Hello, this is Taiko. Wow, it feels like another month is long and long. Rehearsals will be cancelled throughout March (impact of COVID-19). . . This is really long. I'm getting bored of practicing silently by myself, and I've read a lot of books. At times like these, I watch videos from my ancestors and learn what I need to gain. My master is Professor Sunatomo Kanhide. He is an inner student of Ueshiba Morihei, the founder, and is currently in the Army...
Hello, this is Taiko. Rehearsals have been cancelled throughout March, so I'm tired of practicing alone 💦 One day my social media friends told me there was an Aikido manga, so I decided to read it. "EVIL HEART" Taketomi Tomo: The title and the image of Aikido are somehow uncoupled! What's more, Aikido is a martial art that has no matches, and is now a manga...
Good evening, this is Taiko. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, practice has been cancelled for a month from today. What should I do in the meantime? Do you just swing a wooden sword or a staff? Do you practice passively? Do you read a book? If you think about it, you'll have a lot of time and you can do things that you haven't been able to do before. I can't do anything. As long as I think that way, I won't learn anything. This time...
Good evening, this is Taiko. It has finally been announced that the use of public facilities such as martial arts halls will be prohibited. I will be banned from use for a while from March. So you can only practice until the Sunday after tomorrow. The current coronavirus outbreak has had a variety of effects. Tissue and toilet paper are out of stock due to hoaxes. Who is, what on earth...
Good evening, this is Taiko. It seems that the other day he made a comment on Twitter making fun of Aikido. Looking at it, it seems to be, "Why doesn't the person I'm practicing resist?" In short, since it's a regular practice, don't you do it as a familiar face? It was like that. The person who posted it was apparently someone with experience in mixed martial arts. It often happens. Aikido...
Good evening, this is Taiko. I hurt the muscle in my left arm. It hurts with a twisted movement and a palm pointing upwards. I wonder why? Maybe I went too far with four lines? Maybe it's because he got into a strange posture while sleeping on his face? It hurts so much that I jump up, so I can't practice for a while. . . ;; The key touch is also painful, so I'll be excuseing for today. . . Uuuh...
Hello, this is Taiko. I want to practice every day. As I practice, I feel like I want to take a video of how I see myself. Other dojos often upload videos to YOUTUBE. I also take videos frequently. So I was hoping to have a video of "passiveness with a weapon" that I'm currently practicing. I...
Good evening, this is Taiko. I've been practicing tonight too. At the same time, there was also a promotion examination. It reminded me of the trouble I was worried about the issues that were presented during the review. When you say a technique by name, it actually turns out to be "???" There was something I felt in this situation. When you learn something and act on it, you will always be confused. Is this really okay? I'm talking about that person...
Hello, this is Taiko. Recently I've been practicing "passive while holding a weapon." When it comes to promoting the exam, it's strange that you don't do it properly. I'm practicing every time, thinking I'll stop doing it. Today we stayed behind for practice and practiced together with three people, including the teacher. There are eight ways to passively hold a wooden sword. The staff is the same...
Hello, this is Taiko. It's been a while since I've written a blog. I'm very late to report this, but I was promoted to "Nindan" on January 1st, 2020! As a result, I also received a "instructor" qualification! I started in February 2015, so it's almost been five years. I became my first dan in three years, and I spent two years becoming my second dan. To call yourself an Aikido family, first you can...
