soft things

 

Softness is freedom. By softening, you become free.

no wonder

 

What is reasonable is that there is a reason.

Being fit is beautiful.

be serious

 

Being serious means respecting others.

Training that respects each other is fun and enjoyable.

to seek reason

 

It's not just about memorizing the "form", but it's also fun to discover the "reason" from the form.

Aikido that I seek Kurashiki Aikido Association President Toshiyuki Tanaka

 

The character '武' consists of 'two', '戈' and 'STOP'. This means "Stop the two halves." A sword is a spear-like weapon.

Stopping two crossing weapons... this can be interpreted as reigning the conflict.

 

There are certain conditions that must be met in order for a conflict to occur.

 

It is "two opposing positions".

 

I call the uniting of two into one, that is, the elimination of enemies, "invincibility."

 

 

Budo is the way of harmony, the way of invincibility.

 

 

Through practice, we explore the sedemi, mindlessness, and natural posture that are necessary for harmony and harmony with all the surrounding environments.

 

And just quietly and correctly, breathe, sit, stand, walk and move... Aikido is said to be Zen in motion.

 

Through Aikido, I would like to convey the wonderfulness of finding a quiet and easy self, finding friends who share the same aspirations, and continuing to practice happily.
