Aikido YuishinkaiAfter a long career in Aikido Master Koretoshi Maruyama spent 10 yrs in seclusion in a temple. He
left the temple on October 9, 2001, during which time he had received permission from the temple
priest to establish Aikido Yuishinkai on May 9, 1996, which he has continued to develop until the present day.
As a result of this 10-year period of training, he developed the Motto for Members of Aikido Yuishinkai, something that is
read aloud by members on awakening, after training, and before going to sleep. |
Aikido Yuishinkai Student Handbook written by Michael Williams , Chief Instructor of Aikido Yuishinkai International, contains 150 pages of relevant information for beginners, advanced students and instructors. The Aikido Yuishinkai Student Handbook is an essential tool for all those training with Aikido Yuishinkai. This comprehensive handbook covers a wide range of topics including the founder's philosophy and motto, dojo etiquette, principles for character development, breathing, yuki, techniques, grading syllabus, aikido for children and more. In the production of this work, references have been made from various books on Aikido, in particular Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere by Westbrook and Ratti, from which a number of drawings were copied, as well as a chapter on Yuki from Order, Spontaneity and the Body by Master Haruchika Noguchi. |
| Founders Philosophy Words have a power of their own. The power of the spoken word was recognised in ancient Japan as 'kotodama', or word spirit. To speak a word is to encourage it to come true. Your life energy responds to sounds and thoughts, as expressed in the spoken word. When you fill your daily life with positive words and thoughts, your life is filled with the power of Ki. In this way you can keep mentally and physically healthy, and have a positive influence on others as well. Words have real power, and can produce practical results in your life. |
Motto I am mind itself. |
