Exclusive
Interview with John Messores
Early days with Saotome
Sensei |
by
Paul Swainson
My
original Aikido instructor, Bill McIntyre
had met Saotome Sensei in the summer
of 1974 at Hombu in Tokyo. He asked
him if he had a young instructor who
might want to move to the United States
to teach in our dojo in Sarasota, Florida.
Saotome Sensei's response was " I will
come." It took a year to plan, work

muscular strength becomes necessary
to overcome resistance. Read more... |

Tachi-dori
Kiri-age
Correct
Perception |
by
Robert Wolfe
If we imagine an
attack from the perspective of
the swordsman, I think many of
us would admit we'd likely be
surprised to find our intended
victim stepping forward to evade
and counter rather than attempting
to escape the descending blade,
and that surprise could conceivably
yield a suki prior to our initiation
of a follow-on cut .Read more...
