この二日間はすこし寒が緩み小春日和となりました。少しだけ寒さが緩んだだけでも、肩を丸めて歩かなくても良い感覚は久々であり、普段から縮こまって生活しているなぁと体を緩める必要性を感じます。さて今日の稽古は
遊び稽古
１体操
２熊歩き、蜘蛛歩き
３膝行
４二教の手捌き
５逆半身片手取り呼吸投げ（受け身練習）
本稽古
１合気体操
２足捌き
３受け身
４逆半身片手取り一教裏（後ろ転身）
５逆半身片手取り一教表（転身）
６逆半身片手取り四方投げ表（転身）
７呼吸法
さて、次にまたこの江田島国際合気道の２回目の昇級試験も控えてますので、それに向かって技を学んでいきます。足捌きが複雑な技も、一つずつやっていくことでみなさんの理解が進んでいることに驚きます。今日やった技は四級の技がほとんどですが、ちゃんとこれから五級を受ける方も理解されていましたので、演武会やいろいろな稽古会を経る中で、この道場自体が全体的な合気道の理解の水準が向上していることを実感し嬉しく思います。
Over the past two days, the cold has eased, and it’s become a bit like a warm spring day. Even with just a slight relief from the cold, the sensation of not needing to hunch the shoulders while walking is a refreshing change. It makes me realize how much I’ve been living with tension in my body and the need to loosen up.
Now, for today’s training:
Playful Exercises:
- Physical exercises
- Bear walk, spider walk
- Knee walking
- Movements from the second teaching
- Reverse half-body single-hand grab kokyu throw (Ukemi practice)
Main Training:
- Aikido warm-up exercises
- Footwork
- Ukemi (receiving techniques)
- Reverse half-body single-hand grab, first teaching, ura (Backward turn)
- Reverse half-body single-hand grab, first teaching, omote (Forward turn)
- Reverse half-body single-hand grab, four-direction throw, omote (Forward turn)
- Breathing exercises
Next, we have the second promotion test for Etajima International Aikido, so we will continue learning techniques in preparation for that. It’s surprising to see everyone’s understanding progress as we tackle more complex footwork techniques step by step. Today’s techniques were mostly at the fourth kyu level, but even those preparing for the fifth kyu demonstrated good understanding. Through events like demonstrations and various training sessions, I’m delighted to feel that the overall level of understanding of Aikido in this dojo is improving.
