#合気道 — Public Fediverse posts

  1. It might not be relevant to anyone, but recently I refactored my #Aikidō page a lot. I try to translate all vocabulary literally and semantically and try to build up an index of forms. “Give me a random form” (uniformly distributed or biased by frequency) might be a helpful tool for exam trainings.
    There is an unconstrained way to go (video examples from Youtube, IPA transcription, audio files for pronounciation, …), but I am still proud of the current milestone:

    This concludes my focused #Aikido time for this year. #合気道

  2. So we offer this #Aikidō training for families. Essentially parents can come with their children (usually one parent, one or two children) and do some exercises together (20% Aikidō, 80% game or fitness). Compared to kids training, parents take responsibility of their children (we are not educated teachers). Compared to the training for adults, it is less demanding and more playful.

    It is so fascinating to see parents interact with their children. There are parents, which are focused on learning/performing well themselves and children just follow their lead. There are parents which struggle with the exercises themselves, but keep telling their children how they are supposed to do it. And there are parents which get in the way of their children making their own experiences. It is so interesting to observe human behavior.

    And of course this situation can be transferred to Aikidō camps for adult training as well. So many people give unsolicited advice. Just apply the techniques in a good manner yourself as taught by #sensei. Novices can follow your lead then. If they really need a verbal explanation, they will ask for solicited advice and it is okay to respond then.

    Aikidō is about discovering yourself and making #budo experiences. Not about teaching others.
