I think "martial arts" including Aikido are vague.
What is spirit? What is the road? What is breathing power?
I don't think anyone can put that into words.
Therefore, the person who interprets the wrong way becomes the leader,
Incorrect and unclear teachings spread more and more.
I think it's okay to put it into words to some extent.
How can you do that technique?
That's the "way."
Then you feel the other person's movements and feel the relationship with yourself.
This is "how to be."
What I'm trying to say is
If you focus on your methods, you tend to be biased.
First, the first thing is, "What do you want to be?"
After that, there's "What should I do?"
What do you want to be? To think about it, you need to face yourself.
To do this, when you practice techniques and patterns, you will understand how you are facing your opponent and yourself.
Is it easy to accept someone right away? Is it easy to reject?
I think that this is how you will grow by understanding your own mind.
Was it somehow abstract?
In short, you should not be so obsessed with martial arts "techniques."
The road, so there is philosophy there.
There are many things in the road process, so
I would like to face them without looking away.
That's what it was.
Finally, another illustration.
It's over-the-shoulder.
