Being Uchi-deshi in
Iwama Make sure you know your basics in taijutsu and weapons. Don’ t go to Iwama before this. Being uchi deshi should be regarded as the possibility to receive special attention and training by Nemoto Sensei. Your stay should not be considered a vacation. It is both physical and spiritual training, in both techniques as well as awareness training and much more. You have the unique chance to experience Japan and Japanese culture, but always with top priority given to the fact that this is Budo training. Whatever you are doing, it all relates to your training. Deep, rigorous training is called “Shugyo.” This means training at all levels, and at all times- physical as well as mental and spiritual training. Uchi deshi training is Shugyo. Gifts Bring gifts to give to Nemoto Sensei, and to Nemoto Sensei’ s wife ( Oku-sama ). Make sure to have several small gifts to give if invited to someone’s home or to special friends made during your stay. Dojo T shirts are a good present for Aikido friends you may make in Japan. Titles Nemoto Sensei should always be called Sensei or Nemoto Sensei ( And Oku-sama: ¨Oku-sama¨ ). Also when talking to someone else, be sure to always refer to them by the aforementioned names. It is rude to refer to people without using ¨...san, ...sama or ...Sensei.” >> Next page |
