  • Contemporary Seniors 1: Similar but Different
    Contemporary Seniors 1: Similar but Different Over 50 years of training in budo, I have been lucky enough to meet or train under many notable martial artists. This year, I want to share my impressions, some deep set, some fleeting, about the men and women I met on the way. There are several senior martial artists who I have trained with, beside, or under, albeit for a short time, separate articles about whom I have not as yet created. That is not a judgment of their worthiness or my respect for them, but that, since they are still active, I hope I can still train with or beside them. In Aiki, Miguel Ibarra and Roy Goldberg, two former partners have taken different paths, the first toward street-style ju-jutsu and aiki-ju-jutsu, the second toward a very refined and difficult aiki-no- jutsu. Both were former students of Anton Pereira. Having done seminars with them and having invited them to teach at my dojo, I can say that each represents his branch of aiki skillfully. Chronologically and in terms of time in the art, they are technically my juniors, but in their fields, their skills set a standard to which I aspire. I still reference Bruce Juchnik in a lot of the things I teach because we have found ourselves taking similar paths over the years even though he comes from a kempo and arnis background and I come from a karate and aiki background. He gets more relaxed and more effective every time I see him. If I can discover the details of a subtle movement he does—usually unconsciously—often it helps me refine some movements I am already doing consciously.

    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.

  • Embodying Gaia: Bruno Latour's Gaia and the Earthboundedness Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jason A. Schindler for the degree of Master of Arts in Environmental Arts and Humanities presented on December 3, 2018. Title: Embodying Gaia: Bruno Latour’s Gaia and the Earthboundedness of Contemplative Pedagogy (a snail’s view) Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Barbara Muraca Bruno Latour’s Facing Gaia provokes us to embrace our Earthboundedness to approach the problematic political ecologies of the Anthropocene. Latour’s call for the Earthbound is to re-trace networks of society, institutions, and meaning and to challenge, as enemy, those that would continue to behave as if we lived on more than one Earth or would fall prey to the hubris in thinking our solutions were merely technological. Modernist separations of Science and Religion are shown rooted in perceptions and narratives of separateness over the reality of their hybridity and imbrication. Realizing this imbrication, science and religion need not be at odds. Modes of contemplative practices of mindfulness, meditation, and aikido mirror these calls for Latour’s Earthbounded reformation and reorientate the apparent dualities of human origins. Contemplative pedagogies also trace similar modalities of transdisciplinarity in academia and focus on corroborative practice over dogmatic narrative. This is traced through the work by way of a snail’s view, in homage to marginalia, the marginalized, and the chthonic beings of the overlooked world; this view situates an Earthboundedness, sensitivity to kin and encounter, and a praxis for moving forth-with, accomplishing reconciliation and reciprocity. In this way, we may better perceive the vicissitudes of and connect with the Anthropocene, face Gaia, and make kin of enemies, political and ecological.

  • 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.
