Wonder if they would invite someone from the Tomiki world. :D
Of course not defending is suicide also. :D
I have watched a number of koryu enbu demonstrations in Japan and there is invariably unarmed defenses against sword - aikido is not unique in this.
...
Well I have zero tolerence for those that have tried aikido once, twice or not at all and then lecture on all that is wrong with aikido usual in comparison to the wonderful way they train.
...
Which reminds me to give Lisa a call its been awhile.
There is still a defined uke and a tori - that is fixed-role.
Well it is in Aikido. Shodokan Aikido for sure, and I know of a few Aikikai dojo that use Tomiki's randori method or a variation...
That thread should be read in its entirety. Peter G. also makes some interesting comments related to this thread.
Yes I think we are getting lost in details.
I agree that ukemi has to be taught and that it is far more involved than making a nice forward role.
For a student to learn a technique in a...
I have to add that every single Aikido instructor who has either visited my dojo or whose dojo I visited has played both roles with me and others in my presence. That includes a certain poster on...
My experience with koryu jujutsu and otherwise is only a few training sessions that I either participated in or watched and some enbu. We should ask some of the people who train Koryu Jujutsu that...
A little unsatisfied with my previous post - all critique and no substance - appologies to Giancarlo.
In the kata training I do the role of uke is just as carefully taught as the technique itself...
Have to disagree with at least part of this.
Firstly Judo uses the same method as Aikido in its kata training and in fact so do the koryu that are primarily jujutsu schools. Here the junior...
Seems you already know all there is to know.
Have fun
I know aikidoists that I respect that travel frequently to train with the guy.
I was sitting waiting for my turn to compete for promotion when I saw one of the most awsome things. In Japan there are no weight classes for promotion and I saw a guy move in and throw a guy 50%...
When I did my Dan promotion shiai I shaved my chest hair - does that count.
I would go for what attracts you and not worry about the hair. As for Ueshiba M. when he was young and fighting fit -...
I think many of the techniques you see in the Koryu Goshin no kata can fall victim to the what if game but it must be understood that none of them are meant to be - if you are attacked this way you...
Perhaps I missed but where was the resistance training?
Yes it would be very tough.
We do practice kakarigeiko (jiyu-waza) against more than one attacker - we call it ninindori or sannindori. When we do the attack tends to be with tanto ala regular...
I think Ron summed it up best although the whole ten thing really has no bearing in my opinion.
We practice tsukuri a lot in Shodokan/Tomiki Aikido (if Peter G. is reading this he'll remember...
Regarding the relationship between Judo and Aikido one really should read Tomiki - some of the stuff is available on the internet.
He tends to use Judo terms to describe Aikido - kuzushi, tsukuri,...
That's a bit tough Ron considering they are in two very seperated cities. I also did not get the impression that the person was particularily looking for what Mike and Rob are into but sure maybe...
So use your advanced students to help teach.
After I demonstrate/explain what I want done I will often pair senior students with junior for a prescribed period of time. After that senior with...
Hi Peter;
Within Shodokan the hakama is considered formal wear and is, as you know, not normally worn in practice. The University students that wear them for formal Enbu demonstrations will have...
:D
Shodokan Aikido rarely wear them - although University clubs have students do so during Enbu demonstration. Dan grade has no importance.
However, that little tidbit aside, we enjoy the legend.
