Today we had planned to do an Aiki-jo class at Balbriggan Dojo. However, many of our members were attending the seminar with Quaranta sensei, organised by Aikikai Ireland in Athboy, so only beginners were present on the mats.

Instead of the planned advanced Jo practice, we went back to the very basics of Aiki-ken. Learning the sword is an important part of developing correct body posture and learning to initiate movement from the hips.

We covered:

🔹 Ken no Kamae
🔹 Shiboru Undo
🔹 Shiboru Undo Irimi
🔹 Shiboru Undo Tanren
🔹 Ichi no Suburi
🔹 Ni no Suburi
🔹 San no Suburi
🔹 Yon no Suburi
🔹 Go no Suburi
🔹 Roku no Suburi
🔹 Shichi no Suburi
🔹 Zengogiri
🔹 Shihogiri
🔹 Happogiri

Even when the planned programme changes, there is always something valuable to return to. The basics are where we build the foundation for everything that follows.
