Hi everyone, welcome once again and this is the Full Fight channel!
Today, we will have an interview about Aikido with teacher Thiago Santana,
The guy is black belt, 3rd degree. Look ...
That interview will be unmissable.
The interview will not be so long but it will have a lot of nice things.
Will talk about how graduation works in aikido,
The origin of aikido,
The principles of aikido,
Anyway, it's going to be a must see. I will not extend much, check the interview with teacher Thiago Santana, about aikido.
Let's go to the video ?!
Aikido, the word ...
By the root of the ideogram,
Then, this first ideogram here above,
It means: join, integrate, fit ...
The second ideogram, which is this one here,
What is the '' ki '' of '' kido ''
Is the same ideogram that is written in acupuncture calligraphy.
Often mistranslated,
As if it were an almost surreal energy, something like that.
But by the root of this ideogram,
Here is the rice seed,
And here is breath, steam.
Then it is the steam produced by the rice seed, that is,
The food is ingested,
And it produces vitality.
So...
Perhaps the closest translation into the Portuguese language, would be vitality,
In this second ideogram.
And the latter, who is well known in the martial arts,
Alone he has another name,
But when it is in a complex ideogram like this, it is called ''do''
What is the day
This ''do'' of the way,
It's not like it's ...
A point from here to there,
The ''do'' of the way, is a form of walking, way past.
So that's the purpose of it.
Joining everything: integrate, join, fit, reconcile ...
Vitality, as a way of being ... as a way of walking.
Then, what we apply in the movements of ... techniques of basic principle,
We perform with that feeling.
Basically, what we perform on a daily basis, needs that same feeling.
To unite, to fit in, to conciliate, to integrate. As a way of being.
So it's not a waste of energy, it's a very big energy savings.
It is very difficult to speak of aikido,
When talking about the system,
The great aikido system, it is ...
It is as if it were a great sphere. Here you have several schools.
We can not characterize aikido as various styles,
Because it would be a lack of rigor to say that it has several styles.
What happens basically is that, one school studies content here, another studying another there ...
And there we find ourselves in content study, we separate ourselves in study of content,
But we are always on the same surface,
Stepping on the same floor.
Then this is basically the function.
But that does not mean that they are styles,
Because style is a very fixed thing,
And the founder said that aikido has no form, so that's the basic difference.
The basic difference of having no form in this movement,
it's...
Is to want much closer to a feeling than what we do with the body.
Then what we will leave impregnated in the body, in the movement, is the feeling that people practice.
In aikido too, another central feature, independent of schools,
it's...
Is that aikido, does not use the idea of opponents.
So you have two training partners,
Someone runs the movement, (we call it tori), someone gets the move (we call uke)
So there are data moments in the training that this is rotated, in functions,
But in no time there are two people struggling.
So they are fitting together, reconciling, integrating,
as a way of being.
So there is no such feeling of rivalry during training.
This is one of the main characteristics that it has in aikido.
And I believe it would be a lack of rigor for me too,
Try to define what aikido would be in a brief way.
What we realize, is ...
maybe the best way to define it (aikido), is to seek the sources,
Then it is to seek the founder himself to tell us what is and is not aikido.
So we always had a question of trying to explain aikido,
But I think the school's function here is to get these backgrounds all the time.
So that ... it is he who will define us what is and what is not, aikido.
And I, in the role of school leader,
I will try to do my utmost not to omit this teaching nor to try to add anything that is not within the traditional body of aikido,
Or opinions of their own, or whatever.
Then the goal of aikido is to build a society of peace,
When you start mastering your own spirit of aggression. This is the basic purpose.
It is a message of a culture of peace.
If there is a culture of violence, that people live today basically in Brazil,
I think it is also a possibility of developing a culture of peace.
Was when the founder himself wanted the world to experience the path of art.
* Thanking *
For a long time, there was that ...
Attempt to show that ... people ...
Perhaps the most adequate word for me, in Portuguese is not that we use technique in aikido, we use principle.
So a basic difference is when someone talks like that, look ...
There are several types of chair. With long, lower seat, three-legged chair, two, one, four ...
One thing is the idea of chair, so in aikido, technique would be these types of chair.
And the essence, the principle, would be the chair,
So basically, we work, it's not ... so, in a minor way, as if they were types of technique.
But it is a principle that rules what is in fact a chair.
In the case of movements, are the principles of shiho nague, irimi nague, kote gaeshi ...
And are principles that fit between them.
And ... are defined that way.
Then, perhaps, in the Portuguese language it is more appropriate to say that we have principles and not techniques.
* André *: Master, how does graduation work? The tracks, how does that work?
Then the school here, we are part of the Maruyama Institute, which is an institute recognized by the Aikikai Foundation of Japan.
it is...
Currently, aikido. he...
He is led by the Aikikai Foundation of Japan in the figure of Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba. what is...
The grandson of the founder,
And all black belt exams for example, they are recognized by the Aikikai Foundation of Japan.
They are all issued certification and all records are issued there.
The graduations they start with the 5th kyu, equivalent to the yellow band,
4th kyu - purple band,
3rd kyu - green belt,
2nd kyu - blue band,
1st kyu - brown band,
And he does the first examination for shodan,
Then, after the shodan, nidan - 2nd grade, 3rd grade and so on.
The Maruyama sensei has 7th grade,
Was the first Brazilian to receive this degree.
And basically from ... so, every track of that, every kyu ...
It has a set of principles to be performed in the exam,
Which is requested.
Has a minimum time, of course, for each of them,
To be summoned to take the exam.
it is...
The interesting thing is that the curriculum is the same one that is applied in Japan. It is identical.
So we do not have a grid in Brazil and another in Japan,
a mesma grade executada em Tóquio é a mesma executada aqui na escola.
Then basically principle, of execution of movements,
These movements, they were thought of in a gradual way,
So they will accumulate up to the black belt exam.
The basic difference is that you being black belt, does not characterize that you are an instructor,
Being black belt, you have a symbolism for the community, which is you to be recognized internationally as a black belt, as a practitioner.
Because all the students of kyu, they are aspiring to real practitioner.
Only the black belt is officially known as a practitioner.
Then that is the difference, if becoming an instructor goes a lot of the relationship you have with ...
With your teacher and he will entrust you with this function,
Because being an aikido instructor, in our organization,
she is not...
It is not a purpose. Because so, you saw that at the end of training, we cleaned the mat,
So, who gave the training, is not more important than who cleans the mat.
Then are functions that are executed within the space,
And are very important functions because ...
In the society of the people, it is said that whoever picks up garbage at the door of the people who produces garbage,
Is less important than you producing.
Then this imbalance is not passed into the school, it is not passed into the dojo. So...
Who gives the training, it is not more important. Are just different functions for the large set to work.
Then there is a purpose that you get to practice aikido because you need to become an instructor,
This is not the purpose,
Are functions that are performed, only for the maintenance of the art,
And the diffusion of it.
Then that is the only purpose.
The rankings basically work like this:
When you achieve a minimum amount of movement, training, movement sets,
More, their participation, their personal development,
And then the instructor invites you to take the band exam.
So in this invitation you do not refuse, nor ask to do graduation,
Then it is a trusting relationship,
Of who will be your instructor who is ...
Tracing the ...
The way he wants you, and that relationship of trust is when he tells you,
When you need to be within that challenge or not.
When you take a graduation examination,
This is not to say that you are an expert in the movements you have just shown,
In fact, you are showing to the whole school, to your friends, your training partners,
What happened during so much time of training, that is, you are realizing that:
It was really worth it to have left home for my development,
as also...
it's...
For the instructor, it is being passed on to him that: it's only worth you to have trusted me,
And have delegated so many movements that for centuries ... it is ... they have come here in the west, in the city where people live.
that's it.
Guys, very cool interview right ?!
Master Thiago,
Thank you very much for the trust here in the channel Full Fight,
Look ... very cool even this interview,
What I found most impressive, was the issue of graduation,
Because in other arts, when you come in the black, you are the master,
And in aikido, when you arrive at the black, you are considered, now yes, as a practitioner,
In other tracks you are an aspiring practitioner.
cool, right?!
and another singularity that Professor Thiago told here is time,
He did not speak in the interview, but we talk here.
average...
6 years for you to take the black,
Only that, it's that guy who trains every day.
because...
Other than that, put 10 years up, so you can get a black one.
You think it's soft?
that's it.
