Isshokenmei

What is the right attitude when training? The Japanese term is isshokenmei. It originally meant “frantic” but now is used with the meaning of “whole-hearted”. When on the mat the Aikido student should be fully in the present, committed to the activity and willing to take risks. Only then can technique develop well. Only then can awareness be deepened. Only then can true self-knowledge be discovered.

Love the Aikido training here under Sensei George and his senior students. Been learning a lot since I joined after covid. Good folks that help you along the way. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. So much to learn, best gift you can get is improving yourself every step along the way.

Sensei Hewson is an example and teaches with both the background of old Bushido and modern Western essence; having the sensitivity to be both gentle and stern as an instructor. The assistant instructors are committed to Aikido … and teach beginners with patience.
