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.

  • 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.

  • Ultimate Aikido: Secrets of Self-Defense and Inner Power
    Ultimate Aikido: Secrets of Self-Defense and Inner Power Author: Yoshimitsu Yamada (with Steve Pimsler) Genre: Aikido and Other Martial Arts Publisher: New York: Citadel Press, 1981 ISBN: 0-8065-1566-X RRP: £34.99 (+£2.80 p&p) This incredibly well-written and easy-to read book sees one of Morihei Ueshiba’s greatest students, Yoshimitsu Yamada, set down his knowledge of Aikido for the reader. Ultimate Aikido is the second book written on the way of harmony by Yamada, an 8th Dan who trained directly under the founder of Aikido and was Head of the USAF, the governing body in America, at the time of its writing. As one would expect from a teacher of his standing and a book of this type, his text offers a from-the-ground-up syllabus of instruction, starting with the basics. One of the book’s great strengths is the way in which its illustrative photographs work in tandem with the text, a factor noticeable throughout. Morover, and unlike many other books of this type, the author’s words do not come through a translator, but are his own, and this is noticeable in the style and feel of the text; Ultimate Aikido feels ‘warm’. As one would expect, the first section sees the author instruct on the fundamental principles of the art, including posture, ukemi and etiquette, all of which are accompanied by photographs, often from different angles. This high level of detail is improved still further in the second and larger section on techniques, wherein photographs, again from various angles, are mixed with accurate sketches illustrating the direction of forces involved.

  • Aikido (Oktober 2018) © Stefan Sohr / VAK E.V
    Die Uchi Deshi des Morihei Ueshiba Ausarbeitung von Stefan Sohr zum 2. DAN Aikido (Oktober 2018) © Stefan Sohr / VAK e.V. Seite 1 von 16 Einleitung Morihei Ueshiba (1883 – 1969) war der Begründer der japanischen Kampfkunst Aikido. Er wird oft als O‘Sensei (Großer Lehrer) bezeichnet. In seiner Jugend studierte er unterschiedliche Kampfkünsten und diente während des russisch- japanischen Krieges in der japanischen Armee. Im Jahr 1907 zog er nach Hokkaido, wo er Takeda Sokaku, den Gründer von Daito-ryu Aiki-Jujutsu kennenlernte. Ueshiba verließ 1919 Hokkaido und eröffnete in Ayabe sein erstes Dojo. 1926 zog er nach Tokio, wo er das Aikikai Hombu-Dojo aufbaute. Inzwischen war er in Kampfsportkreisen vergleichsweise berühmt und lehrte in ganz Japan, unter anderem auch in mehreren Militärakademien. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Hombu-Dojo vorübergehend geschlossen und Ueshiba zog sich nach Iwama zurück, wo er ein neues Dojo eingerichtet hatte. Vom Ende des Krieges bis in die 1960er Jahre arbeitete er für die Förderung von Aikido in ganz Japan und im Ausland. Er starb 1969 an Leberkrebs. Die frühe Form des Trainings unter Ueshiba unterschied sich deutlich von späteren Formen des Aikido. Es war umfangreicher, setzte mehr Schläge (Atemi) auf lebenswichtige Punkte ein und umfasste verstärkt den Gebrauch von Waffen. Als Ueshiba älter, erfahrener und spiritueller wurde, veränderte sich auch seine Kunst und wurde sanfter. Kampftechniken wurden weniger wichtig, und es wurde mehr Aufmerksamkeit auf die Kontrolle des Ki gerichtet. Im Laufe der Jahre bildete Ueshiba eine große Anzahl von Schülern aus, von denen viele später berühmte Lehrer wurden und ihre eigenen Aikido-Stile entwickelten.
