Re: If you could make one change in Aikido
Get everyone to keep their gis and belts washed and folded and to fold their hakamas properly between classes.

I would reverse the splits so that everyone could enjoy the great teachings of Tohei, Shioda, Saito, old Doshu etc together. :)

OK, since this has come to humor:
I wish the really hot women drastically outnumbered the guys. Best, |

The Serious Answer: More sensitivity drills practiced more often. Although Aikidoists frequenstly start at what may be considered boxing or kickboxing range, their technqies frequently take them to distances and angles where even if they can see uke trying something, by the time they register what their eyes are telling them, it'll be too late to do anything about it. They are just too close for the eyes to be any good. You have to feel what the other person is doing through whatever "attachments" you get. This is why Chinese martial arts have sensitivity drills; the chis sao drills in Wing Chun are a perfect examples. Filipino Martial Arts also have such drills, like hampak higot hubud lubud ("hit tie untie blend"). I know Aikido has such drills; I think there need to be more of them done more frequently, as regular a part of training as ukemi waza. Yep, that important IMHO. The not-so-serious answer: I'll endorse and combine two suggestions made previously: All nude classes where hot women outnumber men. :p :p ;) ;) :) :) We are so busted by the Thought Police if this gets out .... :eek: :D |
Re: If you could make one change in Aikido
I personally would have more emphases on the philosophy in the dojo. I know I can do this when I start my own dojo, but I feel that aikidoka would benifit greatly from these discussions. but, that is just me.

Re: If you could make one change in Aikido
I'd like there to be one...just one, that's all I ask...weapons kata for jo or bokken that was the same everywhere, so that when visiting other dojo I wouldn't be *completely* at a loss during weapons practice.
I was very surprised the other day to see someone at another school doing what looked for all the world like the first thirteen or so counts of the Ki Society jo dai-ichi taigi. The feeling of familiarity was quite muddled, however, by the fact that he was doing it with a bo! Does anyone know the origin of this thing, and whether it started out as a jo kata or a bo kata?

Re: If you could make one change in Aikido
Gosh, there are only three professional nude models in my dojo. Sorry.

Re: If you could make one change in Aikido
But seriously- I don't see a need to change aikido, just my dojo. I'd like it to be in its own space, with classes every morning and evening, including weapons, yoga and tai chi.
wouldn't mind having my work studio built in there as well... |
