October Trip-2

http://www.losangelesaikido.com/

Leg exercise (shifting the balance as remaining the heaviness with back and front...)

Kihon Dosa

Ikkajo -2 (non Basic)
Udegarami (non Basic)

Ushirowaza Eri Mochi Ikkajo Osae-2
Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Kotegaeshi-2
Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1

After class: Back Breakfalls (30) Forward Rolls (30...but I missed 5)
Jiyuwaza Practice (6 throws each)

Note: Class of 5 with 2 senseis. The weather was a lot milder and cooler than expected. So it was nothing like how it was in last July when I first came out to train here. Still the leg exercise was quite tough...cant quite remember if we did Kihon dosa before or after but my feet were aching pretty badly around that time.

The biggest challenge of the day was to make 360 degree pivot with Ushiro Eri Ikkajo-2. Knowing this is the basic basic way but Stumpy teaches us to make 180 degree pivots x 2 for an introduction, so my feet were used to be in moves, and it was quite hard to adjust it but Sensei gave us the fair practice for that movement and I think we all got the basic steps right at the end.

There is one 12 y/o started training with his father several months ago. According to the farther, the boy found out all about it. No wonder he's so keen :) He's still even shorter than me and felt very fragile but he was adapting the movements quite all right, that was quite impressive.

Sensei coordinates the class as like a story of the day, people listens to him even before they know it or at least before I know it. Sometimes ( or could be many times) he pushes pretty hard, but he does it with us most of the hard stuff without changing a face. It was great to meet / train with the same people again after a year.

To moving on to the next destination, Vancouver. I had a choice to fly either on Sat or Sun night and I chose Sat night that gave me less than an hour after the class to spare, I wish I had one more hour to be able to sit and talk with them but...maybe next time.

So, there I was again driving to the airport having no extra time to lose...(yes, the schedule was quite tight)...traffic was worse than ever...people suspected that it would take 45 mins to the airport but it took over an hour...I probably could have saved several mins if I did not make a wrong turn...anyway, I got to the rental car place to return the car about 18:15 even my fight was supposed to take off at 19:33...and the shuttle bus to the airport took off right in front of me when I got there......the lady asked me as she inspected the car if everything was all right, so I said..."yes! except for the traffic!" There was no point getting anxious about things I cant control, so I waited and waited and waited...for the shuttle to come around, and waited...15 mins later the same lady told me, " I just called the shuttle to let them know you are waiting", yeah right so I wait, and wait..........................................finally...there they come...2 comes at one time!!! One was reached by the office lady but what I got on was the other...so the drivers had to settle with the other to take me instead after all...another 2 mins wasted!! No point getting mad, so I tried to be calm and nicely asked the driver, "my flight takes off in half an hour, do you think I can make it?" He gave me a stunned look and started kicking the gas pedal really hard...surely he gave me the lecture not to be late for the flight until we got to the airport...still he gave me a good fast ride, so I got to the checking in counter at 19:04.......

Of course, I had to hear another bunch of "you are late" "its too late" speech from the checking in counter person but I was able to check in, so it was time to run and I ran. Although, the plain itself was 20 mins late after all so it was just all right.

Another surprise was waiting for me in Vancouver...its cold already and everyone is wearing a ski jacket while I only carried cotton sweater...well, it should be all right.

3 more training day to go.

October Trip-1

Class 1 : Nikajo-1
Shomen Uchi
Katate Mochi
Kata Mochi
Hiji Mochi

Class 2 : Nikajo-2
Shomen Uchi
Katate Mochi
Kata Mochi

Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Nage, Kotegaeshi

Note: Class of 7-8, My first class to visit Eishinkan Dojo, Rancho Santa Margarita in California. The big challenge even before the class was to drive all the way to Rancho Santa Margarita from Studio City. It took 2 and half hours exactly...I got a little lost at the very end and asked the people in the next building but they gave me no help...they did not know their own address...so I started stopping buildings one by one...luckily the next one was which I was looking for!

We went throug Nikajo in series, just like how we started for the test training. Things I could not adapt quite well I did it the way I'm used to do, but also tried out the way they suggested, aiming for the back foot with Nikajo, and poping up the elbow with 2 techniques...

Interesting and fun 2 classes with fun people.

Spent about 2 hrs in a bar afterwards, and it took only 1 hour 15mins to get back to the hotel. I'm glad it went all well for the day.

Ikkajo-2

Shomen Uchi Ikkajo-2

Note: Class of 3. The morning of the day I leave for the trip. My schedule for the last weeks has been tigher than usual, was aware that I was quite stressed out from work and training...I only had a 3 hrs sleep (which is not possible for me to function), and I could not adjust what Sensei was telling us from what he had told us before...kept insisting, "I'm confused...", after all it was just my frustration bursted out before I knew it. ...After the class, Stumpy laughed at me saying, "You did this about a year and half ago, and before that was over 2 years ago...", so I have a cycle for my frustration to explore according to Stumpy. and today was one of them just about on the right track...so he says...

As the training progresses, some things gets easier but many things gets more difficult, or it seems. One theory is that you get easily more aware of whats going on on the mat with your own movements, it means you ... can find whats not going the way you want to be, or at least, the way you think whats supposed to. However, its not possible everything to be controled, at least by you, meaning me, so I go back to the mind set, "I do what I'm supposed to do", yet not being able to ignore what else is going on...

I usually say, Aikido is fun, thats the reason I do it. But more precisely...Aikido is frustrating, stressful but fun comes on the top of it so I keep training only to get better.

Well, cant find the way to say it better even I have been seriously thinking of this topic for the last weeks...maybe its representing my status pretty well, I'm confused all right. Will come back to write this one again if I get clear with the words to put into.

Later that day, I got to the airport, finished easy checking in and was the time to exchange yen to dollers. WHAT A SHOCK! Canadian dollers was more expensive than US dollars! Oh well, anything can happen but I'm here all in one piece and leaving for my Aikido trip. I would count everything is all right.

Tuesday 7:00 : September 25, 2007

2007-09-25T13:16:00.000+09:00

Basic:
Hiriki no Yosei-1&2 with partner

Technique:
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1&2
Ushirowaza Eri Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1

Note:
Class of 4,

Kotegaeshi: I certainly have a problem with my Kotegaeshi, especially with Suwari ones. I just cant get the feeling like I "get" Kotegaeshi. Applying Kotegaeshi is straight forward, for either you are stepping forward or pivotting. I am still twisting as my body goes off from my center line...UMM...

Ushiro Eri Mochi: Ducking under Uke's arm part is quite tough, its not bending over...that makes it lose your kamae, which is bad. This is one of rare movements among the others, so it needs a lot of practice, I suppose.

Tuesday 5:45 : September 25, 2007

2007-09-25T12:37:00.000+09:00

Basic:

Technique:

Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-1&2
Katate Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1

Note:
Class of 3. Working on the details...Defining me as an annoying memory woman...my memory is pretty good that's how always has been for a lot of things, not perfect just pretty good. Its also working for remembering Aikido techniques. So, I don't have so much hard time remembering them, yet knowing the movements and being able to find the circle with different people is totally a different thing, or so I define...so I had the hard time (again) with 2 different body type people to do the same techniques.

Changing the intention change the effort. I used to think applying the technique is to try putting (or forcing) uke on the spot where I want uke to be. But I realized that guiding Uke to where they dont want to go without uke knowing is just enough. I was again doing the forcing this morning, so I have to remember guiding when I do the technique.

Although, there are so many things to remember...no wonder it takes time for the body to learn all these things.

Saturday 6:15 : September 22, 2007

2007-09-24T19:17:00.000+09:00

The secret of Nikajo is revealed! or not...

Basic
Kihon Dosa
Roll practice

Technique:
Yokomen Uchi Nikajo Osae-1 & 2

Note:
Class of 2. Ended up revealing the secret of Nikajo..."lock, lock, off..." was what we came up.
Knowing the secret and being able to apply it is a different story...so lets see how its going to go.
What I feel learning much more details of the techniques is the way to be able to move/use your body in the ways you ever imagine in the normal life. Thats not an easy thing.

I used to not like training Sankajo-2 and Nikajo (any) for over a year... because I could not move big people with them. So many times I wanted to cry in the middle of the technique not knowing what to do... " practice only makes it better" is a fact that I have to trust. Sankajo is eventually and slowly coming so I suppose Nikajo will too... or so I trust and keep training...

Well, well well... time indeed flies or it feels more like disappearing. Shochugeiko was over 3 weeks ago, and so was embu. Summer schedule is really tough on top of "the heat" of Tokyo... its such a big challenge just to go through it... And I'm getting busier at work every year! for the last 3 years. But I think its safe to say "summer 2007" is over, although it still gets hot in the dojo...

October is already within reach, its time to prepare for my next test. It felt like it would be so far in the future when I came up with the plan for the black belt test 2 and half years ago with Stumpy. (Or I dragged out Stumpy to come up with the plan for me is the better way to describe it.) I think the key thing for me to do in the next 2 and half months is to keep the good condition, not to get freak out too much (if i can...). I can keep it in my mind but all I can really do is lets see how its going to go : )

Nikajo Recap

Hiji Mochi Nikajo Osae-1 & 2

Katate Mochi Nikajo 2

Note: Class of 2. I did not feel I got anything right in Hiji Mochi Nikajo yesterday, so we asked Stumpy for the recap. To our surprise...(or not) it took a whole class to have a decent understanding of the technique.

How to move the front foot, or the back foot in the beginning...of course its not the same for 1 an d 2 techniques since you are attacking or being attacked for the other. However the points we went over got me into thinking that I can not quite say well just yet.

I dont know if any of the above makes any sense at all, as my thoughts are making much any...

Note: Class of 6. Another hot morning, so it was hard yet it was not as deadly as the day 1. After every break from training, I promise myself that its easier to keep doing rather than taking a break and come back...yet I never do anything so I keep promising the same thing over and over again...

Monday 7:00 : August 20, 2007

2007-08-20T12:55:00.000+09:00

Shochugeiko : Day 1 - Shihonage

Basic:
Back Breakfalls (50)
Kihon Dosa

-----15 mins including warmups-----

Technique:

Katate Mochi Shihonage-1
Katate Mochi Shihonage-2
Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-1
Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-2
Hanmi Handachi Katate Mochi Shihonage-1

Shomen Uchi Shihonage-Kagarigeiko

Note: Shochugeiko Began! I expected for more people to come back but it ended up with 4 people. Hope to see the others to come back tomorrow!

I'm not so sure why the day 1 is always so hard...I think the big part of it is that Shihonage is physically a hard technique. Uke has to get down on the mat, yet it ends so soon so has to come up ritht away...and a week break from training only helps for the muscle to go into sleep zzzzz...

Starting the class with 50 Back breakfalls would've only encouraged us being in a "dead" state right from the beginning of the class. I started easily losing my Kamae during Kihon Dosa practice.

Although...I suppose its a good news that I did not hit my head right on the mat as taking Sensei's uke. I was not quite sure if he threw us any easier the way he usually does or my uke's gotten any better... Last year after Shochugeiko I cut off my ponytail by getting tired of smashing it onto the mat and taking the pain. The next challenge is going to be Sokumen Iriminage which is scheduled next week, I will know better then.

Saturday 18:15, August 11, 2007

2007-08-15T13:18:00.000+09:00

Welcome to Hot Aikido!

An ex-senshusei, a guy who never gets tired, instructed us breakfalls in greatdetails.
In the last15mins, one and only picked up technique was Shihonage Kuzushi, for what its worth, no one got injured : )

It was a hot hot hot night and we kept sweating until we reached to the bar after the class.
I'm sure it helped the training to be alot harder, however, we all made it through and had a good time.

2007-08-08T11:59:00.000+09:00

Tai no Henko-2

Note: Class of 2. The series continues.

I came up with one theory a few months ago...

When Kamae becomes Your Kamae, arms/hands work starts to matter less. (I would not say, less important, the arms/hands becomes a part of Your Kamae, so the hight and relationship with your body and etc.. is really depends on Your Kamae.

Tuesday 7:00 : August 7, 2007

2007-08-07T12:55:00.001+09:00

Go back to the Basic, again!

Technique:
Katate Mochi Shihonage-1
Katate Mochi Shihonage-2

Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae-1

Katate Mochi Jiyuwaza after class: I finally asked Sensei for Jiyuwaza practice after class. I have been meaning to ask for a while...Sensei must have known what was coming so when I asked him he said, "10 throws? Everyday?" Yes, 10 throws everyday please... :)

I ran out! after 7?? So he slowed it down but kept going. It doesnt hurt as it looks at all, but I threw my body and end up landing my body twisted. That is safest landing I know for now, but it means I end up on the mat, and coming up is not part of it. Thats what I have to work on now.

Note:
Class of 6.

Tuesday 5:45 : August 7, 2007

2007-08-07T12:47:00.000+09:00

After the test...Back to Basic...Kihon dosa

Tai no Henko-1

Tai no Henko-1 with partner

Note:
Class of 3. Before the test, everyone practice technique after technique, then take the test. What we realize taking the test is how important the basic movement is. Naturally, we come back to where we started: Kihon dosa.

I started seeing what Kihon Dosa was about maybe after 2 years since I started training. I guess that was when I started realize how it applied in the techniques the way I was trying to do.

Training goes as a circle, and its good to have a cycle. The funny thing is that as we progress, it seems like getting more difficult as we repeat the cycle.

Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2

Note:
Class of 4, with 2 Senseis. Sensei kept telling me, "what are you doing?" or " what are you not doing?"... Training with less focus on what "I" do as not having Sensei on the mat caused my Aikido very careless, which I did not mean to do, nor expect to happen.

I'm very simple minded person after all, and I'm still at the beginning stage in my Aikido, so I can't nor shouldn't give attention to people (other than the opponent) when I train...yet the reality always doesn't come that way. I'm luckily in the position to be given the chance to lead the class when Sensei is away. The way my aikido became sloppy in the last 2 weeks proves I have not been training as precise as I usually do.

Talking about the distaction, I don't really handle "talking on the mat" well, even my voice distracts my brain functionality so it was quite a challenge for me to keep talking and even "trying to make" the points to the others in the class.

Still. talking of the others often distracts me as well, yet it was nice to be able not to listen to my own voice after 2 weeks!! It was nice to be able to focus on what "I" do or trying to do having Senseis back on the mat. Now, what I know is that I am going to stay this way and lose the sloppiness ASAP!

Wednesday 5:45 : August 1, 2007

Class started 7:02

Warm ups ... 5 mins

Tai Sabaki from Shomen Uchi, Yokomen Uchi ... for 45 mins

5 throws x 2 ... 8 mins

Note:

Class of 5.
Sensei was on Fire : )

It was a cold morning, but Sensei opened the window as soon as we started warm ups, even it was still cold...I guess he was burning from inside...

We were pushed a bit harder than usual, but noone got hurt, noone cried...

Udegarami : I tried Udegarami from Shomen Uchi, was too light and weak...Sensei said, "Let me show you", I was smashed onto the mat 2 seconds later. I think its safer for uke to be thrown harder than "Softer" especially for Udegarami, and Kotegaeshi. To make it "harder", it has to be done with more hips. ... Umm, thats pretty much for everything else, I assume ; )

Test Training

Note:
Class of 7, test training on the side of beginners course.

Again, for the millions of times...I cant explain the techniques in words even the ones I know how to do it... I must say...you have some certain rhythm when you train as given the advices from the teachers. Thats very natural (I mean, this becomes a habit when you do it over 100 times...), at least to me, but "I talk" is not natural and I get distracted by my own voice since its not supposed to be there in my "rhythm". So, for me, talking and giving some or any advice to the others is very unnatural and that is breaking the habit, at least the ones I have now...I bet it will take a bit more time to get used to it.

Lots of Tai Sabaki with Katate Mochi

One round of Jiyuwaza at the end.

Note:
Class of 4, Time goes very very quickly, we have done quite amount of Tai Sabaki practice and it was a bit hard to name all of them here.

I'm still not quite doing a big heavy pivots but I'm so trying to keep my back straight to keep my Kamae even only with my back. In the beginning of Jiyuwaza practice days, I used to get too excited, and lost everything as soon as I started moving. I started focusing on Kamae more than anything at some point and I "think" I started not to get too excited, which is a good change : )

Note: Kangeiko, class of 3 on the side of Beginners Course with 4. Stumpy was so proud for going through 13 techniques calling, "Man! Thats a record for Kangeiko!" : ) No wonder senseis are so keen to go through so many technques so fast... What often happens having 2 teachers are that they give each other ideas which they would never think of themsleves, and considering the FACT boys are tend to be competitive (!) Roland Sensei might try to break Stumpy's record tomorrow with Nikajo...That could be challenging and fun.

Learning the complicated techniques takes "Time", however, it takes so much less time to forget them even with the all the efforts we put into. The ones like that are usually difficult or complicated...
For today, I was telling myself, I did this, I did this, I totally did this while we were doing Ushiro Ryokata & Ushiro Eri. I did not forget all about it but still not the way I did remember only over a month ago. They are both not easy but neat techniques, I wanted to remember them all back yet we all ran through them today.

With rolls : I am trying to push my body up with fist to fly higher, the attempt was totally failed today, but I will try it again tomorrow : )

I had no time to take a peek on the other side of the mat, so I had no idea what was going on with Beginners course but they seemed having fun.

Note:
Kangeiko has started! Class of 4 with 2 Senseis : ) Just kept going on techniques in 3 pairs. It was a quite exhausting and painful hour ; )

I fell too soon twice with Sensei's Shihonages. It was Not Only because his Shihonage is so strong, but my shoulder was having very uncomfortable pain, so I had to get away before my arms/shoulders were gotten by him. Once I start falling, it seems impossible to stop the motion, so I have to fall all the way. Guess it takes practice...
