Tenkan Irimi and interviews with teachers - part 1

Dear

as promised in due course, begin little by little to publish interviews with masters of different martial arts.
When I refer to teachers, I say this because not only have their graduation but also because I think that for me have been teachers at some point in my journey in the martial arts. Many of them are great friends and I are proud to show your opinion and some of his thoughts in this blog.

Here I give you the first interview with my good friend Marcelo, co-author of this blog.

1) How did the practice of martial arts? What was your primary motivation? Tell a story of its beginnings.
Twenty years ago, a coworker asked me accompany him to find out because I wanted to practice karate.
During lunch we went we found out, I remarked that I was not interested at all, a week I was asked if he could accompany him to practice because he just did not dare, as we were quite friends told him that I would score just one month then there was more.
My partner left a month of practice, I continued twenty years, I could never leave the path of martial arts.
So today I am grateful, for insisting, on labor issues we never saw nor knew that I kept practicing for three months after he left the job.
far as I could and sacrifice, kept alone, and over the years I realized I chose the right path for me.


2) Without wishing to compare different martial arts, why did you choose the one currently practicing or who practiced for so many years?
A practitioner when you start the practice, I do not know how to differentiate which is for a martial art, with time and knowing some, the practitioner becomes more aware if his chosen martial art suits the search you need.
Respect all martial arts because I believe that every practitioner should look for in each of them what they need. I met with traditional karate because it keeps essences and values of the great teachers who gave so much to leave their legacy to the world.


3) Do you think that the practice of martial arts as a better person? What notice it more often?
martial arts in my opinion, balance body, mind and spirit, who understands this balance realizes that his life begins to tune with the harmony of the universe, that automatically makes people different in every sense of their lives.


4) Do you think that martial arts practice allowed him to perform better in their profession? Why? Almost
this question is related to the previous answer, if you ring in the same note as the universe you live your life and family differently, enjoying every minute of life to the fullest.


5) What is the first thing you say to a beginner?
The first thing you say to a practitioner, is the same as my teachers told me when I was a beginner.
Slow and quiet, this is for a lifetime.


6) Could you summarize the codes of life or values \u200b\u200bthat you feel that you brought the martial arts?
Martial arts are not taught to fight, pass the legacies for which they were created, respect, courage to face life, and prepares us to confront the most important rival, ourselves with our ego.
In the beginning were created for war, people eventually incorporated them as a way of life.


7) What about the violence in society today? Do you think that if you supplement school education with practice martial arts could help reverse the situation?
All times were tough, life is not easy, that's the main attraction.
The problem is that humans lose their sense of what they were created, in my opinion is to live in harmony with everything around us.
Violence is not only the loss of balance, this will confuse people with false ambitions, believing that the most it is the most powerful.
If schools were issued martial arts classes, children grow up with values \u200b\u200bthat they teach, it automatically would happier and adults with actual values.
Young people today do not know where to go or for here, is to accompany us, not judge otherwise, becoming the violent youth would be aimless.
worst thing we can do is do nothing.


8) Do you think that martial arts practice in these times retains the original spirit or in many cases distorted the original concept and turned into a business?
believe that evil is not he who teaches a martial art copper its tariff, because it is in many cases living in their teaching, which does not seem right is that they think more money than what is taught.
Personally I think if you do not need to live the teaching of martial arts teaching is very good with a low tariff to keep the place of education and expenses, and if any students think that no money should train without paying nothing, because when a person is going through a difficult time we can not deny him the opportunity to continue on the road, otherwise this is where the spirit of what we learned disappears. And we did not understand anything.


9) Can you give your opinion, if applicable, how martial arts can influence the business world today? Do codes or values \u200b\u200bof the martial arts help to build better business? What better leaders? and finally, what better person?
The martial arts are capable of achieving the most wonderful things that people can imagine.

Many thanks, please clear your name, your martial art, and his school graduation. Marcelo Fabian Rey

The beginning of the road - The Shodan

From a technical standpoint, generally the different schools have different grading criteria when a black belt, that is, each will have a minimal amount of technical will require the graduate and a number of variants of these techniques.
Basically, a first place in a traditional martial art is expected to demonstrate knowledge and practical equivalent to what they say are the fundamental principles of the system. From there, "begins" the long road of learning and learning more complex forms to express these principles. Also, we show an almost complete incorporation of these movements of the student body, which is becoming more spontaneous in their reactions.

Beyond that, there are certain informal expectations about the internal development of the graduate. The shodan becomes something like the "big brother" of mudansha and for that reason, it is expected that a good example about respect for the tradition of Aikido, the label on the Dojo, etc. Similarly, the shodan must continue to improve and expand their own skills and knowledge.

Now, as the incentive of the practitioners, the degree shodan is very important. Whether the activity is to which we devote our working lives, we all need to evaluate our progress. For that we're setting goals and prepare to achieve them.
From this point of view, I think shodan can sometimes be more important than other settings because it represents the first visible sign (the use of black belt and hakama) that is achieved after so much dedication and effort.

A care must be taken, especially for the student, is that it should be clear that the black belt is a symbol of the achievements and not the black belt gives achievements. I mean, I'm not going to be more important or more if I know I go to a business I get a black belt and use it. Nor the other end to say "I will train every day to get my black belt soon." This statement puts the black belt over the personal growth ... The shodan is the result of a maturing process in the technical, philosophical and human. It means a lot of responsibility, means that many other students are watching our steps to follow, and therefore, is critical to reach this goal when they really are ready.

As the famous saying "When the student is ready, the teacher appears," a Sensei I had for the year 1994 (Sensei Melo) said "When you ready, you will have your shodan, grow, learn and incorporate this philosophy and the Sensei will call you to tell you that you are prepared, as well forget the black belt ... the belt is always white, black and do it so much use " . Those words were recorded and scored a lot on my way. Besides meaning that one must practice hard to get to black belt, also contain a concept of humility, that is ... "the belt is always white, never lose the enthusiasm to learn."

In short, the desire to learn should be the primary force that motivates us to train and do not wish to receive the black belt. This will suggests that the moment we receive our shodan, is a proud moment because we know with certainty that our Sensei was watching and felt that we needed to take care of this new responsibility. The

shodan is not only a test, is a journey of years which is crowned with a review ... from that we 1st Kyu, Sensei, it begins to follow guide with more dedication, to warn that a good way about the beginning of real responsibility, and all that is symbolized by a test, which marks the beginning of the road. This is like kids when they enter primary school and early years learning to read and write, the success achieved is important and requires much effort and dedication, but nevertheless it is still only the first step to all that will do for the rest of their lives.

How Do I Get On To Fakku

Do you ever fight? Third

On many occasions, either talking with colleagues, or people who do not know the concepts of martial arts, I find the following comments ... "You have to be careful with you, better not to fight" ... or "You do not compete in Aikido?" and finally ... "I never fought in the streets?".

usually respond to all these comments with the same, "Aikido is not practiced to learn to fight against others, is practiced to fight against yourself to improve as a person. " Obviously, this response creates two reactions, the first is to stay silent, as meditating on the phrase and not talk about it anymore ... the second is treating me like I'm crazy and more than once I have responded ... "and to study a martial art if do not learn to pelearte? "
is a logical question, motivated by an incomplete answer from me ... or really do learn to fight in Aikido, and very effective, but never takes it as a basic concept in practice and as a tool to go picking fights permanently ... Let us a little deeper analysis.

Although Aikido is a martial art, this does not mean it is a fighting art is an art of peace, and its aim is to fight to bring peace where necessary. How is this done? In principle counteracting the savage impulse that generates a conflict.
Aikido techniques are, in principle calm, without peace there is no technique, no relaxation. We work in an environment of harmony instead of a dispute. Succumbs to stress relaxation, and so we train for years to refine our behavior and our attitudes to banish the whole concept of violence.

Now, I ask, what is fight?. According to the dictionary would "Contender or quarrel, even without arms or only in words, antagonizing, resistance to such master, etc.." As we see, it takes two or more to fight, even if someone wants to fight with us, never obtain a result, we would be always looking for a decisional path, a path leading to the harmony of the situation, and would spoil The goal of "violent."
If we choose to act violently, would undermine the concept of Aikido and we would be separating from his philosophy.
This "adjustment or change of attitude is what brings many years of Aikido practitioners, yet I can say that many do not, have their high rankings, yet never changed inside, keep the need to prove their technical superiority and arrogance that is typical of the violent personality. I think these people will never be good Aikidokas, will only be good fighters, but anyone seeking violence, sooner or later find someone more violent and the result is always negative.
The technical side of Aikido can be learned in a relatively short time, but the effectiveness of these techniques may take many years to develop until they internalize the spirit of Aikido.

In the movie "The Last Samurai" is a very graphic scene in the concept. Captain Algren trained with the bokken and permanently lost the war, until it is about a samurai and tells his ear ... "A lot of mind, no mind" ... when Algren realizes this phrase and "away" from the combative concept his mind, he manages to defeat your opponent. In the same way in the mind away Aikido we fighting to find the true power of this art.

Through ongoing training we find this very special energy associating the concept of "no mind" techniques ... it is wonderful to ask ... "Where is the power of my opponent and how it can help create harmony in the art or in this movement? How I can direct this energy and bring harmony?

These questions obviously we do in all aspects of our lives, in a working group on a football team in a family argument, we must constantly find how to lead or guide the other's energy to achieve harmony in all our projects. This does not mean dominating or forcing anyone, it's just one more way to help solve everyday problems by avoiding unnecessary confrontation. Let
these concepts into practice, it takes time and requires patience, but as I always say, the path of the Samurai is for life, and every step should be a practice, learning and improvement. Do not despair.

I hope they serve. I would like your comments.
keep in touch. Paul

technique. SANKYO

Sankyo, "the third technique," is one of the basic control techniques in Aikido. Includes a twist of the wrist that if done with force can be very painful and disruptive. It is very important when playing Sankyo, not exaggerate too much force or torque, but end up hurting the uke.
The key is to control the entire body of the uke by twisting of the wrist, the simple twist does not meet the real concept this technique is not effective to control an attacker.
The Sankyo is related to iaido technique called yokogiri or do, the horizontal cut. The relationship is not so obvious but if you look at how to stop and the relative position between uke and nage is understandable.
The twisting of the wrist is not complicated, how difficult is as noted above, gain control of uke's body twisting ... for this there are some details that should be taken into account and practice until exhaustion:
- What seems to be more important is the angle that has uke's elbow. If the elbow is very bent, uke nage will be very close and you can drop down to the elbow. The arc or angle of the elbow should be as large as possible, without achieving the extended arm ... the difference is to go see it in function of the height of uke.
- The second important point is the height at which you have to hold the hand of uke. It is best to hold the hand to shoulder height of uke. If it were lower, uke can loosen or resist.
- The third important point is the hand of uke. This should be 90 degrees to your forearm. If uke's hand is aligned with your forearm, the technique becomes less effective.

- Finally, there is also a little trick on how to grab uke's hand ... that is harder comment and will require consultation with a Sensei, but basically we can say that it is desirable to keep the uke completely open palm, grab all your fingers from the knuckles down with one of our hands and the other generates the torque of the wrist taking from the center of the palm with four fingers while the thumb presses and torque from the other side of the hand.

A concept that I heard several times and he seemed very graphic is the Sankyo think that I am forming a bridge between uke and nage. The body of both would be the pillars of the bridge, and uke's arm would be the goal. This idea is very useful to imagine the ideal position of technology and better control of uke.
