Many of these concepts are intertwined “Fundamental Theorems” from with one another.

While these are related in the obvious sense that they are both ways F(b) − F(a), d/dx F(x) = f(x)] to hit a target their relation is much deeper than this. which relates two seemingly unre- The intent is to show how many common concepts in kendo can be generalized from lated concepts. their “beginner” definitions to ones which give rise to a much wider scope and attempt to broaden our understanding of these concepts. The result of this generalization will be to show how shikake and oji waza are related to one another so deeply that they can, in fact, be considered the same thing. Through this relation, a simplification of kendo appears. Basic Definitions: The following are basic definitions for the various notions discussed throughout. These basic definitions will be built upon in the following sections: Suki, “(1) Gap, space, (2) Break, interval, (3) Chink (in one’s armor), chance, opportunity” In kendo, suki is used to refer to an opening in the opponent’s (or your own) defenses.

The dojo project was lead by Sensei Betty Gormley and Gen- eral Contractor, Gordon Deane. The building is owned by Kancho Robertson and Sensei Gormley who took possession New Honbu Dojo main floor. A Kumite ring has been added in in August, 2004. Gord’s work crew (Spud; Matt; Keith; Jeff) red hardwood for members to practice their competition skills and the dojo volunteers (dozens!!) pitched in to make the space something we are all proud of. Special thanks to the dozens of dojo volunteers who devoted their XMAS-New Year’s break to get the dojo up and run- ning for our January 1st launch. Dojo members also generously donated the fridge; stove; dishwasher; microwave; coffee maker and kettle. Academy parents now get to have a coffee and read the paper while their kids train. The main dojo floor was constructed with special rubber ‘pucks’ (placed one foot apart) to give the floor a special ‘bounce’ while training. The locker rooms feature separate washrooms, showers, sinks, cubbies and (shortly) lockers.

    VALLEY AIKID MEMBERS GUIDE By: Julia Freedgood Design: Liz Greene Photography and concept: Special Thanks to Shannon Brishols, WHAT IS AIKIDO? RL Sarafon, Skip Chapman Sensei and the Greater Aikido Community Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art practiced for self development and defense. The word Aikido means “the way of harmony with ki.” Ki is hard to translate, but can be understood as breath power, spirit or universal life force. Morihei Ueshiba, or O-Sensei (great teacher) created Aikido in the early 1940s. A master of several classical Japanese martial arts (budo) including judo, kendo and jujitsu, O-Sensei developed Aikido to respond to the modern world. According to his son, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Aikido is orthodox because it inherits the spiritual and martial tradition of ancient Japan .

Instead, the path of Aikido leads to “victory over self” and is realized in the quest for self perfection of body, mind and spirit. Thus, unlike martial sports, Aikido avoids competition and VALLEY AIKIDO does not allow tournaments. Instead, it stresses collaborative practice allowing all students to pursue their individual Valley Aikido was founded by Paul Sylvain, shihan in 1985 to potential in an atmosphere of shared knowledge.

  • Grading Advice
    British Aikido Federation Technical Director, Minoru Kanetsuka 7th Dan, Aikikai Foundation, Tokyo IMPORTANT ELEMENTS FOR GRADING 1. Knowledge of technique 5. Maai & Zanshin 2. Contact (Ki) 6. Ukemi 3. Posture 7. Spirit 4. Flow & Flexibility 8. Manner and Attitude Candidates for kyu grades, below Ikkyu, should complete BAF Form 1(Application for Kyu Grade Examination) and Form 2 (Grading Result Form) Candidates for Ikkyu and all Yudansha grades should complete Form 1A (part 1) (Application for Ikkyu / Yudansha Examination), Form 1A (part 2) (Instructors Comments) and Form 2 (Grading Result Form). 1. Knowledge of technique. The candidate should show full understanding of the techniques specifically required for the grade being taken, as prescribed by the grading syllabus. They should, however, also be prepared to demonstrate techniques and understanding outside the range of the grading syllabus if required (e.g. if particular emphasis has been made during a class at Summer School). It is advisable to study the contents of the Teaching Syllabus as well as the Grading Syllabus. Yudansha should have full knowledge of all aspects of Aikido relevant to their grade (e.g. multiple attacks, weapons, jiyuwaza, etc.) 2. Contact (Ki.) (also called Kokyu Ryoku) is the natural power that can be produced when body and consciousness (mind) are unified. In the higher state of Aikido, kokyu ryoku is understood as spiritual energy that transforms into physical energy. Certain techniques of breathing also stimulate this process of transformation, (kokyu: breath ryoku: power). In Aikido, training to cultivate or to discover this kokyu ryoku is especially important because its discovery is necessary for the realisation of the potential that every person has within his or her consciousness.
