The general concepts

    There will be 1 hour of work with a group of 4 students.

    In each hour, specific aspects related to the three points described.

    The entire approach will be focused on the empty hand (MV).

    Within the 5 minutes allocated to the central explanation, students will be able to ask any question or doubt related to what is being shown at that moment.

    The warm-up will be done by each group of students (4 by 4) on their own before their session, in an area set up for it in our Dojo.

   As it could not be otherwise, our packaging is available at the click of a button on our website if you want to use it.

    You can do 1 day and 1 hour of class, or 2 days and 2 hours of practice during the weekend.

   To be chosen according to the interest and concerns that each practitioner has, taking into account the technical approaches we offer.

    Each day there will be 4 hours of practice with 4 different groups of students working on different levels and different contents.

    If the 4 students necessary to do a given 1 hour are not completed, with great regret, that hour cannot be done.

    To keep seminar attendees up to date on places that are occupied on days and times, it will be done through our WhatsApp channel - for this reason we RECOMMEND those registered to follow us - in this way they will be informed of the occupation of places and when a group and a specific time are CLOSED.

Technical Planning

         Saturday 9th

    1st hour on Saturday from 09:00 to 10:00 h, 5th Kyu level.

    Basic MV Elements : Gyaku hanmi Katatedori; Irimi, Tenkan and Sokumen.

    The goal is to have a stable Kamae, leading the partner with a certain Time within the possibilities that the student will offer at this basic level of evolution.

    The energy we are going to apply is that of Irimi.

   On the other hand, it must be kept in mind that both Uke and Tori have to develop good contact through the holding of the Katatedori (with support and sensitivity).

    The learning element to integrate is that, when grabbing, you must have contact with the entire palm of your hand on your partner's forearm.

    Work on technique will be done with the Katatedori attack, Gyaku hanmi.

   T: Shihonage.

   T: Iriminage.

   T: Kaitenage, Uchi y Soto.

   The first technique (Shihonage) aims to work on the central axis and extension in its execution.

   With the 2nd technique (Iriminage) the aim is to polish the work of Te Sabaki (see second 33 in this link) , which is so difficult to perform to drain and unbalance Uke's attack.

   With the 3rd technique (Kaitenage) we will concentrate on the cut and the action-coordination of the legs that makes Uke lose his balance to apply the correct Nage, all this with a good unification-body coordination.

   Within this work of the legs, we will also contemplate the role of Uke, how to use them to have the best possible position within his circumstance of imbalance - control that Tori exercises.

         Saturday 9th

    2nd hour on Saturday from 10:00 to 11:00 am, 4th Kyu level.

    MV Basic Elements : Morote Dori Kokyu Ryoku Yoseiko, Omote and Ura.

   Within the dynamics of the Kyus grades or the curriculum of our Dojo, it is a basic element of the 5th Kyu, which aims to prepare the student for when he accesses the 4th Kyu, to be able to work competently on the block of techniques contained within the Morotedori attack that will be new for the student who accesses this level.

    The objective we pursue now is to use the structure with unification and giving preference to the use of the legs, to that we add the Kokyu action with expansion using the movements of Tsugi ashi , Irimi Ashi and Tenkan.

   In this way, when the technical block corresponding to this hour is carried out, each technique can be addressed taking into account each of the movements carried out with this exercise, that is, carrying out the same principle in 3 different ways.

    The energy we are going to apply is the energy that involves connection and pressure.

    Within the learning elements of this level and specifically with the role of Uke in the Ukemis section, we will work on action-reaction, to make a dynamic practice, full of content and with presence.

   The attitude that Uke must cultivate at all times to put into practice this learning element so necessary to perform Aikido with content will be explained.

    The work on the technique will be done with the Morotedori attack.

   T: Ikkyo.

   T: Iriminage.

   T: Kotegaeshi.

   In all 3 techniques, much emphasis will be placed on keeping the elbows closed when executing the different principles.

Technical Planning

         Saturday 9th

    3rd hour on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 3rd Kyu level.

    Basic elements of MV : Shuto Uchi, Shomen and Yokomen, in this case giving weight to the attack.

    The objective is to give realism to these two attacks, that is, the correct distance of impact, as well as the weight of the hands, to avoid theatricality, stopping them before impact and similar things that many do and that are not correct in the practice of Aikido.

   It is assumed and understood that students do not enter openly when performing these attacks, that the body does not arrive before the attack, etc., that is, it is assumed that there is already a clear basis of understanding to perform the attack correctly, in this way with this exercise we will be able to advance in these superior points within these elements.

   If you have any doubts about these aspects, we recommend that you read the editorial: “The courage to change.”

   To develop this section, a specific exercise will be done, both with Shomen and with Yokomen, either with Makiwara or working with a partner.

    The energy we are going to apply is that of adhesion.

    Within the learning elements of this level and within the Kamae section, we are going to concentrate on the control of the body axis.

    The work on the technique will be done with the Katadori attack.

   T: Sankyo.

   T: Yonkyo.

   T: Shihonage.

   What will be given priority in the first 2 techniques (Sankyo, Yonkyo), is awareness and making a lclear distinction when using the hips or the waist.

   This means that in the first 4 repetitions each student will use the hips and in the following 4 repetitions when it is his/her turn again, the waist will be used. In this way, the difference between the two will be experienced.

   Within the Nage technique, Ukemi will be advanced. Because at this level and from it onwards, there are no more basic Ukemis according to our pedagogical approaches.

Technical Planning

         Saturday 9th

    4th hour on Saturday from 12:00 to 13:00, 2nd Kyu level.

   In our training approach to Aikido, the demands placed on this stage of practice are comparable in other environments to the levels of consolidated Yudanshas.

    The aim at this time is therefore to carry out work on the Jutai stadium with all the technical repertoire that has been planned.

   So students who attend during this time must have the ability to work at that pace and with that demand in a fluid manner and with presence in action.

   If I don't know the size, another time and level can be chosen that is more accessible to the student's current body type.

    The energy we are going to apply is that of being flexible.

   This means being able to respond to your partner - regardless of the role you are assuming (Uke or Tori) -, adapting at all times to the circumstances created and responding with the correct Timing, that is, not arriving too late or too early with the given response.

    Within the learning elements of this level , we are going to work on: Begin to interpret energy , perceive the flow, both in the Uke and Tori positions.

   This is done in order to be able to respond well and with flexible energy to the partner.

    The work on the technique will be done with the attack of Ushiro ryotedori.

   T: Nikkyo.

   T: Sankyo.

   T: Kotegaeshi.

   With the 1st technique (Nikkyo) we are going to mark the clear difference between the Omote and the Ura.

   This will be done by using the unified body together with a continuous movement and joined to the other with the appropriate cadence based on their responses as Uke.

   With the 2nd technique (Sankyo) we will approach it from an advanced level, working with great continuity in the action until concluding it with control.

   With the 3rd technique (Kotegaeshi) we will apply a flexible action-reaction and with the possibility that if Tori does not control Uke to turn him upside down to perform the relevant control of the Kotegaeshi, Uke can make a counter by applying Gokaku Keiko.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 10th

    1st hour on Sunday from 09:00 to 10:00 h, 5th Kyu level.

    Exercise to learn to rotate from : Aihanmi Katatedori.

    The objective is to learn to use the 8 points of support of the feet in the action of rotating so as not to lose balance and to be focused on the action of Waza, both the Tori and the Uke.

   This work is essential when approaching the Shihonage technique from both the Uke and Tori perspective.

    The energy we are going to apply is Tenkan. Especially when it comes to working on Ura with each technique.

    Within the learning elements of this level , in the section on movements, we are going to work on: Develop your Kamae at all times.

   This means a correct position of the body with the Kamae taking into account: well-positioned knees, correct weight on the legs, use of the spine, laterality, etc.

    The work on the technique will be done with the attack of Katatedori Aihanmi.

   T: Ikkyo.

   T: Shihonage.

   T: Kaitenage, Uchi y Soto.

   In the 3rd technique (Kaitenage) we are going to place special emphasis, because the work from Aihnmi is usually quite overlooked by most practitioners.

   It should also be noted that it has a direct relationship when it has to be executed from Shomenuchi at higher levels of practice.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 10th

    2nd hour on Sunday from 10:00 to 11:00 am, 4th Kyu level.

    Basic MV Elements : Ryote Mochi Ryote Dori, Tenkan

    The objective is structural unification and the development of psychomotor skills, given that Tori will be holding both of his hands and will be forced by the circumstances of the hold to use his body as a whole to perform the Tenkan movement under this attack.

   We will also need this resource to deal with the Tenchinage principle when tackling technical work.

    The energy we are going to apply is to the two impulses.

    Within the learning elements of this level and the section on movements, we are going to focus on the subsection: use your legs to move and keep your torso loose.

   This will greatly facilitate the work of the upper limbs within the Waza action, which must be cultivated when doing the entire technical block.

    The work on the technique will be done with the Ryotemochi ryotedori attack.

   T: Tenchinage.

   T: Iriminage.

   T: Kokyunage.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 10th

    3rd hour on Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 3rd Kyu level.

    Movement exercise with 3 Ukes and 1 Tori. It will be carried out as follows:

   The 3 Ukes walk towards Tori with their arms extended and he will move in any direction in the space so that they cannot touch him with the arm that is extended towards him. To increase the difficulty of the exercise, the movements will be done within a previously delimited space.

    The objective is to correctly focus the gaze, within the 8 types that exist. In the case of 3rd Kyu, the level of work with the gaze would correspond to eye-body coordination.

    The energy we are going to apply is that of continuing.

   Because attention must be focused on the connection established between the attack, the encounter (De-ai) and its channeling, in order to be able to apply the corresponding techniques.

    Within the learning elements of this level and in the subsection of Uke's work, we are going to work on acting with action - reaction, that means a very dynamic attitude and action in the development of Keiko in the two roles without losing the Zanshin.

    The work on the technique will be done with the Shomenuchi attack.

   T: Sumiotoshi.

   T: Uchi – Kaiten Sankyo.

   T: Udekiminage.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 10th

    4th hour on Sunday from 12:00 to 13:00, 2nd Kyu level.

    Exercise of meeting with the Shomenuchi to apply the action of Uchi.

    The objective of this exercise is to facilitate the dynamics of the technical part afterwards.

   It will be approached from two different angles, so that students are more versatile and creative when performing Waza.

    The energy we are going to apply is that of linking.

   The reason for applying this type of energy is because there will be 2 actions (the Shomen and the Uchi) that have to be previously united to reach the application of the different techniques.

    Within the learning elements of this level we will refine our perception to:

   Distinguishing between fullness and emptiness in the legs.

   Distinguishing between fullness and emptiness in the arms.

    The work on the technique will be done with the Shomenuchi attack: Uchi, Irimi, Tenkan.

   T: Shihonage.

   T: Kotegaeshi.

   T: Kokyunage avanzado.

   If there is demand from students, a closing meal for the course can be held on the SUNDAY after the seminar ends, both for those who have attended 1 day of class and for those who have participated in both days.

   Lunch start time: 2:30 p.m.

   After lunch there will be a DESSERT TABLE, where participants will be able to exchange their experiences, opinions, sensations and experiences with the Sensei, regarding the personalized Aikido course.

   WE RECOMMEND that when registering for the seminar, those interested inform the organization of their desire to participate, in order to coordinate the activity and promote its development with our Kuubukan Quality.
