「誰も見てへんし、出たら」のNさんの一言で無謀にも日本武道館の演武大会
に参加してきました。8000名近い人が集まり、熱気むんむん。
一日中見ていると飽きてくるかなぁと思っていましたが、動きのきれいな人は
私が見ていても分るし、各々の道場の個性もよく分り、楽しく過ごせました。
せいぶ館演武はマックスがかっこ良かったです。私はたった1分間なのに変な
汗をかいてしまいました。
大会後の宴席で、遠藤先生の奥様が「指導者はやはり、皆に分るように演じな
ければ駄目です。遠藤はきっちり出来ていました。云々」と言っておられた姿に、
本日一番の”武”の心を感じました。
合気道をやっていた父の命日に、第50回という節目の演武大会に参加出来た事
を光栄に思います。それはまた自分が決して合気道から離れられないと実感した
一日でもあります。
記念すべき第50回の全日本演武大会に、せいぶ館道場の次世代を担う皆さんと
日本武道館で一緒に演武が出来た事をうれしく思っています。
第50回の全日本合気道演武大会
It was my second time riding the Shinkansen, the “bullet
train,” so I was very excited. Sadly I slept through riding by Fuji-san. On the other hand I was looking forward to a
weekend filled with Aikido.
The demonstration, as always, was very interesting. It was
enlightening to see a variety of styles and approaches to Aikido, both to see
which ones were impressive and which didn’t suit my personal view of Aikido.
It was also nice to see Nanae-san again, who still didn’t
reply to my New Year’s email I sent her in January (I'm still waiting).
Of course Endo-sensei and the other Shihan were very impressive
in demonstrating their own styles, but it was also fun to see familiar faces like
Sobue-sensei and Sebastien, as well as Fujii-sensei. Andrew, Tanaka-san,
Saeki-san and I engaged in lively conversation about what we believe Aikido is
about in light of the All Japan Aikido Demonstration and Andrew and I received
many insights into the nuances of martial arts from our sempai.
Ultimately, the 50th All Japan Aikido
Demonstration marks the last one I will be attending in my high school time in
Japan. I thought I would be a lot more emotional, but I was rather content; the
Zen Nihon proved a fitting close to my time in Japan and I hope a suitable conclusion
to my service in the Seibukan Aikido Dojo.
一緒に行った人、ありがとうございました。これからもずっと合気道でがんばります。
The 50th All-Japan meeting was a lot of fun this year! It was interesting to see each dojo’s interpretation of the techniques we all practice. The smaller demonstrations given by high-ranking Senseis and Shihans gave me a lot of motivation to work towards a high level of Aikido. There was a heavy focus on fundamentals and kihon-waza but it never seemed repetitive – perhaps because at the highest level Aikido remains dynamic in spite of it’s apparent simplicity. I felt a lot more relaxed during my own demonstrations this year, and enjoyed the chance to show what I have learned to our community. Looking forward to next year!
