Aikido A Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba (often referred to by his title 'O Sensei' or 'Great Teacher'). On a purely physical level it is an art involving some throws and joint locks that are derived from Jujitsu and some throws and other techniques derived from Kenjutsu. Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement. Sensei, Dave Sawyer teaches Aikido on Friday nights from 6:30 to 8:00 PM and Sunday mornings from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. |
"Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it
becomes steel and is transformed into razor-sharp sword. Human beings
develop in the same fashion" |
"Daily training in the Art of Peace allows you inner divinity to
shine brighter and brighter. Do not concern yourself with the right
and wrong of others. Do not be calculating or act unnaturally. Keep
your mind set on the Art of Peace, and do not criticize other teachers
or traditions. The Art of Peace never restrains, restricts, or shackles
anything. It embraces all and purifies everything." |
