Navigation & Reading Advice
My posts are, by and large, cumulative. in other words, each consecutive post pre-supposes knowledge contained in the preceding posts. Consequently, reading from the first post to the latest is highly recommended. I have provided links to the first three blog posts below. After that, I recommend using the "TrueAiki Navigation" menu and reading from the oldest to the latest blogs.
Post #1: First Things First or Ichi no Maki
Most practitioners of Daito Ryu and Aikido are aware that the word “Aiki” is composed of two characters: The first character conveys the meaning “to unify, come together or fit.” The second character is commonly defined as energy or spirit. It is well known that together they mean the unification of “Ki” energy. What isn’t so commonly known is what these “Ki’s” that come together are, how they fit together, and what the significance of that is.
Post #2: "Would the real Aiki please stand up!"
The lack of manifestation of True Aiki is what makes the martial artist of the past and present, that claim(ed) to to use Aiki, so uniquely unremarkable among martial artists.
Post #3: Descriptions of Ueshiba's Aiki compared to Aiki 1,2,3
This week I will compare how Isoyama Hiroshi describes the feel of Ueshiba Morihei to Aiki 1,2,3. And then Okumura Shigenobu shares some of Ueshiba Morihei’s insights, which I will also relate to Aiki 1,2, & 3.
