É uma luta de estilo gracioso, cuja finalidade é a harmonia entre os seres humanos. Foi criada pelo grande mestre Morihei Ueshiba, perito em jiu-jitsu antigo e esgrima japonesa, e que alcançou o mais alto nível de maestria nas artes marciais clássicas. Embora o Aikido seja uma inovação relativamente recente no mundo das artes marciais, ele é herdeiro de uma rica tradição cultural e filosófica. Antes de criar o Aikido, Ueshiba adquiriu proficiência em várias modalidades de jiu- jitsu, lutas de espada e de lança. Dedicou-se também ao estudo religioso e desenvolveu uma ideologia devotada à harmonia sociopolítica universal. Incorporando esses Santos e Tibery, princípios em sua arte marcial, Ueshiba 312 Norte - Brasília desenvolveu muitos aspectos do Aikido sob a - 1979 - inspiração de sua orientação filosófica e religiosa. Quando da transformação do que originalmente denominava-se Aikijujitsu para o que modernamente é chamado de Aikido, houve a mudança de uma prática encerrada em si mesma para uma prática com uma direção clara e universal, que cada um nela poderia se engajar. Segundo o Fundador, a meta do Aikido não é a derrota dos outros, e sim a derrota das características negativas que habitam as mentes das pessoas, inibindo sua plenitude. Devido a esse aspecto, não há no Aikido torneios, competições, provas ou "sparring". Ao contrário, todas as suas técnicas são aprendidas cooperativamente, em ritmo adequado às habilidades de cada um. Ao mesmo tempo, seu potencial para a autodefesa não pode ser ignorado. Uma das razões para a proibição de competições no Aikido é que muitas de suas técnicas teriam que ser excluídas, dado o elevado risco de causarem ferimentos graves. No treino cooperativo, até técnicas potencialmente letais podem ser praticadas sem riscos substanciais. É importante enfatizar que no Aikido não há atalhos para a proficiência. Consequentemente, não há outro caminho senão o treinamento dedicado e persistente. Ninguém se torna perito em poucos meses. 12.maio.2020 - 2 / 33 - Guia do aluno – Aizen Dojo, Brasília – 509 sul – Instituto Cultural Teruo Nakatani (ITN) – Brasília, DF Objetivo da Prática O objetivo da prática constante não é a perfeição de um estágio ou habilidade, mas tornar o adepto uno com a natureza intra e extrapessoal. É esse aspecto que atrai os ocidentais, especialmente aqueles com interesse em artes marciais não-desportivas. O Aikido, muitas vezes chamado “A Arte da Harmonia”, fornece ensinamentos para melhorar o espírito humano, para a formação do caráter e convivência pacífica1, de modo que o adepto possa tornar-se senhor de seus atos respeitando a integridade de outrem. Sua difusão pelo mundo deve-se, em grande medida, ao fato das pessoas estarem a procurar, através das artes marciais, não a força física, mas sobretudo a firmeza de caráter e a harmonia entre o seu espírito e a humanidade. Como são as técnicas Longe de ser brutal, o Aikido, enquanto técnica, se expressa em movimentos suavizantes, quase sempre executados de forma circular. Dessa forma, possibilita ao praticante o aumento de seu potencial quanto à expressividade do movimento corporal. Em termos gerais, a grande diferença, em relação as outras artes marciais, reside num ponto: enquanto a maioria das lutas utiliza golpes traumáticos e de grande tensão muscular, o Aikido usa o KI (a energia fundamental). Em vez de grande desgaste físico e muscular, o Aikido emprega muita concentração e agilidade. A característica principal consiste em desequilibrar o adversário e jogá-lo ao solo, através de sutis mas eficientes golpes. As técnicas se baseiam, principalmente, em esquivas, amortecimentos de ataques, projeções, condução do oponente, torções e chaves. Os princípios de rotação espiral e esférica tornam possível ao praticante experiente defender-se de um ou mais oponentes de tamanho e força superiores. Benefícios Além do evidente poder defensivo que o Aikido possui, as características de suas técnicas o tornam atrativo para as pessoas de todas as idades. De fato, o Aikido pode ser praticado por qualquer um – crianças, homens e mulheres. Ele não só oferece desenvolvimento espiritual, como também exercício, etiqueta e atitude correta. Face ao seu espírito não violento, o Aikido possibilita que o aluno o pratique de acordo com a sua capacidade, buscando SAÚDE, DEFESA PESSOAL ou TERAPIA. 1 Não confundir com convivência passiva, onde predomina a apatia comportamental à mercê das contingências. A convivência pacífica caracteriza-se por inter-relações concretas que determinam as ocorrências, suas consequências e responsabilidades dos agentes atuantes. 12.maio.2020 - 3 / 33 - Guia do aluno – Aizen Dojo, Brasília – 509 sul – Instituto Cultural Teruo Nakatani (ITN) – Brasília, DF Princípios Gerais Os princípios, abaixo, foram retirados dos ensinamentos do Fundador e adaptados à nossa realidade. Devem ser entendidos como o modo de ser de cada um de nós, praticantes de Aikido. 1. O Aikido deve ser ensinado somente às pessoas que sigam estritamente o ensinamento do instrutor; 2. No Aikido, como caminho marcial, a pessoa deve permanecer alerta a tudo o que se passa ao seu redor, não deixando nenhuma abertura vulnerável (tsuki); 3. A prática torna-se alegre e agradável uma vez que se tenha feito aquecimento e treino o suficiente para não se incomodar com a dor; 4. A pessoa deve, constantemente, refletir a respeito do aprendizado do Aikido nas várias dimensões da vida, não apenas no dojo; 5. A pessoa não deve nunca forçar as coisas de modo antinatural ou não razoável. Ela deve praticar de modo ajustado ao seu corpo, sua condição física e idade; 6. O objetivo do Aikido é o que há de nobre na verdadeira natureza humana. Ele não deve ser usado para exibições do ego. Não exiba ou demonstre, sem necessidade, as técnicas aprendidas; 7. Respeite e ajude a família dos membros do grupo de Aikido; 8. Procure estar em dia com as contribuições ao grupo de Aikido; e 9. Acima de tudo, lealdade ao seu grupo. Aikido em três lições fáceis 1 – Sinta aonde você está Aikido e o caminho da harmonia entre o espírito e a energia do Universo. Você tem que sentir você e o colega, isto leva ao primeiro

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”.

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.

    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.

  • Garry Masters 8Th Dan Principal Coach Kenshinkai Aikido UK
    Garry Masters 8th Dan Principal Coach Kenshinkai Aikido UK 8th Dan Principal Coach - Kenshinkai Aikido 8th Dan Instructor - Yoshinkan Aikido 1st Dan - Jodo & Iaido Garry began practising Yoshinkan Aikido in Portsmouth, UK in 1978 under the tuition of Sensei David Eayrs (founder of Kenshinkai and a founder member of the British Aikido Board). Garry had been advised by his doctor that due to a congenital heart defect he should avoid sport and physical exercise. Garry explained this to David who replied that he thought Aikido would be good for his health and encouraged him to join the club, which at that time was part of the UK Shudokan Institute of Aikido organisation run by Sensei Ted Stratton (later to separate from the Shudokan and become Kenshinkai in 1985). Garry was Chief Instructor of Kenshinkai from 1985 until 1994, also gaining experience in Iaido, Shoto, Jodo and Tanjo, winning the first ever Jodo championship held in England (Mudan Section) in 1986. In 1994 after David left the UK to establish Yoshinkan Aikido in Moscow, Garry was elected as Principal Coach & Chairman of Kenshinkai. In his time as Principal Coach, Garry obtained International recognition for Kenshinkai by re-establishing it as an Independent Yoshinkan Aikido Organisation, recognised by the Aikido Yoshinkan Federation (AYF), the headquarters for Yoshinkan Aikido based in Japan. Over the years Garry has accumulated an extensive knowledge of Yoshinkan and various other styles of Aikido, receiving additional tuition from Francis Ramasamy (David Eayrs first instructor in Malaysia) and attending seminars taught by Kiyoyuki Terada, Morihiro Saito, Tsuneo Ando, Kyoichi Inoue, Tsutomu Chida, Takefumi Takeno, Yasuhisa Shioda among others.

  • Aikido History, Layout 1
    Page 1 AIKIDO HISTOR Y IN JAPAN The year 1942 is often cited as the beginning of modern aikido. It was at that time that the DAI NIHON BUTOKUKAI, desiring to achieve a standardizaton in teaching methodology and no- menclature for modern Japanese martial arts, reached an agreement with the KOBUKAI repre- sentative Minoru HIRAI to call the jujutsu form developed by Morihei UESHIBA aikido. 20 years before, in 1922, Ueshiba had received the teaching license "kyoji-dairi" from Sokaku TAKEDA of DAITO RYU. He subsequently modified these techniques and combined them with his knowledge of other styles such as YAGYU SHINGAN RYU or TENJIN SHINYO RYU into what was first called AIKI BUDOand finally, with a strong emphasis on spiritual and ethical aspects, AIKIDO.Thus, in 1942 AIKIDO joined the ranks of judo, kendo, kyudo and other modern martial arts. When viewed in terms of the development of Morihei Ueshiba's art, 1942 does coinciden- tally represent a time of great transformation as the founder retired to IWAMA that year in the midst of World War II. It was there he made great efforts to hone his technical skills and attain a higher spiritual plane. The founder himself declared that it was during the Iwama years that he perfected his aikido. It is therefore not unreasonable to consider 1942 as the dividing line between aiki budo and aikido. In reality, little aikido was practiced at this time in Japan due to the depletion of the ranks of young men who had been mobilized for the war effort. Thus, alt- hough the birth of aikido can be thought of as having occurred in 1942, its real growth began well after the end of the war.

  • Interview with Morihiro Saito Shihan Aikikai 9Th Dan
    Interview with Morihiro Saito Shihan Aikikai 9th dan Morihiro Saito Shihan (Aikikai 9th dan) began practice of Aikido in 1946 under Aikido's Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, at the Ibaragi Iwama Dojo. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his dedicated practice of the art of Aikido. He has published many books, including the five in the classic series Traditional Aikido, and he appears on several videos. It seems that at every important junction in my life, Saito Sensei has been there. He was at Iwama during the years I spent as an uchi deshi under the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba. Six years after the Founder's death, Saito Sensei came, at my invitation, to a demonstration for an Aikido club on Misawa Air force base, where I was teaching - a demonstration that led to the opportunity for me to come to the US for the first time. Now, 20 years later, in October 1995, I had the opportunity to invite Saito Sensei to instruct at Aikido Nippon Kan in Denver, Colorado. It seems like only the blink of an eye - the time has gone by so quickly. I remember experiences from the past as if they happened yesterday. I am 45 years old now, and Saito Sensei is 67. As time passes and we grow older, I think our temperament and values change, becoming more tolerant and generally more accepting. During our seminar, as I took care of Saito Sensei and watched him teach, I clearly realized just how much time had passed, and just how many memories I had. As Saito Sensei taught, I never heard him talk about universal powers, God, auras, peace, or ki, and I never heard him make any other cosmic references.
