Today was Aikido's "Instructor Seminar" Day.
The instructor seminar is a slightly advanced class practice for those who will be leading the dojo as an instructor.
From Chintokukan, where I belonged, the only one was the teacher and me.
When I arrived at the Aso dojo where we were practicing, no one had arrived yet, so we decided to have lunch first.
This is a dojo that was opened by the dojo teachers themselves, so the view is very good.
The mountains of Aso look very beautiful. Plus, it's sunny.
The rice is also delicious.
Oh yeah, I've started carbohydrate restriction starting today!
Well, the rehearsals have begun.
There are about 30 people in total.
It was mainly practiced techniques that focused on breathing.
As I'm still just the first dan, it's difficult to relax! !
When will I be able to reach the level of my teacher? . . .
There was one trick.
"absorbing the other person's power
," it worked well by pulling out the elbow the moment they were close to the other person.
If you grasp this, you can make use of my 100kg weight! And I received your comments.
I'll try it out right away at my next rehearsal!
After all, it's important to try to a slightly more difficult level!
