中学生の生徒から、一番難しい技を私の演武に入れて欲しいと言われました。いやあ、僕からすると全て難しい。そんな深い意味はなかったんだろうけど、こう言っては何だけど、単純な技ほど難しい。今やってもらっている動きが単純な技の方が難しいんだと思います。いやでも単純じゃなくても難しいか、全て難しい。人間関係と似てる。どんな関係も難しい。上司との関係も難しい、友達との関係も難しい、親しくなればなるほどまたさらに難しい。しかし親しい仲にも礼儀ありで、礼を尽くしていい関係を作ることができれば相手を大切にできる、合気道とまさに似ていると思うのです。
I have returned to Edajima. I practiced Aikido with the usual members at the usual place, feeling the happiness of being able to do Aikido. In preparation for the upcoming demonstration event in two weeks, we focused on practicing the demonstrations. Since today’s members were those participating in the demonstrations, I had each person practice their part, gradually coordinating and creating the demonstrations together. Today’s training included:
Fun Training:
- Body warm-up exercises
- Bear walk, spider walk
- Knee walking
- Seated technique, first teaching, both sides
- Half-body single-handed grab, four-directional throw (from turning deflection)
Main Training:
- Aikido body warm-up exercises
- Ukemi (falling techniques)
- Demonstration practice for the event
- Presentation practice
A middle school student asked me to include the most difficult technique in my demonstration. Well, to me, they’re all difficult. There probably wasn’t much profound meaning in their request, but saying this might sound strange, but the simpler the technique, the more difficult it is. I think the movements they are currently doing for a seemingly simple technique are more challenging. But no matter how simple or complex, everything is difficult. It’s similar to human relationships. Every relationship is challenging. Relationships with superiors are difficult, friendships are difficult, and the closer you get, the more challenging it becomes. However, even in close relationships, if you follow etiquette and create a relationship with respect, just like in Aikido, you can cherish and value the other person.
