実家の畑のブドウが均一に紫にならないのは、朝晩の気温差がないせいだと聞きました。いつまでも夏から脱せない世の中に、顔を覗かせてはすぐに消えてしまう秋が待ち遠しく感じます。ないものねだりは無駄なことだと考えながらも、恋しさは思考からもたらすものではないので、気がつけばぼんやり思ってしまいます。さてこの日は
１合気体操
２足捌き
３受け身
４相半身片手取り一教ストレッチ
５後ろ両手取り一教表
６後ろ両手取り小手返し
７後ろ両手取り玄形呼吸投げ
８杖の手引き 後ろ両手取り入身投げ
９剣の手引き 後ろ両手取り切り落とし呼吸投げ
１０両肩取りの三教 体重移動で相手を動かす動き
をやりました。後ろ技は相手が有利な状況の技なので、腕力を使わないように、また後方に相手を感じる稽古になります。合気道の達人はほんの数センチの動きで相手を効果的に崩します。相手を動かすために必要な動きは数センチなのです。しかし相手と繋がっていなければどれだけ体を動かしても相手は動きません。また相手を無理やりに動かしても、その後に切れて離れてしまいます。相手の反応の仕方、動き方にも応じてやり方を変える必要もあり、とても難しい境地です。これも合気道の醍醐味なのだと思います。
I heard that the grapes in the garden at my family home aren’t turning purple because there hasn’t been much difference between the morning and evening temperatures. As the world seems unable to escape summer, with autumn briefly peeking out only to vanish quickly, I find myself longing for the season more and more. Even though I tell myself that longing for something you can’t have is pointless, the feeling isn’t born from thought, so before I realize it, I’m daydreaming about it. On this particular day, we practiced:
- Aiki warm-up exercises
- Footwork practice
- Ukemi (falling techniques)
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori ikkyo stretch
- Ushiro ryote-dori ikkyo omote
- Ushiro ryote-dori kote-gaeshi
- Ushiro ryote-dori genkei kokyu-nage
- Jo movements – ushiro ryote-dori irimi-nage
- Ken movements – ushiro ryote-dori kiri-otoshi kokyu-nage
- Ryokata-dori sankyo – using body movement to move the opponent
When practicing techniques from behind, the opponent is in a more advantageous position, so the training focuses on avoiding the use of strength and sensing the opponent behind you. Masters of Aikido can unbalance their opponent with movements of only a few centimeters. The key to moving your opponent lies in these small movements. However, if you’re not connected to your opponent, no matter how much you move your body, they won’t move. Forcing them to move only results in breaking the connection afterward. The approach must change depending on how the opponent reacts or moves, which makes it a very challenging art. This, I believe, is one of the true joys of Aikido.
