Tuesday shihonage

With an upcoming beginner test we started the class with reviewing shihonage. The whole class worked on yokomen uchi shihonage ichi before seperating in to groups to work on other shihonage based on their rank. However, the points were all the same. Timing, distance/angles, taking balance and the proper rotation of our partners arm to connect and control.

Tanto training in Saitama

This past Sunday we did some weapon work. Both the kids class and adults class in both the Saitama morning and Sakado afternoon clubs worked on tanto soho and tanto dori.

The movements in tanto soho are not that complicated. However, it takes focus and concentration. You must be concious of the distance, angles and centerlines. You also need to control the timing. Another fun Sunday!

18th Annual Yasukuni Jinja demonstration

On Sunday September the 17th, eight Aikido Meiryukan members ranging from junior high to university student accompanied Jim sensei to the 18th annual Yasukuni Jinja demonstration hosted by Tenshinsho Jigenryu heiho. Videos are up on YouTube!

Our participants were from 5 different clubs, hence we didn`t get to practice much. The day of the enbu was actually our first time having all the members together. First demo in almost 3 years,  kobudo demo with a different, but unique atmosphere, outside in the heat, and wood flooring and no tatami all made the experience the better. Great job done by all!

Thanks to Ueno Kagenori sensei from Tenshinsho Jigenryu for the invitation. Thanks to the Jigenryu members for preparations and hosting such an event. Thanks to all the other kenjutsu, karate and various kobudo groups for their energy, knowledge and camaraderie. Thanks to the parents, guests and spectators. It was an experience we will cherish.

 

Hijishime in Nagareyama

Working on hijishime in Nagareyama. 

Today we did both the #1 and the #2 of kata mochi hijishime.

The main points were to use the shoulder when cutting down and or leading, as well as proper posture both before and after the actual lock.

Hijishime is a great technique to understand the difference between arm power vs correct posture.
