“To study the way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.
To be enlightened by all things is to let the mind-body of oneself and others be emancipated”.
Zen master Dogen, The Shobogenzo Genjokoan

“Study your own body through basic forms. Study the centralization of the body.” – T.K. Chiba. He identified the five principles of the ‘Aikido Body’ as “Centeredness, connectedness, wholeness, liveliness and openness”. Throughout our years on the mat we must maintain a fully active examination into these principles in our own body.

Working on a sharp tenkan for Shiho- nage ura, pull the shoulder well and slip through before cutting down. Your partner should not feel your turn at all.

Tomorrow, 5 June we gather to honour the memory of an outstanding master and the founder of Birankai and San Diego Aikikai: T.K. Chiba Shihan, direct student of Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido's founder. On this tenth memorial since his passing we pay homage to a life dedicated to developing, deepening and spreading the art of Aikido and wish for his work to resonate for centuries to come.
Offering profound gratitude to his dedicated wife Mrs.Chiba who took great care of him and his students and also to his children.

"One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train." Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the Art of Aikido.
The journey within is boundless, fear not to travel it, for here lies the ultimate freedom.

Iaido is the art of drawing the sword. Introduced by T. K. Chiba Shihan to his students as one of his four pillars of training, it is often described as "moving Zen". Through repeated study and practice of the forms a dialogue ensues between sword and practitioner. The sword demands correct stance, line and precision of cut and extension of power through the tip of the sword in order to answer with a clear sharp whistle as the blade cuts through the air. When training with a sharp live blade any clumsiness or careless moves lead to cuts and bleeding.
The benefits of this training are numerous: stance, strength, balance, focus, awareness and extension of ki through an external object. However, the qualities of patience, persistence and self-study are essential for this practice.

@sashi_burke returned home to @newcastle_aikido just over a week ago and she is much missed in the dojo. After two months of soto-deshi, weathering the waves of homesickness, muscle aches and adjusting to the culture shock and rigours of daily training this young teenager went on to shine at @wroclawaikikai Winter Camp at the close of her trip. Wishing her a long powerful Aikido journey ahead 💫

Great to see such a good turn out for this weekend's joint seminar with teachers from Hellenic Birankai and Aikido of Athens. As Chiba Sensei said, he never met as many quality people as he did on the mat doing Aikido. Let's take care of "this fragile, sensitive, noble art of Aikido" (T. K. Chiba Shihan). Happy to be on the mat with these quality people this weekend.

Working on connection with Sashi, perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of taking ukemi, receiving and reacting to what's happening and not making it up.
Sashi has made a long journey from @newcastle_aikido in Australia supported by her teacher Darius Wingate-Pearse, to train here at Athens Aikido. A courageous step for a young practitioner to throw herself into practice in a foreign dojo with a new teacher.
