Pranin's ForesightBy RickMr. Pranin is genuinely known as an Aiki historian. I must say that to have the insight in the early 70's to start collecting this information is genuinely a gift for the rest of us. He has a tough job as an interviewer and it comes out in some of his articles. He not only has to overcome obstacles in gaining access and trust of some of these aiki pioneers but he has to create questions palatable within the context of Japanese culture.To this end, the author displays an incredible talent and some major self- discipline in letting the answers slide or migrate from the initial purpose of the question to the answer that the teacher wants to respond with....Anyone interested in any budo should be interested in this work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Ueshiba Morihei - Father to the myriad of modern masters,By IggyThis review is about Aikido, but more exactly about Ueshiba Sensei's time as a Daito Ryu student and later teacher. Imbued with great talent and enthusiasm he learned from Takeda Sokaku in the duration of about 10 years and then became a serious teacher of his own. However, unlike Sokaku, Ueshiba was perhaps a little more prone to success and spotlight, or he just couldn't avoid it during the crucial for Japan time - 1st World War and the events leading up to the 2nd. In contrast, his teacher was seen very little, neither could he be easily found which did not prevent him from having a truly notorios reputation.Ueshiba, considered "O-Sensei" or the "Great Teacher", by all who follow in his footsteps had many students, in those unrestful pre-War days. Many of those students were already pretty good with their fists and ankles: they were karate guys, but they all in unison agreed that in the face of Ueshiba they met someone extraordinary both in the martial ability and personality. Of those, only 2 people ever achieved 10th dan (the last degree) in the art of Aikido. Both of their interviews are presented in the book..But there is much much more! Since Ueshiba-sensei had such a great and multiple following, sometimes one is surpised at how much the basic philosophy of this very intersting and profound art varies from the individual to individual. The constellation of Ueshiba-sensei's "children" shall we call them, shows that variety but they do agree on some concepts, one of which is understanding of the spirit of the man, and the use of force in aikido. That said they do vary in the understanding of how much force is needed. Furthermore, while some think that there is no aikido without its neo-Shintoist background that includes constant prayer and purification, others may think that they can dispense with it and concentrate more on the techniques. Needless to say it all depends on the individual and their own perception of such a multifaceted individual as Ueshiba-sensei. He, of course grew to almost legendary propotions even during his own lifetime, even in this Pre- War period that the book discusses - yet, here we often get glimpse of him as just a man, not devoid of mistakes.

Reach Out and Touch O-SenseiBy Robert NohaREACH OUT AND TOUCH O-SENSEIA Review of Aikido Pioneers Pre-War EraInterviews by Stanley PraninPublished by Aiki News-2010356 pagesReview by Robert NohaIntroductionLike the 1950 Akira Kurosawa film Rashoman, which shows multiple perspectives of the same event, this book of interviews provides 20 unique perspectives on the life and teaching of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido. The interviews were conducted by Stanley Pranin, editor in chief of the Aikido Journal.The interview subjects range from his son and successor Kisshomaru Ueshiba and nephew Yoichiro Inoue to Tenryu, a famous sumo wrestler, and four students who founded their own systems of Aikido: Gozo Shioda; Kenji Tomiki; Koichi Tohei and Minoru Mochizuki.This book is a priceless opportunity to learn about the life, times and teaching of the Aikido founder. It is especially valuable in that it provides details of the critical era before the Second World War when Aikido was becoming the art it is today.Aikido Pioneers is a valuable addition to three recent books that also focus on O-Sensei and his teachings. The first is a biography of O-Sensei, A Life in Aikido by his son Kisshomaru. The other two are translations of lectures by O- Sensei done by John Stevens: The Secret Teachings of Aikido and The Heart of Aikido.Interview ExcerptsThe interview with O-Sensei's nephew Yoichiro spans a period of O- Sensei's life from the early 1900s when they practiced Judo together, until the mid-1930s. Like the rest of the book, it provides multiple perspectives as a family member, fellow practitioner and student/assistant in the very early days of Aikido.Of great interest are interviews with two well known students sent from the Kodokan Judo Headquarters by Judo founder Jigoro Kano: Kenji Tomiki and Minoru Mochizuki.Tomiki's perspective is one of a university professor interested in adapting the teachings of O- Sensei to that of a modern competitive art.Mochizuki shares fascinating stories about Judo Founder Jigoro Kano and 10th Dan Judo master Kyuzo Mifune as well as his experiences with O-Sensei.Interviews with several pre-war students, who did not continue their training after the war, provide a perspective much like the majority of students today who practice for a limited period rather than a lifetime or to become an instructor.There is one emotionally powerful interview with Shigemi Yonekawa who is one of the ukes in the 1935 Asahi News Film. He explains his reason for discontinuing his training:Aikido Journal: In other words, it was not a matter of your doubting Ueshiba Sensei's techniques, but rather a question of whether or not you could reach that level yourself.Yonekawa: That's right. There was a mysterious, infinite power in what Ueshiba Sensei had, although "power" is a misleading term. There are various levels among human beings. Ueshiba Sensei's level was different. He had a power which naturally caused one to bow one's head when standing before him. How do you develop this kind of thing? I didn't understand that level of training.Another interesting area are stories about O-Sensei's incredible level of skill as a martial artist.One example is provided by Tenryu, a famous sumo wrestler, who encountered O-Sensei at a martial arts demonstration in Manchuria.Aikido Journal: Would you describe how you first happened to see Ueshiba Sensei?Tenryu: Ueshiba Sensei said, "since you are all martial arts practitioners, if there is a man among you, come and test this old man"...I thought this old man was talking nonsense, and slapped his hand down as I grabbed it. But the moment I touched him I was startled. I felt as if I had taken hold of an iron bar. Of course...I immediately knew I had been defeated...and I fell down.Tenryu went back to Japan with O-Sensei and trained with him for several months.A second example is told by Kiyoshi Nakaura, who was for a time, O- Sensei's son in law and designated successor.Aikido Journal: We understand that Haga Sensei (a kendo colleague of Nakakura's) tested Ueshiba Sensei on one occasion.Nakaura: Yes...we both went to attack him, but we were thrown before we even grabbed him. Then we realized that what Mr. Ueshiba was doing was genuine.Another area of great interest are stories relating meetings with Sokaku Takeda and Onisaburo Deguchi, the two biggest outside influences on O-Sensei and the development of Aikido.This humorous encounter is also told by Kiyoshi Nakaura.Aikido Journal: Can you tell us something about Sokaku Takeda Sensei?Nakaura: Sokaku Sensei came to visit him (O-Sensei) at the Kobukan...I heard something that sounded like an argument...and went out of the dojo to find Takeda Sensei pushing a taxi driver into the gutter! It seems the driver had said something about money to Sokaku Sensei and so Sokaku got mad at him and pushed him into the gutter. So I apologized and paid the driver...Gozo Shioda describes his view of the relationship between O-Sensei and Onisaburo Deguchi:Aikido Journal: Did Ueshiba Sensei revere Onisaburo Deguchi as a divine being?Shioda: Yes, he did...Ueshiba Sensei thought that he owed his power to Onisaburo Deguchi.There is also a fascinating interview with a woman student, Takako Kunigoshi, who drew the illustrations for one of O-Sensei's books-Budo Renshu.In this exchange she describes working on the book Budo Renshu:Aikido Journal: Did Ueshiba Sensei cooperate in preparing the book?Kunigoshi: Yes...while we were working on the drawings, Sensei looked at them and gave them his personal approval...Ueshiba Sensei said "if you're going to make a book of it, you have to do it properly."SummaryThis book offers its readers a fascinating look at the founder of Aikido and its history by people who were there.

  • Hiroo MOCHIZUKI Soke De L’École YOSEIKAN BUDO
    Hiroo MOCHIZUKI Soke de l’école YOSEIKAN BUDO To the Yoseikan world Salon-de-Provence, 27th December 2013 This year 2013 is marked by the 10th anniversary of the death of my father, Master Minoru MOCHIZUKI, first Soke of the Yoseikan School. As I was chosen to be his successor concerning the Budo of the Yoseikan School, I felt all the weight of the responsibilities for this legacy, as far as passing down and improving the School knowledge as well as ensuring its continuity is concerned. With this letter, I want first of all to thank his closest pupils for their support during this mission and especially for their efforts to preserve the spirit of work, research and uprightness that has been my father’s since the founding of the first Hombu dojo Yoseikan in Shizuoka (Hitoyado cho) in 1931. As Soke of the Yoseikan School since 2000, it is my duty to publicly remind everyone of the official list of experts who were awarded the diploma “Menkyo Kaiden” (*) by my father almost twenty years ago. It was published at his request in April 1996 in the journal of his international organisation BUDO YOSEIKAN. 1. MOCHIZUKI Hiroo 2. MURAI Kyoichi (†) 3. SUGIYAMA Shoji 4. MOCHIZUKI Tetsuma 5. MOCHIZUKI Kanji (†) 6. AKAHORI Katsutoshi 7. YAMASHITA Takeshi 8. SHINMURA Masaji 9. SUGIYAMA Seiichi 10. YOSHIDA Nobumasa 11. SUGIYAMA Tadashi 12. YAMAMOTO Kazumasa 13. MOCHIZUKI Seiichi (†) 14.

  • 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.

The guiding principle of Aikido is HARMONY: inner harmony of mind and body; harmony with others people; and oneness with Nature. The name AIKIDO means, “The Way of Harmony with Life-Energy.” Aikido was developed in the early 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba O- Sensei. He mastered many martial arts and combined them with his spiritual and ethical insights to form modern Aikido. He taught, “Aikido is love. If you think that ‘martial art’ means to have enemies and opponents and to be strong and defeat them, you are mistaken. The true martial art is to be one with the universe and to have no enemies. The essence of the martial art is the spirit of loving protection of all beings.” Koichi Tohei Sensei was born on January 20th, 1920 in Tokyo. He graduated from the Economics Department of Keio University. When he was young, he suffered from pleurisy and he was very weak.

  • Rediscovering Kodokan Judo
    Rediscovering Kodokan Judo Rediscovering Kodokan Judo by Llyr C Jones PhD © 2005 Llyr C Jones, All Rights Reserved Introduction It is well known that the word judo comes from a combination of two Japanese words – ju meaning gentle and do meaning path or way. This makes judo literally the gentle way. At the level of first principles, the essence of Kodokan1 Judo [1] is the turning an opponent's strength and overcoming by means of skill rather than sheer strength. This theory is captured by the Japanese expression ju yoku go o seisu – usually translated in a number of ways e.g. softness overcomes hardness, flexibility overcomes stiffness, gentleness controls strength or win by yielding. Watching the seemingly effortless combination of grace, technique and power of a true judo expert in action it would be very easy (but very wrong) to underestimate the intense physical and mental demands that judo makes upon its exponents. Achieving excellence in judo demands considerable single-mindedness, and achieving mastery of all of the throwing, grappling and striking techniques that makes up the discipline demands serious and arduous training over an extended period of time under the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable teacher. Judo is now practised in almost every country in the world. However, the aim of this paper is to question the direction that judo has taken and to challenge whether a significant re-orientation is required? The State of the Nation As a starting point it is worthwhile stating the definition of judo as provided by the Kodokan New Japanese-English Dictionary of Judo [2]: judo – ….a martial art formulated by Jigoro Kano based on his reformulation and adaptation of several classical jujutsu systems as well as his own philosophical ideals.

  • Stage MOCHIZUKI Sensei Sp "Présentation"
    STAGE MOCHIZUKI SENSEI 3 & 4 JUILLET 2021 - LA TURBALLE (44) « LE BUDO EN HÉRITAGE » PRÉSENTATION PAR MITCHIKO MOCHIZUKI Cher(e)s collègues FFK, l’heure d’une crise sanitaire qui perdure, il est clair que nous devons écrire la partition de notre futur vers un A monde plus cohésif, plus mutualisé et humain, en revenant à l’essentiel. Jamais en ces temps difficiles, la phrase de John Lennon n’a trouvé un tel écho : « Un rêve qu’on rêve seul est seulement un rêve. Un rêve qu’on rêve ensemble est une réalité ». Il est vrai que l’histoire nous a montré maintes fois que nous sommes encore plus riches d’idées et d’échanges dans l’union des forces, des compétences et des connaissances. Aussi, nous avions décidé d’organiser un nouveau stage animé par MOCHIZUKI Sensei en Loire Atlantique, plusieurs fois reporté en raison de la crise sanitaire. Enfin, il est désormais fixé au week- end du 3 et 4 juillet 2021, avec l’aide précieuse du Comité Départemental FFK44 présidé par Mr PACAUD, en accord avec la mairie de La Turballe, les commerçants et les magazines « Self & Dragon », « Survivre » et « Taichi chuan ». Lors de la venue de mon père en mars 2019 à St Brévin-les-Pins, son expérience et son savoir incommensurable nous ont rappelé « qu’étudier un véritable art martial, c’est avant tout s’étudier soi- même et se muer en chercheur pour progresser », afin de construire « DEMAIN ». Ce stage ouvert à toutes les disciplines martiales (Asiatique, Européenne, Indienne, Africaine…) fut un rendez-vous marquant, différent et unique pour tout le monde, enseignant(e)s, pratiquant(e)s comme organisateurs.
