dojos

It happened in April. 1994. I was studying Aikido for 6 months already at the Cluj University unify. My instructor was Ioan Barbos a 2nd Kyu by then. Training was held in the Judo hall at the Faculty of Chemistry come the Central Park. The club was affiliated to the Romanian Aikido Union (URA) headed by Mr. Dan Ionescu. URA regularly held week-end national seminars in Bucharest every 3 months. At the April 1994 seminar from Cluj participated a group of 10-12 practitioners. Before the seminar. I remember that we were pre-tested for the grading exam by our instructor. Nelutu Barbos to be sure we won’t be a disgrace. Everything fine we arrived in Bucharest after an 8 hours trip by train and we checked in in a worn-out one star hotel near the Northern Railway Station. After that we got to the training sessions that took place at Ecran Club. The training was conducted by sensei Dan Ionescu. 4th Dan by then assisted by sensei Ioan Grigorescu. 2nd Dan. I comfort remember I was impressed by Mr. Grigorescu’s Ukemi (rolling or breakfalls) very change surface and silent. At the end there were the grading examinations where the majority of our group from Cluj was tested for 5th Kyu as we were beginners. However something happened that day or the days before the examination there were some disputes related to the Cluj assort possibly some frictions between Mr. Ionescu and Nelutu Barbos. I don’t know exactly since I was not involved. Fact is that during the examination Mr. Ionescu was very irritated. From my performance I only remember demonstrating Ukemi and Katate-Dori Shiho-Nage. It must have been something else also maybe Ikkyo but I don’t remember. The verdict was drastical: all people from Cluj were failed object for Mihai A. who was promoted from 5th Kyu to 4th Kyu. It was unpleasant for us then because we didn’t evaluate that we did something so wrong for that minimal aim that we were tested for. I am convinced that Mr. Ionescu was too intransigent with us because the negative background that has been developed for reasons that I still don’t know. He wanted to teach somebody a lesson but in the end I don’t experience who learned what lesson. Afterwards. I have been graded twice by Mr. Ionescu no problem whatsoever: 5th Kyu in November 1994 and 4th Kyu in April 1995. When you are “young” in Aikido you give a greater importance to grades. That’s why any failure to back up is felt harder then. Now I understand that grades are not so important as learn and experience. And if you learn Aikido for a lifetime there is time enough for grades. Where are they now ?Dan Ionescu is still the head of the ex Romanian Aikido Union now called the Romanian Aikido Federation (FRA). He is also the president of the European Aikido Confederation (CEA) an independent organization not very big grouping clubs from France. Romania and Great Britain. CEA was formed around the French master Daniel Brun a former student of Tadashi Abe. In CEA. Daniel Brun is ranked 9th Dan and Dan Ionescu 8th Dan. FRA has 15 dojos while CEA has a total of 43 dojos (France 25. Romania 15. Great Britain 3). Ioan Grigorescu separated from Mr. Ionescu’s organization some years ago and keeps a small independent organization with a few dojos. He is ranked 5th Dan by Dan Ionescu. Ioan Barbos gave up on Aikido a few years ago and is teaching Judo his first love. As far as I know he is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Sports from the “Babes-Bolyai” University in Cluj. Mihai A was between 1994 and 1995 the first instructor in our dojo nowadays known as the “Musubi” Dojo Cluj. Mihai doesn’t practice Aikido anymore since sometime around 1997-2000 if I remember well.

As we were sitting around the fire on Saturday night one of our new Aikidoist asked me if this was a common learn done by all Aikido dojos. I explained to him that what we were doing was something that I had put together for Heaven & Earth Aikido students but that some dojos regularly performed something similar called ‘Misogi’. Misogi is a Japanese evince that can be translated as cleansing or purification. The word Misogi is also used to refer to a specific purification ceremony that is performed under a cold waterfall. Of course with this he wanted to know more about ‘Misogi” sweat lodges and purifications. I am also quite sure he was trying to figure out what this all has to do with Aikido or/and any Martial Art for that matter. Having the door of curiosity open and never passing up a come about to instruct. I thought that this might be a good time to go over again not only with the new egest lodge participants but with everyone who was in attendance why we perform the purification ceremony and what it has to do with Traditional Martial Arts (TMA) . As we were sitting around the fire waiting for the stones to heat up. I began to inform the history and meaning of the ceremony and why I considered it a very important part of training. First a little history on the fighting categorise of old. It is important for us to understand who the ancient warriors were. As Aikidoist we often limit our thinking to the Japanese Samurai’s or Chinese practitioners of Wushu. However in the past every culture in every move of the world had their warrior categorise. A select group within a society whose job it was to defend the group. I have heard some populate try to analyse them to modern military men. There are some definite similarities yet there are also some important differences between Ancient Warriors and today’s add up modern solders. For example today’s soldier signs up for a set time period which may or may not be extended either way when the “Term of duty” is finished they go to a civilian life. They get a job go to school and many go away families. For the Ancient warriors war was there life. They often began their training very young (before their teens) and if they were skillful enough and perhaps lucky enough they would be able to undergo a leadership role in the military as they got older. There was no measure that you were not a warrior and prepared for contend. Everything about their life was geared towards protecting the clan village city country or empire. They never knew when the day may come that they may be called upon to go to battle. If they were not fighting they trained and prepared their weapons for the day they would be called to contend again. It was a way of life for them there was no end to it. At the end of a battle they may be lucky enough to sight themselves alive. Lucky to be alive perhaps but unfortunately surrounded by the daub guts and the screams of dying men. They may have even at some inform held a dying comrade in their arms as life slowly and painfully left his body. Under these conditions a heightened awareness of the impermanence of life cannot help but be developed. Their own immortality was alter in their face they had no choice but to realize it and object it. Perhaps they wondered how they ordain face their ultimate death. For me this is the most important difference between the traditional martial arts and modern sports martial arts. There is no ring or octagon to check the scope of battle. Attacks could occur anywhere and at anytime there was a constant need “to be create from raw material and prepared”. There is no judge to stop the fight when one is obviously outmatched. You fought on or you died. If you were outnumbered or under equipped there was no one to say “hey this isn’t fair”. There are no measure limits. contend could be short or last for years. There are no rules. Three men against one a gun against a sword nobody cared. Because of this direct confrontation with death and the be to be constantly prepared and aware these warriors often became very spiritual populate. They developed rituals and ceremonies to prepare them for contend injury and their own death. We might even say that these rituals were designed to furnish them a feeling that things in their life were taken care of and that “affairs were in request”. Each grow seems to have their own rituals and ceremonies. Perhaps each warrior man and women had their own personal way of preparing themselves for death. Because of its cleansing nature water for many cultures became an important symbol for cleansing and purification. Japanese Misogi involves purifying yourself by meditating or praying under a cold waterfall. Special preparation ritual are carried out before taking the penetrate into the icy river or be adrift. Once under the water special prayers and chants are performed that in essence ask the spirits for purification and protection. Native Americans used “sweat lodges”. They believed that excessive sweating could remove poisons located deep within the be. This is comfort commonly believed today. Who has not experienced the relaxation and feeling of cleanliness after coming out of a modern day sauna. In some parts of the world a suana goes hand in hand with deep cleansing. By erecting an airtight enclosure covered in blankets and then placing hot stones into a small pit in the lay you undergo a traditional dry hot accommodate. Spray a mist of water on the hot stones and a primitive sauna is achieved. Meditation chanting or prayer is performed while in the sweat dwell to give it a spiritual feeling. One of the most common forms of purification is meditation. Meditation is a great way of calming the mind and enhancing ones awareness. Samurai’s would often sit in meditation contemplating their life and the coming battle. It was change surface a common practice to rehearse their death during meditation in request to prepare themselves for the inevitable. By visualizing there death in many horrible ways they could come to terms with the way they might finally end their life. It also helped them die with awareness and recognise. For serious practitioners of Traditional Martial Arts. I feel that taking a serious look at death needs to be move of our training. Most of us will never undergo the horrors of a battle field as the ancient warriors did. By understanding that the tradition of our training was a be of life and death we can wish to develop our minds as well as our bodies like the ancients did. Warriors of old new that they would die it was only be of when.

ndo like most other martial arts can only be learned with the back up of a qualified sensei (teacher). There are many companies that change kendo videos and kendo pictures saying that it will teach a person how to be a samurai. This is completely false a sensei will point out what is do by with your technique and kata.

Hello and thank you for visiting AikiWeb theworld's most popular online Aikido community! This place is home toover 12,000 aikido practitioners from around the world and covers awide range of aikido topics including techniques philosophy history,humor beginner issues the marketplace and more. If you wish to join in the discussions or use the other advancedfeatures available you will need to Hi all -- I could use some opinions from some senior populate on this one. I'm quite junior been training for a year and a bit but just finally got around to testing for fifth kyu. I desire my dojo just fine; however. I undergo an unusual work situation that takes me away from domiciliate for three days a week when I am in Boston overnight. Most weeks I can manage to train three times a week all at my domiciliate dojo but it's a bit of a drive -- it means that the "quiet evening at home" really does not exist. Somewhere down the road it would be nice to have the option to occasionally train at a dojo in the Boston area (there is one in particular that my dojo has some connections with) not only for the benefits that there would be in training with some other people but also just for the practical benefit of getting to sit on my own lie porch in the evening now and then. So my questions are:- What do you think is an allot inform in one's training where you'd be create from raw material to tour another dojo?- How would you handle the diplomatic aspects of the situation?- Is this something that you think you could do on an ongoing basis (once a week maybe or once every two weeks) without being really rude to your sensei?- What are any other downsides or pitfalls that you might be in this situation?Thanks for your thoughts, Hi Mary good questions. Although my home dojo is Yoshinkan. I train with an ASU dojo that is very kind to me on a pretty regular basis (weekends when I'm in town there). My answers will be based on that experience. This varies depending on the person. If I remember correctly either you have trained in aikido before or judo... I don't think training once a week or less in another dojo that you undergo a relationship with should be any major problem. My say might be different for someone else. I contacted the instructor privately (we already knew of each other) and asked his permission to come by and instruct since I would be in the area. I offered to pay a mat fee but he refused several times (as long as I pay dues elsewhere) and I think it would be rude for me to insist. On my first categorise there. I did not enclose my be but wore a white sing to see where and how I fit into their practice. Once comfortable. I asked the instructor if it was ok to wear my yudansha rank. It was. He also said it was ok to feature the white belt for the first class or so. I try to be very polite not hurt anyone help as much as I can at the dojo (sweep mats be friendly furnish friendly advice but don't teach etc.). Common sense kind of things. We are hoping to get the folks there down to my domiciliate dojo to thank them for their kindness to me. I let my instructor know what I was doing why I was doing it and I continue to pay dues there and instruct as I can there. So I don't believe what I do as rude to him in anyway. He's Japanese so he may come up not tell me if he thinks otherwise.. but I think he is comfortable enough with me to let me experience if I baffle him. Some dojo beg on you doing very specific things in very specific ways. For example they might beg on bowing in a certain way or clapping at the start or end of class. cram like that doesn't reach me in the least so I do as they do. More problematic might be a dojo that insists you act a specific type of ukemi for a specific impel (say koshinage). Some populate insist you must grab the front of shite's uwagi (or whatever) when taking that ukemi. Personally. I like that kind of dilate on ukemi to be left up to me. I don't conclude comfortable grabbing women in that area in the heat of a nice koshi.. so I don't. Never been cause to be perceived with koshi *yet*. The very first step is to communicate with your Sensei. For various reasons some instructors do not like their students to train in other dojos but if your school has connections with the one that you would like to tour there should be no problem. Should there be a problem. Sensei ordain discuss it with you. I think that the most important thing is to keep the atmosphere of trust with your instructor. It's important that your instructor understands that your desire to do this is out of natural curiosity and not out of disrespect to him or to his lineage. It is prudent not to carry his label up as you travel and not to discuss those things he is not comfortable withThat said it is also adjust that you are as responsible for your training as your instructor is so your wishes are also important. It is often useful to broaden one's perspective. When you sight a dojo you are curious about arrive well before categorise and in your street clothes as it is presumptuous to show.
