AIKIDO

Aikido goes beyond martial arts: it does not only resolve conflict in a constructive way but it also develops our intuition. It gives us an insight that changes old paradigms and transforms our current vision of the world, our mind and spirit, through the practice of harmonious universal movements developed by its Founder, Kaiso Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. It is through its physical training system that Aikido helps us to get the technology we need to improve our lives by using unity, confluence and harmony (Aiki). The way of Aiki is a path intended to prepare us to avoid destructive actions in order to find the value and possibilities it offers in order to develop an Aiki culture.

The paradigm of left vs. right brain

The paradigm of the left hemisphere is the use of force to resolve circumstances.
The paradigm of the right hemisphere is the use of energy to include and guide.
In Aikido does not seek to upset the balance of the companion, breaking his structure ("Coup" Kurita Sensei says), that's the old concept of martial arts and / or sport.
We seek to guide and build two.
Therefore, we are no longer working with "technical" martial art "waza", we are developing mobilizations.
During the mobilizations, when we are going through a Hanmi (Hirari or Migi) the whole arm and shoulder the side that lies ahead, should be on the inside of the leg the same side, i.e. should be not loosing the relationship /connection with Seika Tanden.
Shiho Nage is a movement to "open" (open up). It is an opening on the grades between the North and the North West. (Northwest's probably because they are not 45 ° but its about half, 22.5 °)That's an opening angle, first in our body after our brain. (Or both at the same time?)
