Expressing chi in words

The word "aiki" exists among the representative techniques of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu.

It is very difficult to express it in words, and to break them down with care.
In most cases, it is expressed by using Ki to block the opponent's movement, etc.

Yamamoto Sensei of Yamato-kai, my teacher, does not like to use the word "ki" because he believes that all things can be described in words.

It is just very difficult to express it.

For example.

Take away the opponent's freedom by attacking without moving it while it is still under attack.

This may seem like attacking with the limbs other than the receiving arm, but it is a technique that attacks the opponent based on the attack line of the body, a phenomenon that cannot be described by physically punching or kicking.

This may seem like a very advanced technique, but it is one that can be mastered with practice.

It will seem difficult because it uses parts of the human body that have never been used before. Simply put, the Vulcan greeting hand form is not an easy thing to do, but with practice, you can do it, just the same as you can do the Vulcan greeting hand form

Muscle strength that is normally used in any part of the body to lift an object or open a door gets in the way of passing unused body strength.

By relaxing these muscles, we can see the initial stages of the aiki technique

In Japan, there have been ninjas, samurai, and warriors since ancient times, and it is said that people who were disciplined on a daily basis came into their professions through daily training.

The training of Aikijujutsu is also the fruit of daily effort.

Please experience it for yourself.
