The 41st workshop practice note

 

We warned at this workshop not to become the wrong practice method 

as follows.

How to find the number of lessons ignoring changing feeling,

Practice method of seeking only self-sense of fulfillment 

unconsciously.

 

In this workshop, we practiced with a theme of carefully slowly 

gradually. So first of all, what kind of state is your body is.

And we learned how it will change.

 

 

1.Thinking how to raise your feet while lying on your back on 

the floor

2.Hitting from Hassou stance

3.Orishiki stance

4.Train the Fure-aiki with the palm of your hand sandwiched

5.Breathe in, to relax breath, take a breath. Training to 

raise and lower the sword according to this rhythm.

 

※It is not bad for asking for the number of practice or being 

insensitive.

 

Even if you can understand it, if you cannot express it with 

your body, you have to practice repeatedly Is required.

Also, it is necessary to become insensitive if you are 

over-sensitized.

Also, it is also a bad practice to think that you must 

definitely change something.

This is an important point that we must be careful including

our own commandments.

 

Many people including first-time people, beginners, experienced 

people and others participated in this lesson and became a very 

lively. Thank you very much.

 

Let's practice while each one chews the meaning of the word of 

Sensei "There is only an answer within yourself".

 

Please participate in the next workshop.

 

The 42nd workshop practice note

 

◯ We learned about the three kinds of meridians inside the legs.

 

1　Meridians leading to the kidneys, meridians leading to the liver, 

and meridians connected to the spleen are conscious.

 

2　First, sit on the floor with a sitting posture.　Then it slightly 

warps in the backward direction. Then straighten out the rectus 

abdominis.

Next, extend the index finger in the internal binding posture. 

Then stretch your hands over your heads with signs with your 

index fingers.

 

3　Three types of meridians in the thigh are conscious. Then, we 

recognize how each meridian relates to breathing and the body.

When breathing in a state where the body is warped in the backward 

direction, confirm how each meridian is different.

 

 

◯ Practice to pull out a sword while conscious of three types of 

meridians in the thigh.

 

1　Relationship between right hand and sword when sword is pulled out.

A sword is caught by the hypothenar ball and on the base of the 

thumb.

 

2　When bringing the body back and forth, its depth, stretching of 

the body, breathing together.

 

3　Do not adjust the angle or the position when the body is moved back 

and forth with the muscular strength on the surface of the body.

Instead, it moves with the feeling of trunk which was supervised 

by breathing.

 

4　With the posture of Raitou, attach one knee to the floor, and 

advance or retreat the body.

At this time, use the depth of three kinds of meridians in the 

groin area and the space set with Raitou.

 

 

◯ Using Iaido sword and practicing seven kinds of swing

If you use three kinds of meridians, you can create a third axis 

for the sword.

 

 

◯ Practice of Enkai, Konotekashiwa, and Suishasei postures with 

a stick.

 

 

A word from the caretaker

As a matter of course, I think why I did not notice. I noticed that 

I could never cut with a line to cut the space. 

We have received guidance from Sensei at the workshop practice.

Thank you very much.

? Have the opponent hold the bag bamboo sword horizontally. 

This is called a sword stick.

the sword stick of the other. Then, put the bag Bamboo sword on 

the other sword stick to break the opponent.

? Using the bag bamboo sword and practicing Shitsuraito of swing.

The theme of this workshop was the word "Bappai". While doing the 

teaching which Sensei always said, we did Jiu-jitsu that can throw 

but not dare to throw, swordsmanship that can shake but does not shake.

 

Stand up the neck.

Extract useless power from the body.

Loosen your back and stretch it.

Then, tell the force from the pelvis and lower body to the contact 

point.

 

Please repeatedly remember what you learned at this workshop and 

practice yourself.

And create such a body that you can use Jiu-jitsu can throw but not 

dare to throw、and swordsmanship that can shake but does not shake 

at any time.

 

The 45th workshop practice note

 

1.When the opponent grasps both wrists, it reflects the opponent's 

force by internal body manipulation.

2.Grab the opponent's wrists and destroy the other's posture through 

internal body manipulation.

3.When the opponent and I grasp both ends of the short rod, it breaks 

down the other's posture by internal body manipulation.

4.When the opponent and I pinched both ends of the stick with a shoulder 

or stomach, the opponent's posture is broken down by internal body 

manipulation.

 

5.Using Iaido sword in the sheath to practice seven kinds of swing.

6.Practice swinging of Enpi type while keeping your feet moving with 

Iaido sword　in the sheath.

 

In the first half, we practiced training the condition of the body so 

that centering breathing method can be performed from head to foot 

using body techniques and tools.

In the latter half, using Iaido sword in the sheath, we practiced to 

experience that the sword and body coincided by being accompanied by 

the weight.

It was a practice to go back to the basics that we only carefully 

perceive changes in the balance of the body but there is no other way.

We are thankful to Sensei who carefully taught us even though it is 

hot and to everyone who participated in the lesson.

 

 

A word from the caretaker

 

The main point of the first half is that even if you grasp the 

opponent's wrist you can respond with by internal body manipulation 

even if your wrist is grasped from the other.

I think that there is a place where the sword 's rationalism leads 

to the aiki there.

Thank you for participating in the 45th workshop despite the hot day.
