Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morihei Ueshiba, who founded Aikido early in this century, intended that his martial art would give form to profound spiritual truth, and lead to a unification of the world's peoples. He saw Aikido not as a fighting method or as a competitive sport but rather as a means of becoming one with the laws of universal order--ki, or life energy. Unfortunately, the subtleties of Ueshiba's teachings, veiled in the esoteric terminology of Shinto, can be puzzling for even the most advanced practitioners. They are not passed down today, and have never been introduced to the West. Gleason, a fifth-degree (Godan) black belt in Aikido, recognizing the importance of the spiritual aspects of the discipline, researched its roots in Shinto, and in this book is able to offer a clear explanation of Ueshiba's teachings. • Unlike the common "how-to" manuals on basic technique, this is the first book to introduce the underlying spiritual principles of Aikido--the elusive concept of kototama (word souls), expressed as one spirit, four souls, three origins, and eight powers--and how they relate to the forms. • Teaches the student how to use Aikido to accomplish spiritual goals. • Reveals little-known teachings of Shinto and Aikido, relating them to Buddhism, Christianity, and other spiritual teachings.

Download or read book Aikido: O-Sensei’s Sublime Synthesis, Vol. 2 written by Michael DeMarco, M.A. and published by Via Media Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we fully understand aikido, or any other martial art for that matter, when we have only been exposed to part of it? While learning about the art, we can easily make assumptions and be tricked by false impressions. In most cases, even instructors do not have enough background to grasp the entirety of the art and are happy to work with part of it. The content in this special two-volume anthology details the many facets of aikido as it was formulated by Morihei Ueshiba (1883–1969)—O-Sensei, the great teacher. Each chapter contributes to a piece of the aikido puzzle by providing historical details, insightful technical drills (bare handed and with weapons), and components that have flavored this art with a spiritual essence. From the Ueshiba wellspring flows a number of streams—political splinter groups offering their own take on what aikido should be and how it should be practiced. Each branch may stand on its own, but a good number of scholars and practitioners prefer a more encompassing representation of what O-Sensei taught. So, chapters in these volumes help “put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” Volume I includes ten chapters and volume II another fourteen. The authors—twenty-three in all—present superb credentials as scholars and practitioners of aikido. On the academic side, you’ll find chapters that detail aikido’s philosophy, from ethical relationships and practical theory to the subtle spiritual dimension. A few authors highlight the circumstances regarding the transmission of aikido from teacher to student. Some authors show how culture influences the perception and understanding of aikido when it travels outside Japan. Aikido is often practiced as a system of body movement encompassing a philosophy of peace and harmony. Others may focus on learning the art for its effective methods of self-defense. Composed of material previously published in the Journal of Asian Martial Arts, this two-volume anthology is heavy on the technical aspects of aikido that both teachers and students would benefit by reading. Training methods are discussed in detail, supported by hundreds of illustrations of attack and defense. Whatever your primary interest is in aikido, Aikido: O-Sensei’s Sublime Synthesis will prove to be a great reference for the scholar and practitioner. We hope this convenient collection of quality material dealing with Morihei Ueshiba’s martial discipline will benefit your research and inspire the practice of this elegant art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of Aikido dojos in the U.S. estimated at up to 1,000, this Japanese martial art has never been more popular. This revised edition of the best-selling Aikido Exercises for Teaching and Training provides an ideal companion for both teachers and students of all Aikido systems. With over 100 illustrations and 300 pages of detailed techniques and exercises, Aikido Exercises for Teaching and Training has proved itself as the definitive guide to the “peaceful martial art.” The exercises here are based on hitori waza, the simple building blocks that underlie the most spectacular Aikido throws. These are augmented with testing techniques, class demonstrations, and underlying basics of physics, anatomy, and psychology. The book includes an explanation of the relationships between exercises and throws; an approach for safe mastery of rolling and ukemi skills; the anatomy of wristlocks; useful training equipment; exercises for individual, off-mat practice; and verbal self-defense techniques. Unlike most Aikido manuals, this one draws from multiple systems (including Aikikai and Yoshinkan Aikido as well as Judo) and many seemingly unrelated topics to enhance understanding of the underlying principles of Aikido. Peppered with humorous anecdotes, creative analogies, and real-life lessons, this is a practical and inspiring guide for all Aikidoists.

Book excerpt: Purpose & Practice lays out tools of incalculable value to anyone interested in getting really good at what they do, whatever that may be. These are tools, some little known, of mental approach from the art, science and philosophy of Aikido. This book reveals some revolutionary ideas behind the art and the links between its extraordinary physical results and practices of "Mind", all of which adds up to a blueprint as applicable to organisations as it is for individuals. Aikido is often justifiably seen as one of the most impenetrable martial arts, largely because people so often experience it, even for many years, without knowing some of its core elements, which have all too often been forgotten, obscured or unknown. Purpose & Practice is a challenging book that fills in some of these essential gaps while helping the reader accelerate his or her progress and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the introduction to "A Journey Through Aikido: Uniting Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Centuries of Harmony and Discipline," readers are invited into the profound world of Aikido, a martial art that transcends mere physical combat to embody principles of harmony and discipline. Here, we embark on a voyage through time, tracing the rich tapestry of Aikido's history and its enduring legacy across millennia. We begin by delving into the origins of Aikido, exploring its ancient roots and the cultural milieu from which it emerged. From the battlefields of feudal Japan to the peaceful confines of modern dojos, Aikido has evolved through centuries of practice and refinement. Central to our exploration is the visionary figure of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. Through his profound spiritual insights and dedication to martial arts, Ueshiba crafted a holistic philosophy that forms the bedrock of Aikido practice. We delve into his life, teachings, and the transformative impact he had on generations of practitioners. At the heart of Aikido lie principles of harmony and unity, which serve as guiding beacons for practitioners on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. We unpack these philosophical underpinnings, elucidating how they inform every aspect of Aikido training, from techniques on the mat to interactions in daily life. With a focus on practicality and effectiveness, we explore the path of Aikido practice, detailing training methods and techniques that cultivate not only physical prowess but also mental acuity and emotional resilience. Through diligent training and dedicated practice, practitioners learn to embody the principles of Aikido in their movements, fostering a profound sense of centeredness and balance. Aikido's relevance extends far beyond the confines of the dojo, finding application in various aspects of daily life. We examine how the principles of Aikido can be applied in self-defense situations, as well as in interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, and personal development. As we journey through the evolution of Aikido, we encounter a diverse array of schools and styles that have emerged over time. Each school offers its unique perspective on Aikido practice, enriching the art with new insights and approaches. Central to Aikido's transmission are the relationships between masters and disciples, which form the backbone of its oral tradition. We pay homage to the influential figures who have shaped Aikido's development and kept its flame alive through generations. Despite its Japanese origins, Aikido has transcended cultural boundaries to become a global phenomenon. We explore its spread and impact worldwide, tracing its journey from Japan to every corner of the globe. Yet, as with any art form, Aikido is not without its challenges and controversies. We navigate through debates within the Aikido community, addressing issues of authenticity, adaptation, and innovation. In a rapidly changing world, Aikido continues to adapt and evolve, remaining relevant in the face of modernity. We examine how practitioners navigate the tensions between tradition and innovation, preserving the essence of Aikido while embracing new insights and perspectives. Ultimately, "A Journey Through Aikido" is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the profound depth and enduring legacy of this ancient martial art. Through meticulous research, insightful analysis, and engaging storytelling, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of Aikido's history, philosophy, and practice, illuminating its timeless wisdom and relevance in today's world.

Download or read book Contemplative Pedagogies for Transformative Teaching, Learning, and Being written by Jing Lin and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our current systems of education, there is a trend toward compartmentalizing knowledge, standardizing assessments of learning, and focusing primarily on quantifiable and positivist forms of inquiry. Contemplative inquiry, on the other hand, takes us on a transformative pathway toward wisdom, morality, integrity, equanimity, and joy (Zajonc, 2009). These holistic learning practices are needed as a counterbalance to the over-emphasis on positivism that we see today. In addition to learning quantifiable information, we also need to learn to be calmer, wiser, kinder, and happier. This book aims to find and share various pathways leading to these ends. This book will describe educational endeavors in various settings that use contemplative pedagogies to enable students to achieve deep learning, peace, tranquility, equanimity, and wisdom to gain new understanding about self and life, and to grow holistically. Embodiment is a central concept in this book. We hope to highlight strategies for exploring internal wisdoms through engaging ourselves beyond simply the rational mind. Contemplative pedagogies such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, dance, arts, poetry, reflective writing and movements, can help students embody what they learn by integrating their body, heart, mind, and spirit.
