideogramma si legge Tao in cinese. -

Il peut être de différentes couleurs : noir, bleu marine ou gris foncé. Ces différentes couleurs ne correspondent pas à des grades, mais chacun choisit la couleur qu’il veut. Ce pantalon comprend cinq plis. Ceux-ci représentent les cinq éléments du TAO (principe suprême d’ordre naturel pour la religion taoïste) : l’eau, le vent, la terre, le feu et le bois. L’aïkidogi se croise devant en mettant le côté gauche sur le côté droit. Lorsque l’on croise un Japonais qui porte son kimono avec le côté droit sur le côté gauche, cela veut dire qu’il est en deuil.

One Circle Hold Harmless Agreement
Schools of Aikido This is not a definitive list of Aikido schools/sensei, but a list of teachers who have had great impact on Aikido and who you will want to read about. You can google them.

Os seus principais objetivos são fortalecer o físico, a mente e o espírito de forma integrada, para além de desenvolver técnicas de defesa pessoal. O Judô teve uma grande aceitação em todo o mundo, pois Kano Sensei conseguiu reunir a essência do jujutsu, arte marcial praticada pelos "bushi", ou cavaleiros durante o período Kamakura (1185-1333), a outras artes de luta praticadas no Oriente e fundi-las numa única e básica. O Judô foi considerado desporto oficial no Japão no final do século XIX e a polícia nipônica introduziu em seus treinos de defesa pessoal. -

One of the many gifts Aikido bestows is this wider network where you are welcome, both on and off the mat, in all parts of the world where Aikido is practiced. At first this practice looks confusing. TheJapanese terminology, the rolling, the techniques which all look similar but different at the same time, the unexpected problem of figuring out which side is right and left! But Aikido is actually quite simple (that doesn’t mean easy!) so this introductory guide is meant to give some orientation and hopefully help with the initially somewhat confusing period before one finds one’s bearings and starts to see the simplicity embedded within all the apparent complexity of Aikido practice. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Morihiro Saito Sensei 2. Takemusu Aikido 3. Aikido as Budo 4. Etiquette 4. The Dojo 5. The practice - ukemi - ritualized technical practice (kata) and free style practice (jiyu waza) - weapon training. 6. The technical structure of Aikido 7. The core techniques. 8.

Karen Knorr Monogatari Exhibition from 29Th October to 28Th November 2015
PRESS RELEASE KAREN KNORR MONOGATARI Exhibition from 29th October to 28th November 2015 The Journey, Hie Torii, Tokyo, Monogatari, 2015 17, rue des Filles-du-Calvaire 75003 Paris // 01 42 74 47 05 // [email protected] KAREN KNORR Opening on Thursday 29th October - 6 PM to 9 PM Karyukai and Monogatari / Japan Since 2012, Karen Knorr has been explo- ring and learning about Japanese heritage culture travelling to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Ise several times during different periods of the year. She continues to travel there in or- der to capture the transience of the seasons which are viewed through the structures of Akirame, Shunko-in Temple, Kyoto, temples and shrines. After the 2011 Toho- Monogatari, 2015 ko earthquake and tsunami which killed over 15000 people in Japan, Knorr felt compelled to visit Japan out of friendship and a deep feeling of sym- pathy. She has been working on two series which complement each other yet use distinct approaches:Karyukai focuses on portraiture with waka (poe- try) composed by the sitters and Monogatari places animals and people on architectural sites which serve as witnesses of an ancestral legacy that still pervades Japanese life today. Karyukai is a series of portraits of women in traditional kimono dress created in collaboration with artists, models and friends. They refer to ukiyo-e (ja- panese term meaning « pictures of the floating world ») representingbijin-ga (pictures of beauties) which are found in Japanese screens and prints. The photographs are accompanied by haikus composed by the women sitters and printed on to the surface of the portraits similar to the temple prints of poets that Karen Knorr found in the Blue Lotus temple in Kyoto. -

AWA Newsletter
AWA DEC - 2017 | ISSUE 16 AWA | PAGE 01 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Jeremy M.L. Hix, Nidan Dojo Cho-Greater Lansing Aikido; Lansing, MI USA Reflecting on this year, I am inspired by those closest to me. Their perseverance, mental, physical, and emotional fortitude, go well beyond anything short of super human. There are some battles that cannot be won. As in Aikido, there is no winner or loser, only Masakatsu Agatsu "true victory is victory over oneself." Such is the life of people with chronic pain and fatigue. Conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Chronic Fatigue, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Migraines (to name a few from a long list) are "Invisible" in the sense that they may not present outward physical manifestations of the associated symptoms. Furthermore, the individual living with the condition may also feel invisible in the sense of "self" as they are dismissed as faking their ailments. Often, this causes feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and withdrawal. I'm fortunate to have two people in my life that are very close to my heart, both battling with invisible health conditions. They are relentless in their perseverance, in their ability to overcome. They practice Aikido on crutches, in wheelchairs, and are eager to learn. They travel to Japan and explore the world. They never give up. They never acquiesce. Through understanding, compassion, empathy, and love, we can help make visible the beautiful person beneath the vale of these chronic conditions. I would like to dedicate this editorial to my better halves: Kristy, and her sister, Kayla. Thank you both for your perseverance in the face of adversity, and for giving me the privilege of being your friend along the way. -
