Characteristics of Konshunkai Aikido
①We don't practice Shikko. But if you want,you can.
"Shikko"is hard to knees and not few hurt their knees in the long run. Young men and foreigners have much less chances of sitting up straight, so will hardly become accustomed to "Shikko".There are some Aikido clubs in foreign countries where they don't practice Shikko.
②When having attained some level, we practice free movement mainly.
We aim to get and have the body ability that can let us move freely.
③You can get same capacity whether being an adult or a child.
If quality of movement is same ,regardless age, everyone can get same capacity.
④In a examination ,as usual training, you are examined not only in Toli skill but also Uke skill.
Thus we prevent some Aikido men from arising , who forget Uke movement and throw the partner needlessly hard to show as if he were strong.
⑤Instructors always practice with others and do the best to search Aikido.
Depth of Aikido is profound . No one knows throughly "What is Aikido" ,i think.
If being Aikido instructors you shouldn't be conceited. We should pursue Aikido all our lives.
⑥Don't defeat your partner but don't be defeated by your partner. We pursuit such Aikido.
Thus let's make the world where all are getting along well.
⑦We practice Aikido ,so as to be able to deal with various conditions that we may happen to meet with.
⑧ We don't practice such skills as to hurt the partner and don't practice" Tobi Ukemi".
We don't throw the partner needlessly hard and don't practice Tobi Ukemi. Tobi Ukemi will accumulate fatigue of the nerve.
We search rational skills that everyone can hardly see and hardly be conscious of .
⑨We aim to get and to have a tireless body if move for a lng time .
From start,we will practice Aikido without using needless power and search movements that aren't against the partner's power with our own power.
This is the best way of improving our Aikido, i think.
