合気道ーAikido at HOMEー
本部稽古自粛期間中、家の中でもできる稽古法を植芝充央本部道場長がご紹介します。
本部道場の朝稽古に参加している感覚で、画面の前で一緒に稽古しましょう。

Aikido at Home
During the period of practice cancellation Mitsuteru Ueshiba Hombu Dojo-cho will introduce practices that can be done at home.
Created with the feeling of morning practice at Hombu Dojo, please practice with us in front of your computer screen.

本日の稽古内容
・舟漕ぎ運動
・四方斬り（毎回違った内容をお送りします）
・道歌紹介（『合気神髄―合気道開祖・植芝盛平語録』より）
(これを機に、開祖が遺した道歌に触れてみましょう。)

Today’s practice
• Rowing exercise
• Shiho giri
• Introduction of the Doka, Poems of Aikido (from Aikido Shinzui Aikido Kaiso Ueshiba Morihei Goroku, written by the Founder Morihei Ueshiba)
• Doka are poems (waka) written by the Founder about Aikido.

• They are written in old Japanese (kobun), so there can be many interpretations of them.
• In accordance with that, this is a loose translation so that viewers can grasp some meaning for themselves, and in no way intended to be a definitive translation or interpretation of these works.

On this occasion, we will touch on the Doka the Founder left us as part of his legacy.

Today's Doka:
Recited text: Koujou wa hiji mo keiko mo araba koso gokui nozomuna mae zo mietari.
Translation: "Understanding Aikido’s spirit and techniques is important, is advancement.
It is not looking to learn the deepest mysteries from the start, but accumulating as you go that is important."

IMPORTANT NOTICE

道主挨拶
A Message from Doshu
(English is below the Japanese)

世界中に新型コロナウィルスが感染拡大しております。感染してしまわれた方々の一日も早いご快癒を願い、お亡くなりになられた方々とそのご家族に対し心からの哀悼の意を表します。

現在、新型コロナウィルス（COVID-19）が世界中に広まる中、感染防止対策として様々なことが縮小・中止となり、社会がすっかりどんよりとした曇り空と化してしまっています。

合気道に関しましても各地域で行事は取りやめ、施設閉館により通常の稽古すら行うことが出来なくなっております。やむを得ない事とはいえ大変残念に思います。
確かに新型コロナウィルス感染防止と自己防衛は大切なことですが、それにより不自由な生活に心まで疲弊してしまっていないでしょうか。人としての思いやり、優しさを失っていないでしょうか。今この新型コロナウィルスによって人としての心のありようが試されているような気がします。

「合気道の心の体現である丸い捌き、和合の心」は人として最も大切にしなければならない事だと思います。今、このような時こそ、和合の心を大切に、新型コロナウィルスを恐れても人としての道徳心を失わず、恐れる余りに争い、差別などが起こらぬように、皆が心穏やかに和(なご)やかになっていたいと思います。

この感染が終息し、合気道の日々の稽古を取り戻せる時まで、「和合の精神」を忘れることなく、日々の稽古を行える時に備え、歩んでいただきたいと願っております。

COVID-19 is spreading all around the world. I pray for the prompt recovery of all those who have been affected by it, and I would also like to express my sincere condolences to the families of all who have passed away.

In these times when COVID-19 is spreading around the world, as a measure to avoid infection various things and events are being reduced or cancelled, and our society feels as though dark clouds are hanging over us.

Regarding Aikido, events are being cancelled in all the regions, and most people cannot even keep practicing because of the closing of their training places. Although unavoidable, it is incredibly unfortunate.

“The circular movement embodies Aikido’s spirit, the spirit of harmony”. I believe this thought is the most important for us as humans. Right now, especially at this time, we must value the spirit of harmony and not lose our moral sense to fear of the virus. Preventing the spread of infection and self-protection is important. At the same time, are people not becoming exhausted from the fear the current situation is causing? Are we not losing our human thoughtfulness, our kindness? It feels like our state of mind is being tested by this virus.

We must fight this fear without losing our sense of morality and committing any kind of discrimination towards others, being calm and affable.

Until the time that this infection ends, and we can go back to our daily Aikido practice, I pray for all of us not to forget the “spirit of harmony”, and to keep walking the same path together. ... See more
