今日は広島市総合体育館武道場で菅原繁師範を合気会本部よりお招きしての指導者講習会だったので、朝から夕方まで広島県の皆さんと稽古をしてから、江田島の稽古となった。さすがにややへろへろでランナーズハイのようなテンションになってしまう自分を抑えつつ細かい点は差し置いて、演武会に向けた流れの稽古とした。驚くべきは、みんなの進化だ。去年までは流れで技をすることにかなり時間がかかっていたが、横面打ちを連続で演武することは初めてなのに、明らかにできるようになるスピードが上がっている。みんながうまくなっていくのが何より嬉しい。

とにかく早く寝よう。
Today, I attended an instructors’ seminar at the Hiroshima City General Gymnasium’s martial arts hall, where we welcomed Shihan Shigeru Sugawara from the Aikikai Headquarters as our guest instructor. I spent the entire day, from morning until evening, practicing with fellow Aikido practitioners from across Hiroshima Prefecture. After that, I headed to Etajima for our regular practice.
By that point, I was pretty exhausted. I had to hold back my own excitement, which had become almost like a runner’s high. So I decided to set aside the finer details and focus on practicing a sequence of techniques in preparation for the upcoming demonstration.
What amazed me most was how much everyone had improved.
Until last year, it took quite a long time for everyone to perform techniques in a continuous flow. But although this was their first time performing a sequence of yokomen-uchi techniques, they were clearly picking things up much faster than before.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing everyone improve.
Playful practice

I have another practice session tomorrow morning. And tomorrow evening, I’ll be practicing in Higashi-Hiroshima.
How could this not be fun? (Although I suspect I’m partly trying to convince myself!)
Anyway, I should get to bed as early as possible.
