In addition to regular classes, we are currently offering:
Aiki-no-Yugen-no-Kigaku-ho
: understanding that the mystery of existence is directly related to the ki-connectedness of the entire universe allows us to influence an audience, fellow-performers, or an opposing combatant. Practised as a ‘do’, kigaku is the gateway to the mysterious: monji yugen kigaku ho. A returning to the roots of the ancient (ken-no-michi) to deepen the modern (Suzuki-ho).
For performers, artists, and creative practitioners of every tradition.
(every first Saturday of the month, 9:00-10:30am)
A Journey Through O’Sensei’s ‘Budo’
: a series of workshops, designed to explore the ki-flow implications of the words of the 1938 presentation mokuroku/manual. Including the tai-jutsu “put your feet here, do this with your hands” already so well represented in the English language, but adding to it the sword movements embodied in each waza, the ki-flow implied by them, and the “Look at t h i s with t h i s kind of vision” of traditional Japanese practice. As Musashi wrote: “The teacher is the needle, the student is as the thread.”
