Sigeho Tanaka – Aikido Throws
AIKIDO Morihei Ueshiba founded Aikido (, aikid?) as a fusion of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious convictions.
Aikido is sometimes translated as “the Way of uniting (with) life force” or “the Way of the Harmonious Spirit.” Ueshiba’s objective was to develop a martial art that would allow practitioners to defend themselves while simultaneously protecting their assailant from harm.
Aikido is practiced by blending with the attacker’s movements and deflecting the force of the assault rather than directly confronting it.
This needs relatively little physical power since the aikidka (aikido practitioner) uses entering and turning motions to “guide” the attacker’s momentum.
The methods are finished with a variety of throws or joint locks.
Aikido falls within the wide category of grappling arts.
Aikido is primarily derived from the martial art of Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu, but began to depart from it in the late 1920s, due in part to Ueshiba’s participation with the moto-ky cult.
The phrase aiki-jjutsu appears in records written by Ueshiba’s early students.
[4] Depending on when they learned with Ueshiba, many of his older pupils have varied perspectives to aikido.
Today, aikido is practiced in a variety of styles across the world, with varying degrees of interpretation and focus.
However, they all share Ueshiba-taught tactics, and most are concerned about the attacker’s safety.
Aikido is made out of three kanji: ai – loving, connecting, unifying, merging, fit
– ki – spirit, vitality, mood, morale
– d – route, path
Outside of Budo, the term ‘aiki’ does not exist frequently in the Japanese language.
This has resulted in several different meanings of the term.
is mostly used in compounds to express “combine, unite, join together, meet,” with examples such as (combined/united). 合成(composition) (connect together/join together) 連合(union/alliance/association) 統合(combine/unify) 合意 (mutual agreement).
In addition to the concept of reciprocity (to get to know one another) 話し合い(talk/discussion/negotiation) 待ち合わせる(meet by appointment) (meet by appointment).
is frequently used as an emotion, as in (‘I feel,’ as in thinking but with less cognitive reasoning) (feeling/sensation) 気分(mood/morale).
Also Force or energy.
電気(electricity) 磁気 (magnetism).
The term d refers to the philosophical notion of Tao, which may be found in martial arts like judo and kendo, as well as more peaceful arts like Japanese calligraphy (shod), flower arrangement (kad), and tea ceremony (chad or sad).
As a result, from a purely language standpoint, we may say Aikido is a “way of mixing forces.”
Aiki is a martial arts philosophy or method that involves integrating with an attacker’s motions in order to control their activities with minimum effort.
Aiki is used by recognizing the rhythm and aim of the attacker in order to locate the best position and timing to perform a counter-technique.
This thus is quite close to Kano Jigoro’s beliefs when he established Judo.
History
Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba (14 December 1883-26 April 1969), also known as sensei by certain aikido practitioners (“Great Teacher”).
Ueshiba saw aikido as a synthesis of his martial training as well as an expression of his own ideology of world peace and reconciliation.
Aikido has grown from the kory (old-style martial arts) that Ueshiba learned into a broad variety of manifestations by martial artists all over the world during Ueshiba’s lifetime and continues to do so now.
preliminary development
Sokaku Takeda
Ueshiba essentially created aikido from the late 1920s to the 1930s by combining the earlier martial disciplines he had learned.
The primary martial art from which aikido stems is Dait-ry aiki-jjutsu, which Ueshiba learned directly with the reviver of that art, Takeda Sokaku.
Ueshiba is also known to have studied Tenjin Shin’y-ry with Tozawa Tokusabur in Tokyo in 1901, Gotha Yagy Shingan-ry with Nakai Masakatsu in Sakai from 1903 to 1908, and judo with Kiyoichi Takagi in Tanabe in 1911.
The major technical influence for aikido is the art of Dait-ry.
Along with empty-handed throwing and joint-locking methods, Ueshiba integrated weapon training motions such as spear (yari), short staff (j), and maybe bayonet (, jken?).
However, most of the technical framework of aikido is derived from the art of swordsmanship (kenjutsu).
In 1915, Ueshiba traveled to Hokkaido and began studying under Takeda Sokaku.
His formal relationship with Dait-ry lasted until 1937.
However, towards the end of that era, Ueshiba had begun to distance himself from Takeda and the Dait-ry.
Ueshiba referred to his martial art at the time as “Aiki Bud.”
Although it is unknown when Ueshiba first used the term “aikido,” it became the official name of the art in 1942, when the Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society (Dai Nippon Butoku Kai) was involved in a government-sponsored reform and consolidation of Japanese martial arts.
Religious factors
Deguchi, Onisaburo
After leaving Hokkaido in 1919, Ueshiba met and was strongly affected by Onisaburo Deguchi, the spiritual head of the Ayabe-based moto-ky cult (a neo-Shinto movement).
One of the key characteristics of moto-ky is its emphasis on achieving paradise in one’s life.
This had a significant impact on Ueshiba’s martial arts concept of offering love and compassion to those who wish to hurt others.
This principle is demonstrated by Aikido’s emphasis on learning martial arts such that one may accept an assault and harmlessly redirect it.
In a perfect resolution, both the receiver and the attacker are unhurt.
In addition to influencing his spiritual growth, Ueshiba’s friendship with Deguchi provided him with access to elite political and military circles as a martial artist.
As a consequence of his visibility, he was able to recruit not just financial support but also talented pupils.
Several of these pupils went on to develop their own aikido styles.
Worldwide distribution
Minoru Mochizuki introduced aikido to the rest of the world in 1951 on a tour to France, where he taught aikido methods to judo students.
Tadashi Abe, the official Aikikai Hombu envoy, arrived in France in 1952 and stayed for seven years.
In 1953, Kenji Tomiki traveled the United States with a delegation of diverse martial arts visiting fifteen continental states.
Later that year, Aikikai Hombu dispatched Koichi Tohei to Hawaii for a full year, where he established multiple dojo.
This was followed by numerous other visits and is regarded as the formal introduction of aikido to the United States.
The UK followed in 1955, Italy in 1964, and Germany and Australia in 1965.
Morihei Ueshiba appointed Masamichi Noro as “Official Delegate for Europe and Africa” in September 1961.
Aikido dojo may now be found all over the world.
There isn’t much to say about the sensei or instructor in this video, although he appears to have exceptional expertise.
Almost majority of the methods are demonstrated without speaking, but the yelling and rhythm can be heard.
The names of the methods are in Japanese.
Please accept my apologies.
