Novelty

    One week before the seminar (on Thursday of that week from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and only for the attendees, the Dojo invites you to a special class to get acquainted and work on some generic exercises, with the aim of facing the seminar in better conditions.

   It is important to note that the class is joint for all levels and all the hours that are scheduled in the course.

   What is the goal of this initiative?

   This initial connection will allow us to approach classes more effectively thanks to the curriculum's flexibility. Furthermore, we all already know each other, have practiced together, and have established common ground that will benefit everyone's understanding of the course content.

   There are few Aikido dojos that offer equal instruction in weapons and empty-hand techniques. That's another reason for holding this introductory class, in case there are students unfamiliar with weapons; this way, they'll find it much easier to grasp the material over the weekend.

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 (AR) weapons.

    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 7th

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

    The objective at this level is to establish a foundation on some of the basic elements of Jo and Ken.

    Basic exercise:

   Basic elements of AR

   1st The 6 basic Kamaes.

   2nd Shihogiri (working in 4 directions) and Hapogiri (working in 8 directions) with the Jo in Choku Tsuki and with Ken in Shomenuchi.

   3rd Work on the movements with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   In the first case (the Kamaes), learn the basic guards with both weapons.

   In the second case (Shihogiri and Hapogiri), become aware of the use of space by moving in four or eight directions.

   The other aspect when doing it with Ken is the awareness of the center (reference point the space between the eyebrows) while cutting in Shomenuchi.

   When approaching with Jo, the awareness of the change of direction is developed by working on the gaze and adherence when changing the dominant hand of the Jo.

   First, we will do 4 directions, and with that base, we will then address the remaining 4.

   In this way, integration will be progressive for better assimilation.

   In the third case (displacements), it is about using the space in a practical way, having the correct angle when performing the different displacements.

   I work with implements.

   I work on a line on the ground moving from one side to the other, either in Tsugi ashi or Irimi ashi.

   This exercise will be performed both with the Jo, in Choku Tsuki working Hidari hanmi: and with the Ken in Shomenuchi, working Migi hanmi.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Firstly, the aim is a flexible and precise foot movement when moving from one side of the ground line to the other, taking into account the left foot (exercise with Jo) and the right foot (exercise with Ken).

   In this way, both sides of the body will be taken into account.

   Secondly, this will be very useful later on to tackle any higher-level content: Suburis, Awase, etc.

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

   What is the reason for using this type of energy?

   The reason for using this type of energy is that many technical details need to be integrated with each weapon, and if you are not physically and mentally present, it will be a waste of time; therefore, there will be no incorporation of knowledge about the body based on what is being executed.

   Learning elements when working at this level: within the section of the standing Kamae: keep the front foot diagonally at 45º to the outside.

    The technical work will be:

   Suburis from 1 to 10 with Jo.

   Suburis from 1 to 7 with Ken.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Work on the Kamae, the displacements and learn the technique – movement of the Jo and the Ken.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   Jodori's 1st defense against grab and 1st counterattack defense (Choku Tsuki).

   1st Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Firstly, with the Jo, the expansion of energy (Ateri) in the encounter (De - ai) through it, both in the gripping and attacking situation.

   Secondly, with the Ken, see the application of the mnemonic rule: “Aikido is Irimi – Atemi”.

   This is done by applying the Tsugi ashi displacement, entering as close as possible onto the Uke to avoid the Shomenuchi cut.

Technical Planning

         Saturday 7th

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

    The objective is to address the work on Awases (practice between partners), both with the Jo and with the Ken.

    Basic exercise:

   I work in pairs, walking through the hallway.

   While walking, a contact exercise will be performed by opening and closing, while maintaining the correct Ma – ai, both with the Jo and the Ken.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, practice walking correctly while maintaining the correct mid-guard (Chudan no Kamae).

   Secondly, learn to maintain contact within the dynamic.

   Thirdly, practice opening with the weapons without losing extension, that is, work on adhesion.

   I work with implements:

   I work with Makiwara using the Tsuki attack, both with the Jo and the Ken.

   Having the reference of the correct Ma – ai as if working with a partner.

   Keep in mind that the distances are different with each weapon!

   Esto se hará con el desplazamiento de Tsugi ashi y con el de Irimi ashi.

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

   What is the purpose of this element?

   In the work of each of the Awases, one must be aware that they have several movements, which must be connected to each other without intermittency appearing.

   This is also taken into account when one is finished and the next one has to be done in the order in which they are arranged.

   That's the reason for applying the energy to keep going. That's how you learn to connect the different steps and the different pieces that make up the exercise.

   Learning elements to practice at this level: Within the role of Uke, integrate action – reaction.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   That the actions with the Awases are linked within their technical cadence means that both Uke and Tori have to react within the action for which each one is responsible.

    The technical work will be:

   Awases from 1 to 3 with Jo.

   Awases from 1 to 3 with Ken.

   The Awases practice will have two phases:

   a) Do each Awase separately to understand its technical structure.

   b) Perform the three Awases in one go. First from the role of Tori, and then from the role of Uke.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, learn the dynamics of the different Awases with their respective details.

   Secondly, work on focusing on the partner, that is, exercise Zanshin or the spirit of the gesture throughout the action of the Awases, that is, at the beginning, during the action and at the end and beginning of the next Awase.

   In all these phases, the mental presence of the practitioners must be constant, fluid, and flexible.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   3 Jodori defense counter-attack and 3 defense counter-attack (Choku Tsuki).

   3 Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Increase the number of empty-handed defenses within different contexts that are exposed.

   Also see different technical contexts within Tori's role

Technical Planning

         Saturday 7th

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

    The goal is to begin with the Kumijo and the Kumitachis, that is, the pre-established fights within the Kihon

Each student should assess whether they can access this level required at this time; if they do not have the appropriate ability or experience, it is better to choose a less demanding level and time.

   Why is that warning being issued?

   Because some things will be assumed to be known – the basics established in previous sessions. This is done to advance within the technical context while simultaneously raising the level of work.

    Basic exercise:

   Working in pairs, performing the Shomenuchi cut in the rider position (Kiba dachi ), while tilting from side to side to allow the partner's cut to deflect.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Firstly, strengthening of the legs by exercising in the rider's position.

   Secondly, I work with the central axis by swinging from side to side.

   Thirdly, awareness through the oscillation of body weight between one leg and the other, along with the contact of the 8 points of support with the ground (root).

   Fourth, work on synchronization between the Time, the oscillation and the cut.

   I work with implements:

   Trabajo sobre la plataforma de equilibrios manteniendo la guardia media (Chudan no Kamae) con las dos armas.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, control over foot support.

   This exercise leads the student to confront their reality regarding the contact they establish with the ground, or in other words, what level of rootedness they possess.

   Secondly, practice and control your Tanden or center of gravity.

   Thirdly, it will provide the student with many proprioceptive resources so necessary to be able to feel in the technical action in any role they perform.

    We will pay special attention to awakening the spirit of vitality.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   That the action of the Kumijo and the Kumitachis is very lively, that is basically being light and rooted at the same time in order to be able to respond to the action of the other.

   On the other hand, the body movement and technique at this point must be very free and precise, given that these are advanced elements within Aikijo and Aikiken.

   For these basic reasons, the spirit of vitality must bubble up within the practitioners in their technical action.

   Learning elements to practice at this level: Within the Kamae section, focus on the Hara and maintain it there.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Having reached this point and from here on, working from the Hara becomes essential to empower the practice of each student.

   Concentration in the lower abdomen is a meditation exercise and, in the context we are dealing with now, it is a dynamic meditation in action through weapons, that is to say, the student must project all his work from that area.

   Understanding the concept well is just as important as knowing how to develop it within the context of Keiko, but to provide some starting points with the aim of making things easier for the students attending the seminar, two things must be kept in mind:

   Working with your gaze.

   And contact with weapons from the very moment the encounter occurs (De – ai).

   Both aspects will be explained in person and in detail before starting this section.

    The technical work will be:

   Kumijo 1 and 2.

   Kumitachi 1 and 2.

   The practice of pre-arranged fights will have two phases:

   a) Make each Kumijo and each Kumitachi separately to understand their technical structure.

   b) Perform both Kumijo and both Kumitachi in one hit, first from the role of Tori, and then later from the role of Uke.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, get started with Kumijo and Kumitachis.

   Secondly, to increase technical knowledge with both weapons by working at this level.

   Thirdly, to have greater physical dexterity, which will subsequently have an impact on other educational aspects of Aikido.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   5 Jodori defense counter-attack and 5 defense counter-attack (Choku Tsuki).

   5 Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack..

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Expand technical responses to attacks with both weapons.

Technical Planning

         Saturday 7th

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

    The goal is to make a big qualitative leap, because we will be working on the most advanced part of the weapons according to the principles of Aikido.

   At this point, it is very difficult, due to time constraints, to work on both weapons at the same time in the same session, as has been done in all previous plans.

   So, the plan for these last few hours will be as follows: today, Saturday, we will work on Kumijos, and the fourth hour on Sunday will be about Kumitachis.

   The vision in both cases is to use Kumijos and Kumitachis as a base, but at a certain moment in the execution, to make use of the body or the weapon to disarm, control or project the partner.

   A part of Kumijo (in a basic exercise) will be selected - a priori the most complex in a general sense - so that the technical execution is favored and there is greater fluidity while less time is wasted when it is executed.

       Basic exercises:

   For Kumijo No. 1.

   In the final phase, from the Tori's role, position yourself correctly so that later, in the technical phase, you can apply the body movement with the empty-hand technique that will be executed (it will be Kotegaeshi).

   Within the Kumijo form, priority will be given to displacement – ​​positioning in the last phase of the movement, before applying the technique.

   For Kumijo No. 2.

   Yokomenuchi exercise with attack at Gedan level (lower body), -Uke work-. Tori defends and strikes the Uke's Jo.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Facilitate the subsequent technical execution in the variation that occurs within the Kumijos and Kumitachis.

   I work with implements:

   Exercise with Makiwara percussion in the way it will be applied in Kumijo.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, the correct body positioning to perform the extension cut.

   Secondly, awareness of the legs when attacking the partner's Jo with the whole body + the weapon.

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

   What is the purpose of this element?

   That the action-reaction between the Uke and the Tori during the Kumijos dynamics be well understood.

   Learning element to practice at this level: To coordinate the external with the internal, the mind and the body.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   That there be a harmonious movement (Kimusubi) between the technique, the action with the weapons and the execution between the two students.

    The technical work will be done:

   1st Kumijo of Kihon.

   Based on this Kumijo, we apply the 1st body movement by executing an empty-hand technique.

   2nd Kumijo of Kihon.

   Based on this Kumijo, we finished by attacking the partner Jo with our own.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Clearly distinguish the part that belongs to Kihon and where the body or Jo is used for the completion of Kumijo as a variant.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 8th

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

    The objective pursued in this hour – level, is to finish establishing the foundation that was started on Saturday, while expanding it with new content.

       Basic exercises:

   1st Shihogiri (working in 4 directions) and Hapogiri (working in 8 directions).

   With Jo (in Shomenuchi) and with Ken (in Yokomenuchi).

   2nd Basic Ukemis with the Jo and with the Ken.

   First, the Ukemis will be done solo, then they will be done in pairs with the goal of feeling the projection of the partner and acquiring fluidity in the rolling action and that the weapon is not a hindrance, that is, that the student already has it integrated into the rolling action.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   In the first case (Shihogiri and Hapogiri), do a superior job by changing the attack when performing these two exercises using the displacement lines on the ground.

   In the second case (the Ukemis), learn the body movement with the Ukemis while having the weapon with you.

   This will give the student confidence and improve their rolling technique. Remember that both hands are occupied holding the weapons!

   So we must use our bodies properly to avoid self-harm.

   I work with implements: I work with Makiwara on the Shomenuchi attack, both with Jo and with Ken.

   You will have the correct Ma-ai reference point as if you were working with a partner. Keep in mind that the distances are different for each weapon!

   This will be done with the displacements of Tsugi ashi and Irimi ashi.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, learn to use both types of movements in a practical way and have the correct distance to be able to cut on the Makiwara comfortably and while being centered and rooted.

   Secondly, learn to cut with both weapons, that means, unloading the cut onto the Makiwara using the correct body mechanics.

    The part of the structure to which we will dedicate special attention is the use of the legs.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   With both hands occupied with weapons, it becomes "easier" to focus attention on the use of supports , ankles and knees, aspects that connect directly with correct Kamae and, therefore, with the use of the legs.

   Learning element to practice at this level: within the walking section: control the supports with which you step on the tatami.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Becoming aware of the foundation of the Kamae, which will then allow a good boost in the different movements – actions within any technical situation.

    The technical work will be:

   Suburis from the 11th to the 20th with Jo.

   Attitude work with Ken.

   1st Practice among 4, three Ukes and one Tori: basic movement related to the Iriminage technique.

   2nd Practice in pairs, basic movement related to the Iriminage technique with double attack by the Uke, who will do it in Shomenuchi.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   In the case of Jo, complete the missing Suburis within its technical base.

   In the case of Ken, the first thing is to learn how to close the Tori with three Ukes so that he cannot escape, that is, to know how to use the space to the benefit of the Ukes.

   The shape to consider for this is the triangle. It will be explained in detail in person when we cover this section.

   The second thing is to generate the attitude and body ease taking into account the Iriminage technique within the context of the saber.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   2 Jodori counter-attack defense and 2 counter-attack defense (Choku Tsuki).

   2 Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, a review of the Jodori and Taichidori that was seen on Saturday, while adding a new one, because the work is cumulative as we progress through the content.

   Secondly, we accumulate knowledge and body memory through weapons as we add new content.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 8th

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

    The objective at this level is to complete the work of the Awases, both with the Jo and with the Ken that began on Saturday.

    Basic exercise:

   I work in pairs walking through a hallway:

   With the Jo, Uke attacks with Choku Tsuki, Tori responds also with Choku Tsuki by retreating – moving away and attacking Uke's side.

   With the Ken, Uke attacks in Shomenuchi. Tori also responds with Shomenuchi, cutting the Kote (wrists) of the partner by retreating, once on the front hand and the next time on the rear hand of Uke.

   This means that he moves from one side of the Uke's attack line to the other.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Firstly, backward movement increases the difficulty of the work and the coordination of the action, but it will greatly improve footwork.

   Secondly, work on the synchronization of movement between the Uke and the Tori.

   Thirdly, on the part of the Tori, practice precision – control of the cut over the partner's wrists.

   I work with implements:

   I work with Makiwara using 2 attacks, both with the Jo and the Ken.

   The attacks are Tsuki (in the case of Ken, performed by both sides) and Shomenuchi.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, learn to chain two attacks together without any interruption between them.

   Secondly, gain body ease when chaining the two attacks together.

   Thirdly, learn to execute both attacks, that is, poking and cutting forcefully on the Makiwara.

   This will give the student a realistic understanding of these attacks.

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

   What is the purpose of this element?

   We continue with the same energy as on Saturday, because new Awases are being incorporated and we have to apply it to these new exercises to integrate their content.

   Learning element to practice at this level: Within the section on movement, use your legs to move and keep your torso loose.

   What is the purpose of this element?

    The aim is to avoid overworking the upper body, because that will reduce mobility and precision within the technical context of the different Awases.

    The technical work will be:

   Awases from 4 to 8 with Jo.

   Awases from 4 to 7 with Ken.

   The Awases practice will have two phases:

   a) Do each Awase separately to understand its technical structure.

   b) Perform the three Awases in one go, first from the role of Tori, and then later from the role of Uke.

    For students attending both days, the execution will be from 1 to 8 of the Jo Awases and from 1 to 7 for the Ken Awases.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   This last phase of the Awases is the most advanced within this section, so a lot of attention will be paid to Time, adherence, continuity, action-reaction, etc.

   All these aspects are key to having a flexible and fluid body movement – ​​technique within the technical framework of this practice among partners.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   4 Jodori defense counter-attack and 4 defense counter-attack (Choku Tsuki).

   4 Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   With this load of content, -8 techniques with both weapons-, it tests not only the student's body memory and technique, but also the check of their resources with cognitive abilities.

   If we want to prioritize one of these resources, it would be memory within its broad range.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 8th

    3rd hour of Sunday from 11:00 to 12:00, 3rd Kyu level.

    The goal is to continue progressing with Kumijos and Kumitachis.

   Both the exercises and the work with the equipment will be more difficult, with the goal of encouraging students to reach a higher level in their practice.

    Basic exercise:

   Standing on the balls of the feet, make cuts (Shomenuchi) by flexing and stretching the legs while maintaining balance on the tips of the toes, while positioning the body at different heights when cutting (up and down).

   It will be done in two ways:

   The first one, on the same tatami to initially have a clear reference on the exercise in question.

   The second exercise will be done by placing the toes on a step to increase the difficulty and body control due to the vacuum created on most of the soles of the feet.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, strengthening the legs.

   Secondly, I work on structural equilibrium.

   Thirdly, the extension of the cut has the added difficulty of maintaining balance on the metatarsals.

   Fourth, the awareness of the Tandem – axis through the action of going down and up.

   Fifth, the synchronization between breathing, going down, going up, and cutting.

   Sixth, let go – relax your shoulders despite the pressure the exercise will exert on your body – quite a challenge!

   I work with implements:

   We continue working on the balance platform, but now we are going to increase the difficulty by cutting in Shomenuchi with both weapons while standing on the platform.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, avoid straining the shoulder, chest, back, and arm areas.

   Secondly, to increase our awareness in the lower abdomen.

   Third, do not neglect the extent of the Shomenuchi cut while on the balance board.

    We will pay attention to ensuring the body is upright and loose, so that we can face an attack from any direction in space.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   The first thing is to cultivate the appropriate muscle tone in the different parts of the body involved in the action being performed.

   Secondly, work with a low Kamae to facilitate the anchoring of the posture.

   It must be remembered that with the Jo and with the Ken, the width of the feet of the Kamae is different!

   Learning element to practice at this level: within the section on walking, feeling light, but at the same time grounded.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Within the action of Kumijo and Kumitachi, feel light, agile, and connected to the ground in every action that occurs.

    The technical work will be:

   Kumijo 3 and 4.

   Kumitachi 3 and 4.

   The practice of pre-arranged fights will have two phases:

   a) Make each Kumijo and each Kumitachi separately to understand their technical structure.

   b) Perform both Kumijo and both Kumitachi in one hit, first from the role of Tori, and then later from the role of Uke.

    For students attending both days, the performance will consist of 4 Kumijo and 4 Kumitachi.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Increase technique – resources with both weapons, as well as the physical development of the students.

   Because as the Kumijo and Kumitachi progress, the circumstances that arise, such as the technical skills, become increasingly complex, therefore, the demands also increase.

   Jodori and Taichidori.

   6 Jodori defense counter-attack and 6 defense counter-attack (Choku Tsuki).

   6 Taichidori with the Shomenuchi attack.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   Continue increasing technical knowledge when defending oneself unarmed against weapons attacks.

Technical Planning

         Sunday 8th

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

    The objective, as mentioned in the fourth hour on Saturday, is, based on the Kumitachis, to at a certain moment use the body or the Ken to control or project the partner.

   Let us remember that a part of the Kumitachi (in the basic exercise) will be extracted - a priori the most complex in a general sense - so that the technical execution is favored and there is greater fluidity while at the same time less time is wasted.

    Basic exercise:

   Learn to cut (crotch and wrists) from Gedan to Chudan, that is, from bottom to top.

   It will be done in pairs and with contact sabers (provided by the seminar organizers) to get a better feel for the cut so that there are no accidents and also to check that the attack of the Tori is reached or deterred.

    Then in the application in the technical section, it will be done with the wooden Ken, with the aim of expanding the self-control of the Uke.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Learn to cut the groin or wrist. This aspect is key in the Uke's first action when facing the 1st Kumitachi.

   I work with implements:

   Exercise with Makiwara performing Taren uchi in Kiba dachi (rider stance), in blocks of 50 uninterrupted cuts.

   This will have 2 phases:

   The first one, with the rider's posture low (maintaining the same height) and performing the 50 cuts.

   The second one, going up – inhaling and going down – cutting – exhaling until reaching the rider's position, and so on until completing the second 50 cuts.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   First, strengthen your legs, then move lightly in the Kumitachi work.

   Secondly, obtain – experience the sensation of cutting, both while standing still and while lowering – exhaling.

    Attention will be paid to the movements, ensuring that the steps follow the body.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   That the center of gravity (Tanden) is well positioned, that is, that at no time is the buttocks brought back in the different actions of the Kumitachi.

   Learning element to practice at this level: It is, to distinguish fullness and emptiness in the legs.

   What is the purpose of this element?

   Firstly, that there is always a good Kamae within the work of the Ken.

   Secondly, the front knee should always be level with the big toe of the front foot.

   Third, make a clear distinction in body weight between the two legs.

    The technical work will be done:

   Kumitachi No. 1 by Kihon.

   1st Movement of the saber to control the partner.

   1st Body movement to project the partner.

   2nd movement of the saber to control the partner.

   2nd Body movement to project the partner.

   If you want to advance – to make MORE and BETTER use of this hour of work, in the following video you have Kumitachi nº 1 executed in a basic way, with the Uke cutting the wrist.

   If you practice on it for a month beforehand, you will be able to do a superior job with the movement of the saber and the body.

   Absolutely! This is a choice for the student who is fully committed and wants to progress in their studies, while also wanting to make the most of their investment in the seminar.

   What is the purpose of these elements?

   First, learn Kumitachi number one.

   Secondly, see the difference between using the body and using Ken to control – project the partner.

   Thirdly, to EXPERIMENTALLY APPREHEND what Ha means, how it is done and how it can be applied in practice at this level of evolution (still within Kihon), in order to gain a better understanding of the technical work that is proposed, in this case, on Kumitachi No. 1.

   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 .
