You said you were an assistant nike tn to Sensei Ellis and the only junior at that time and that you were also the general dojo assistant so you would have been in close contact with many if not all of the old teachers, what were your impressions of the ones you came into contact with ?. I will mention them from the highest grade down. Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. I would see Abbe Sensei occasionally on the aikido mat, he would step onto the mat to make a point or teach. He didn't often bother to change into his gi, he would come on the mat in this old brown de-mob suit; (after the war soldiers were given a brown suit when leaving the army, and it was called a de-mob suit, I am sure that this was one).
Unlike some of his so called "FRIENDS" who claim to have had long and meaningful philosophical /psychological conversations with him, his English was poor and he did not waste it. Ken Williams Sensei. Sensei K Williams the head of the dojo did not use me as much as the others. He was in total control of the dojo and all who were in it. He was not only aikido but 3rd dan judo and a very good one at that. He would officiate as a referee at the American Air Base at Ruislip, once nike yeezy he was a referee at the USAF international Judo Championships. We would get a lot of American students come to train at the Hut in our beginners classes. David Williams Sensei. David was in charge of the Karate section before the arrival of Harada Sensei, I enjoyed my regular practice with Ken Griffiths, and later Ken Waite who was to become the first European assistant to Harada Sensei.
Unfortunately, Trevor Later had some health problems and nike hyperadapt the dojo was then run by my old friend Andy Allen from the HUT With the assistance of John Harding who still practices today and who we are still in contact with. With Trevor I re-visited many dojos including Sensei K Williams who had left the HUT and was now in the Rhonnda Valley in Wales. I also visited the HUT which was now being run by Sensei Haydn Foster who always made me very welcome. Aikido visits to Europe. Sensei, could you tell me about your visits to Europe at this time? Sure, these were good day's. Trevor and I would visit Noro Sensei at the Paris Aiki-Kai. Noro Sensei was really pleased to see us, and on my first visit he surprised me by awarding me 2nd dan which was unusual as I was not a regular student, he never ever charged me for gradings or lessons.
Noro Sensei reminded me of nike id canada the time I was at the HUT on one of his visits, where he recommended to Sensei Williams that I should only do backward ukemi (break falling) until his next visit in two weeks time, Sensei Williams said he would punish me with a shinai if he caught me doing forward ukemi, however Noro did not visit in two weeks but 4 months later, I had by this time adapted to some amazing breakfalls from all angles except forward. Noro asked Sensei Williams in astonishment, "why is Mr Eastman breakfalling in this odd way". When informed it was as a result of his instruction, he just roared with laughter. He then said this was very similar to an experience he had with Osensei and then said the experience would do me no harm anyway.
I guess that's how I eventually got to that point of my preparation for dan grade. I received my first dan grade just before I became 21 yrs of age. At the same time I had just completed my apprenticeship as an engineer. It was then that Sensei Williams asked Sensei Ellis and I to travel and spread the 'gospel' of Aikido. We were the early 'disciples' as he put it. Although aikido had started to spread a little, there were areas that had no knowledge of this new martial art. My beloved "Isetta" bubble car, which I had pushed to it's limits, had finally BURST !It had to be dumped. Luckily at the same time, Sensei Ellis had just bought a one year old Mini car which was in those days the "business". So looking at the car and the prospects of aikido and travel and some amorous adventures I readily agreed to go along.
Choreography Aikidoists are often accused of practicing " Choreographed Aikido" and to be honest I must admit that these claims are very often justified, with Uke (attacker) preparing to break fall long before he makes his attack, and most of them attack off balance , therefore making any multiples of techniques possible with the minimum of effort and of course this makes Tori (defender) look "fantastic". What is really sad nike air max 97 womens is that these people believe that this is good Aikido. Kenshiro Abbe Sensei would always say to us that "two" students are training at the same time, one is Uke who is learning and improving his attacking techniques and his opponent Tori is also learning and improving his defensive techniques, whilst we were training with Abbe Sensei if Uke's foot or heel came off the mat as he attacked Abbe Sensei would give the offending leg a good whack with a shinai (bamboo sword) he would then say " My [img]http://www.gasamling.ca/images/shoes/nike air max 97 womens-355rvc.jpg[/img] English is very bad but my shinai speaks fluently!". |
