Bukiwaza (weapons) Class |
|
Aikido, as taught in its traditional form, is based on the
concept of Riai. Riai means a harmony of principles, or the
connection of principles in Aikido. These principles refer
to the three elements that make up traditional aikido as a
whole: tai jutsu (body techniques), aiki ken (sword
techniques, trained with bokken or wooden sword) and aiki jo
(3/4 length staff). The principles of movement used in
bukiwaza training form the foundation on which the body
techniques are based. It is therefore of great importance
for aikido practitioners to gain an understanding of the
bukiwaza techniques in order to grasp the core of the empty
handed techniques.
Bukiwaza classes will be held in Copenhagen Aiki Shuren
Dojo. The classes are open classes for all levels. If it is
necessary to do so, I will make one basic-level class and
one for those with more bukiwaza experience. Space
limitations will have a certain effect on our training
weapons in the dojo, but I feel it is necessary to bring
bukiwaza training into the Shuren Dojo curriculum, to create
the most well-balanced training schedule possible.
