    TAKEMUSU AIKIDO COMPENDIUM TRADITIONALAIKIDO.EU TAKEMUSU AIKIDO COMPENDIUM. 1 Welcome to the dojo! You have also inadvertently just joined a world -wide fellowship of aikidoka’s practicing this art. 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. Terminology for naming techniques in Japanese 9. The ranks and the grading syllabus. 9. Guidelines for training in the Dojo. 10. Appendix 1: glossary of japanese terms 13. Appendix 2: ken and jo basic suburi 14. Appendix 3: recommended resources Morihiro Saito Sensei 9th Dan. 2 The style or line of Aikido that is taught in this school is known as Takemusu Aikido and is a traditional form of Aikido that was passed on from O Sensei (Morihei Ueshiba, 1883 - 1969, the Founder of Aikido) to the late Morihiro Saito Sensei (1928 -2002).

  • Yoshimitsu Yamada Est Né Le 1È Février 1938
    Yoshimitsu Yamada est né le 1è février 1938. Il est actuellement 8è Dan Shihan. Son père est le cousin de Tadashi Abe ; c’est grâce à ce dernier que Yamada Senseï débute l’Aïkido. Uchi Deshi de Morihei Ueshiba depuis 1955 et pendant près de dix ans, Yamada Senseï se distingue par sa maîtrise de l’anglais qui le prédispose à enseigner l’Aïkido aux soldats américains. C’est tout naturellement qu’on l’envoie à New York en 1964, afin devenir professeur à l’Aïkikaï de New York. Il est reconnu pour sa pédagogie solide et claire des techniques de base. Il dirige des stages à travers le monde entier (France, Allemagne, Russie, Amérique…). Il est également à la tête de la Fédération américaine d’Aïkido, ainsi que la Fédération d’Amérique Latine. Yamada Senseï a édité de nombreux DVD pédagogiques. Beaucoup de ses élèves ont une réputation solide, et sont actuellement 7è Dan Yoshimitsu YAMADA est né le 17 février 1938 à Tokyo. Le jeune Yoshimitsu est originaire d'une famille proche de Maître UESHIBA. En effet, à la mort de ses parents, son père Ichiro YAMADA, a été adopté par la famille de Tadashi ABE, élève du fondateur. Cousins, les jeunes Ichiro et Tadashi sont élevés comme des frères. C’est à l’occasion d’une démonstration du fondateur, au sein de la famille, que le jeune Yoshimitsu découvre l’Aïkido. C’est encore un enfant mais il est déjà très attiré par la pratique du Maître. La situation préoccupante du Japon pendant la guerre, pousse les deux familles à émigrer en Corée pendant les années quarante.

  • 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.

    JEAN-NOËL BLANCHETTE, M.A. Le syndrome perroquet Explorations critiques de la dimension spirituelle des arts martiaux japonais dans la culture francophone occidentale Thèse présentée à l'Université Laval comme exigence partielle du doctorat en théologie offert à l'Université de Sherbrooke en vertu d'un protocole d'entente avec l'Université Laval pour l'obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (PH.D.) FACULTÉ DE THÉOLOGIE, D'ÉTHIQUE ET DE PHILOSOPHIE UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKE Octobre 2003 © Jean-Noël Blanchette, 2003 RÉSUMÉ Les arts martiaux japonais proposent différentes approches dont l’une vise le développement spirituel de l’être. Or, en s’acculturant, cette vision originale des arts martiaux n’aurait-elle pas dû s’ouvrir à d’autres horizons spirituels, tel le christianisme, par exemple? Ce n’est malheureusement pas le cas. Dans la culture francophone occidentale, l’approche spirituelle repose sur un rapport exclusif entre l’art martial et la tradition religieuse japonaise, dont le zen. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’amorcer une réflexion critique sur ce type de rapport exclusif. Pour atteindre cet objectif, après avoir exploré certaines avenues, nous avons choisi de référer à un exemple représentatif: Roland Habersetzer. Auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur les arts martiaux, Habersetzer se distingue plus particulièrement dans le domaine du karaté, où il est passé maître. Dans l’un de ses ouvrages, il oriente le discours spirituel du karaté dans un rapport exclusif avec le bouddhisme zen. Nous contestons la thèse d’Habersetzer en nous appuyant sur une relecture de la dimension spirituelle des arts martiaux japonais. À cet effet, nous avons postulé que la dimension spirituelle des arts martiaux est une création culturelle, l’aboutissement d’une tension dynamique entre deux pôles de la culture japonaise: le profane et le sacré.

  • Lisp, Jazz, Aikido Three Expressions of a Single Essence
    Lisp, Jazz, Aikido Three Expressions of a Single Essence Didier Vernaa a EPITA Research and Development Laboratory Abstract The relation between Science (what we can explain) and Art (what we can’t) has long been acknowledged and while every science contains an artistic part, every art form also needs a bit of science. Among all scientific disciplines, programming holds a special place for two reasons. First, the artistic part is not only undeniable but also essential. Second, and much like in a purely artistic discipline, the act of programming is driven partly by the notion of aesthetics: the pleasure we have in creating beautiful things. Even though the importance of aesthetics in the act of programming is now unquestioned, more could still be written on the subject. The field called “psychology of programming” focuses on the cognitive aspects ofthe activity, with the goal of improving the productivity of programmers. While many scientists have emphasized their concern for aesthetics and the impact it has on their activity, few computer scientists have actually written about their thought process while programming. What makes us like or dislike such and such language or paradigm? Why do we shape our programs the way we do? By answering these questions from the angle of aesthetics, we may be able to shed some new light on the art of programming. Starting from the assumption that aesthetics is an inherently transversal dimension, it should be possible for every programmer to find the same aesthetic driving force in every creative activity they undertake, not just programming, and in doing so, get deeper insight on why and how they do things the way they do.
