Year-Round, All-Weather
Outdoor Training
There are also separate running suburi practices. We run a one-mile
route through the park, stopping at intervals to practice suburi, kumijo
and kumitachi. We also do rolling, downhill and uphill, at one point
during the run.
The training site is
Bryan Park, near the intersection of Bryan
Park and Westlake avenues.
Riai
- In Aikido, the weapons training is the same as the hand-to-hand
training. The basic movement of kotegaeshi or shihonage, for instance,
can be done with or without the bokken. This interrelationship of the
weapons and hand-to-hand training is called
Riai. O'Sensei conducted most
of his Riai training in Iwama. You can develop excellent strength
and definition in your Aikido techniques by practicing Riai,
combining weapons and hand-to-hand training.
