Sime restrictions apply like no contact and no sharing equipment but we have 75years of martial knowledge to call on in the form of Sensei and as Aikidoka know there is a huge amount of training we can still do.

01.01.2022 #aikido #selfdefence #selfdefense Training tips: Body awareness training for #speed and #power - for more, follow/like us on facebook! #cbr I always do a few minutes of body awareness training before I launch into my daily aikido-specific training. It helps me centre and start moving in the most optimal way for martial arts with maximum speed and power! Then I bed that down during my training, and make it a part of my techniques. My body awareness training takes a couple of... different forms. Often, I’ll practice some Alexander Technique a method devised in the 20th century to minimize muscle tension and improve full-body coordination. Perfect for aikido, and (to me) very similar to shin-shin toitsu, albeit from a Western perspective. There’s plenty of info on the internet, and you probably have an AT teacher nearby. I’ll often do some semi-supine (read up on the net) and some basic stand up/sit down exercises just to get moving the way I want. Other times, I’ll do the standing like a tree exercise for ten minutes or so you can find more info on the internet, but it’s literally just standing motionless for a period of time, and mentally trying to release any muscle tension you become aware of. It sounds easy but try it and see! You might find pains and tightness very quickly. This exercise helps us coordinate body and mind, and helps us attune to the heaven and earth axis our natural alignment! Both of these methods are taught by John Turnbull Sensei at the National Aikido Federation, for great benefit to our martial arts and our daily lives.
