今年も大阪の友人が遊びに来た。いつもこの時期にくることになっている。それが毎年の同じ時期の気候がどう変わったかの指標になっている。去年のこの時期には朝晩にダウンジャケットを着込んだりしていた。今年はまだ日中は半袖でも過ごせる気候だ。外で過ごすには暑すぎる日さえあった。虫たちもまだまだ冬の支度というよりも残暑を感じて飛んでいる気がした。

My friend from Osaka came to visit again this year. He always comes around this time of year, and his visits have become a kind of indicator of how the weather and climate change from year to year.
Around this time last year, I was wearing a down jacket in the mornings and evenings. This year, though, the weather is still warm enough to wear short sleeves during the day. There were even days when it was too hot to spend much time outside. Even the insects seemed to be flying around as if they were still feeling the lingering summer heat, rather than preparing for winter.
Playful practice
- Warm-up exercises
- Getting familiar with the jo
- The 25 jo kata
Regular practice
- Aiki exercises
- Footwork
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori ikkyo stretching
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori irimi-nage stretching
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori kote-gaeshi
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori hiji-kime-nage
- Ai-hanmi katate-dori nikyo ura
If there is even one person who looks forward to practice every week, that makes me happy. I started this dojo because I wanted to share Aikido with others, and somehow, despite all the difficulties, people continue to come and practice.
I am grateful for that more than anything.
Aikido cannot be practiced alone. Just as we cannot live entirely on our own, we need other people.
