TOKYO - 2018
Nikaido Mitsuru sensei's seminar
hold in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in late September gave
Sakhalin aikidokas significant positive charge prior
to autumn training trip to Tokyo. This trip to Hombu
Dojo tied with 50th Anniversary of Aikido Kobayashi
Dojo was planned by Sakhalin Aikido Federation for
the period of October 2-9, 2018.
The schedule of this traditional
trip included 13 practical classes. Classes in Hombu
Dojo were at the early morning. Those who came to
Homby Dojo at the first time got acquainted with
training process led by grand children of O Sensei.
More experienced aikidokas got excellent opportunity
to practice with uchi deshi.
SFA members also practiced in
Kobayashi Dojo; friendly and informal atmosphere
made positive impact on training process and practice
of aiki skills.
Anniversary seminar in Tokorozawa
Budokan Center became the culmination point of the
classes in Aikido Kobayashi Dojo. This event united
over 370 persons from over 20 countries of the world.
SFA members obtained the unique opportunity to practice,
make acquaintance and simply talk with colleagues
from various countries. Actually there was represented
almost all the world on tatami - from East to West
and from North to South.
Sightseeing program of this trip
could have been usual if it did not include travel
to Iwama town in Ibaraki province. It better to
use the word travel since it took quite long time
to get there and the difference between hurrying
Tokyo and calm Iwama was so bright. It seemed quite
clear why O Sensei leaved Tokyo for this town. Still
active Aiki Shine and Aiki Dojo built by O Sensei
were also amazing. Their tatami still hosts practical
classes and seminars.
Generally it would be fair to
note dynamic start of 2018/2019 study year in SFA.
The impressions from September event and October
trip to Tokyo are calming down, but SFA members
are preparing themselves for another, the third
in this season event - the seminar led by Fabrice
Groize to be hold on October 26 and 27, 2018 in
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
Definitely every such event, seminar,
trip has positive impact on progress of each and
every aikidoka, accelerates the technical progress
at any level. However these events are aimed, first
of all, on those who prepare themselves for dan
tests. The next dan test in SFA is scheduled on
April-May 2019.
AUTUMN
AIKI FRIENDS MEETING
On September 21-23 Sakhalin Aikido
Federation hosted seminar led by Nikaido Mitsuru
sensei (5 dan aikido aikikai).
Japanese masters made and still
making significant impact on training of Sakhalin
aikidokas. In particular Nikaido sensei was giving
classes for SFA members in the late 90's and early
2000's.
So joint practice is one of the best events for
aiki friends' meeting.
Nikaido sensei gave 6 classes
during these days. Two of them were for the youngest
aikidokas. Sensei emphasised attention on the basic
elements.
Friendly and easy style of teaching
helped participants to catch the key points and
information and motivated not only children, but
adults as well to practice at the classes.
Despite tight schedule the participants
did all their best to avoid missing a single class.
Four "adult" classes
were devoted practice of hands and hips manipulations.
Sensei's approach was based on change of direction
from moving up to moving down, it was the red line
of the practice, so some of participants called
it "Up & Down" practice.
In conclusion of the seminar Nikaido
sensei gave good wishes to the participants, asked
them to follow his advises and keep in mind pair
nature of aikido practice.
In reply to the words of gratitude
sensei expressed his hope that the knowledge and
skills received by the participants of seminar will
serve to further progress of Sakhalin Aikido Federation.

classes was growing up. Practical exercises were
realized in flow mode when participants practiced
in groups one by one without stop.

Sensei paid special attention to
the practice with traditional weapon (boken, jo,
tanto) as dan promotion tests include techniques
with it. On the final day of the seminar candidates

promotion tests. Yamawaki Shihan allowed other participants

18-23.04.2015
EASTER AIKIDO SEMINAR
April, may be, is the best time for
trip to Paris. At least spring time shows the most
exciting and most romantic one has ever heard about
capital of France.
Apple and cherry trees are in flowers
in April, narcissuses look out from grass. Spring
here is exciting and even air seems to turn head of
tourists. Even Parisians are in festive mood.
May be this is the reason why Paris
annually in April hosts hundreds of people devoted
themselves to aikido, amateurs and professionals.
Just think, one of Venceness gyms
gathered over 300 aikidokas from many countries. They
gathered at Easter Aikido Seminar lead by well known
Christian Tissier (7 dan, shihan).
Russia (and Sakhalin) was represented
by five members of Sakhalin Aikido Federation; instructors
Victor Misaylov and Vitaliy Korzh, together with their
students Alexander Severov, Olga Sekriyan and Sergey
Sosnovskiy.
Participants of seminar spent Easter
week in aikido practice gripping various features
of technical moments from masters - honorable Bruno
Gonzalez, Pascal Guilleman lead by Christian Tissier.
What is it to participate in seminar
like this? It is practice on tatami three - four times
a day, exhausting practice with sword in ken-justsu
Kashima Shinryu style trying to absorb the skills
and knowledge from instructors. Their teaching skills
together with aikido skills really excite.
Seminar passed in one breath. The
result is a lot of material for practicing in our
dojo. Administration of Sakhalin Aikido Federation
made decision that instructors should take part in
such seminars hold by French masters on regular basis
to improve their skills and teaching approach.
Paris is ideal city for enamored
people after all, creating the atmosphere as if entire
world is created for them. Completely agree Paris
is ideal city for enamored people... aikido enamored
people.
10-20.02.2015
PRACTICE OF AIKIDO IN JAPAN
Training trips to Japan became regular
for members of Sakhalin Aikido Federation. Traditionally
they visit Japan in February for a period of about
two weeks filled by practical classes and cultural
events.
In this year the training trip started
on Feb. 10. Sakhalin aikidoists had ten days filled
with a month workload. They practiced under the leadership
of world class teachers; such as Doshu - Moriteru
Ueshiba, Waka-sensei - Mitsuteru Ueshiba, Kobayashi
So-shihan, Hiroaki shihan, Yamawaki sensei, Sugawara
shihan, Osawa shihan.
Usual training day of Sakhalin aikidoists
was as follows: 5-00 AM wake up, first practical class
at 06-30 AM under coach of Doshu or His son - Waka
sensei. Practical class in Hombu Dojo is one hour.
Approximately at 8-00 AM aikidoists had breakfast,
then spare time before lunch. After lunch - preparation
to evening class in Kobayashi Dojo.
Tokyo is the biggest city in the
world, sized as London and New York put together and
therefore it took quite long time to get from one
point to another. Sakhaliners were getting back from
evening class about midnight. And then new day, 5-00
AM, wake up and everything again...
Good work atmosphere in Hombu and
Kobayashi Dojos had positive impact on the aikidoists.
Hombu Dojo, the headquarter of aikido is example of
discipline, the stronghold of the order established
once and forever. Partners do not change each other
within the class. Safety requirements lead to performance
of aikido techniques without high level breakfalls,
i.e. there is no "flights" in Hombu Dojo.
Kobayashi Dojo is emotional addition
to Hombu Dojo. This dojo has more home and family
like atmosphere, less restricted; classes are conducted
in inspiration wave, with smile and jokes sometimes.
In the result guys saw two sides
of one join activity that adds one another. Such composition
made positive impact on the participants, gave them
the width of view, responsible and attentive attitude
to Aikido practice.
Tight schedule of practice required
good recovery and meals and sakhaliners were happy
to find various cafes offering good and nutrient food
at quite keen prices.
Cultural program was included into
trip as well. The aikidoists had sightseeing walk
and visited Meiji Shrine, Shinjuku Park, Shinjuku
Observation Area (located at 150 m above the ground)
and other.
Sakhaliners made friends with Japanese
dojo-mates and exchange contacts. Some guys started
missing home, some got already tired, but no one left
Japan without unique experience. Some of them became
stronger, some - more everlasting, some advanced their
speed and technical level, some learned to relax and
adequate reaction on partner's technique. All together
felt the depth of Aikido philosophy, its harmony and
peaceful culture.
The training trips are integrated
part of preparation to international attestation for
kyu and dan promotion as well as to international
seminar that will summarize the results of 2014/2015
training year for students of Sakhalin Aikido Federation.
08-11.01.2015

However, the mood of Sakhalin aikidoists to take
part in the marathon and the forum, as well as a slight
improvement in weather conditions have enabled them

The forum was attended by representatives of schools
Aikido from Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchensk, Vladivostok,
Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, as well as
