By Stephen Delaney When compared to more modern forms of budō, the duty of the uke or teki in koryū bujutsu is a different kettle of fish for many reasons. The terminologies are usually the first major noticable difference; Usually the term uke is commonly translated as "one who recieves" or aite (Lit. Partner) is used in various koryū ryūha and other modern forms of budō. In swordsmanship related disciplines, the term for the antagonist in kata-geiko (kata training) is uchidachi or uketachi (Striking sword and receiving sword respectively) It's almost a "sanitized" way of referring to the person who is opposing you and trying to do you harm. The differences in connotation and application of mindset for the terms above are quite significant; Teki (Lit. Enemy) is a term used to almost condition the trainee to dehumanize the image of their training partner.

There are many ways of practicing including hard and soft approaches, training where injury never occurs or training with the idea that injuries sometimes occur since aikido is a budo. What is your opinion regarding this matter, Sensei?

Pour traiter de ce sujet, je vous propose la traduction de "Training Hard And Training Well Are Not The Same Thing" du site The Budo Bum. Peter Boylan est un pratiquant de koryu et aussi un adepte de longue date du judo.

There are 5 fundamental minds or spirits of budo; shoshin, zanshin, mushin, and fudoshin, and senshin. These very old concepts are largely ignored in the modern aikido dojo. The budoka who takes the time to understand the lessons of these 5 spirits in his heart will mature to become a strong and competent martial artist and human being. The student who does not take the time to know and embrace these spirits will always be lacking in his training.

Kata training in kendo nowadays is had via the well known and respected "nihon kendo no kata," and it has played an important part in keeping the "sword" element of kendo alive to this day. We also have the newly introduced "bokuto ni yoru kihon keiko-ho"

I was sitting with a karate sensei in his dojo one afternoon, visiting with him, when he was approached by a fellow who had come to watch the class that day. The fellow said he was interested in taking up karate, but he wondered if training might present a problem for him. He was a marathon runner, he explained, and he spent several hours a week running and traveling to races. Would karate practice interfere with that?

Another time, an acquaintance commented to me that he wanted to begin studying the art of aikido. But as an underpaid schoolteacher, he wasn't sure he could afford the club dues of $30 a month that were levied by the dojo he wanted to join. It is pertinent to add in this case that this acquaintance was a smoker who easily spent more than $30 a month on his habit.

Je crois que tout engagement sincère dans une voie (martiale ou pas) nécessite cela ... le réduire au budo est un peu étriqué ... Rilke en parle dans "Lettres a un jeunes poète" p.10 (mais tout le bouquin va dans ce sens...moins d'une 100aines de page ce n'est pas la mère a boire ) http://beq.ebooksgratuits.com/classiques/Rilke_Lettres_a_un_jeune_poete.pdf oui je sais je vais créer un topic ...

Aikibatto is a system of sword exercises, both Aikiken style bokken with partner and iaido style solo training with iaito or shinken, for learning how to handle the sword in an aiki way.

The 12 basic forms are called Seitei-Iai (Standard-Iai). They were created by the the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei (ZNKR = All Japan Kendo Federation or IKF). They are training forms, which include all important sword technics. Seitei-Iai forms will provide the

Kasumi Shintō-ryū Kenjutsu (霞神道流剣術?), or (Shintō-ryū Kenjutsu), is one of the names used to describe the collection of sword-versus-sword training-forms (kata) for the long and short sword found exclusively in the Japanese martial arts system Shintō Musō-

When we are learning a new skill, say for instance a new kata or a new type of kick, your movements may be clumsy and jerky - not at all like your instructors movements. This is because your brain has not yet laid down a memory pattern for this movement.

I got to the dojo in plenty of time last night to do a thorough warm up, stretch, do some cutting exercises and generally try to get some enthusiasm to train. I had been feeling a bit poor about my Sogiri from the last couple of sessions and so thought to just hack through some of these.

You can download the PDF of iaido kakari keiko exercises that Yamasaki sensei teaches. These are useful for building up your basic iaido skills and body condition to support the performance of iaido kata.
