Hi everyone. Please take a moment to check out a new Aikido Terminology book that is written in both English and Japanese with a complete breakdown and...
Looks nice, however it appears to be geared to those in the Aikikai/post-war schools of Aikido. The Yoshinkan tends to us the older terms, similar to Aikido...
there = THEIR ... bah .. one other point. Those who've studied within and/or are still practicing in Yoshinkan and Aikikai shouldn't have too many problems...
... I looked at the preview available; in it he provides kanji and discussion for katate mochi, eri mochi, etc., which I believe is standard terminology in...

Some Aikikai schools that I've trained at, use similar terms as we do, however I found their application was not anything like we'd do. The sample also showed...
Charlie Burmeister here...lurker extraordinar! Just wanted the Yoshinkan Group outside of my reach to know that I have added several Parker Sensei downloads to...
Thanks for the plug Charlie, I'm always looking for new aikido videos to download. I just watched the video of Parker Sensei doing hijishime. He says uke...
Best bet is to attend one of his many clinics. The reasonings are difficult to explain in writing and you really need to feel it to know why. Other than,...
Well...I don't know about enlightening anyone, but I can render you this. It is an ol' school hijishime. What Parker sensei says on the clip is "...the way we...
Charlie, glad to hear someone else recognizes it. It is the way we do it also and followed up with Kote Gaeshi. We also apply NIKAJO somewhere in the entry,...

nice! better that what I could have explained. Still believe you need to experience it to really appreciate it. Then again, that true for anyones technique ......
I have seen the technique done both ways that have been described. And I know from first hand experience - as others do, that both are effective. In our dojo...

Okay, so I have to be the devil's advocate on this point I should probably just leave it alone ... but ...: Quote: what is expected to be demonstrated in tests...
Nice Nic, if I can add, that Aikido is meant to be dynamic and not just the application of the techniques, but the actual evolution of Aikido. While Nic is...
... With regard to Parker Sensei, I feel his technique is beyond reproach however it is not something to be emulated at the lower levels of Aikido, that is why...
hey, another good point Steven, kihon dosa - get that right and then do whatever else you want. I think that those are the tools of the trade and then each of...
Too bad we didn't have one of the more senior instructor's from the Honbu on this list to add a little insight as to what is going on at the Honbu, that would...
sorry about this - I seem to have a lot of opinions today, but I totally agree that the top instructors should send out periodical messages to the community...
HA! .... Okay, first question. Sensei, what is the meaning of life? ... totally ... to ... mailing ... answering questions ... questions ... questions ... at...
Random thoughts on the recent thread. Given that Aikido is dynamic and continuously developing, I would not put to much concern on finer differences between...
... Mori sensei told me once about a conversation he had with Shioda kancho while he was still an uchi deshi at hombu. Kancho said to Mori sensei should he not...
Hi Nic and all, I'd be happy to ask and translate any questions you want covered. The big problem is a forum for presentation. Someone suggested that this list...
I believe that the answer is yes. you should, up to a point or else why would we do kihon dosa? each of these movements teach you something about the way you...
mat, this form is great for the questions to be gathered and answers to be posted - like I said 5 questions a month. I think it would make the newsgroup worth...
Aikido is the answer - don't ask me what aikido is i don't know :) ... From: ext Steven Miranda [mailto:aysdojo@...] Sent: 08 December, 2004 16:48 To:...
