North Phoenix Modern Aikido

Comments

During this time of isolation and quarantine, there is still work that can be done. Use this time to continue to forge the soul through rigorous practice. Here, I am practicing ukemi (rolling) and relaxed striking. The focus on the striking drills is to find a chain of strikes that flows naturally, moving as relaxed as possible.

Continuing with our solo work, here is a 22 move kata done with the Jo. Even if you haven't practiced this before, give it a shot. I counted each move out, so you can pick a group and focus on 3-4 moves at a time.

Some more solo weapons work. This in Kengi 1 & 2, done as 1 longer kata.

Another solo practice with the bokken. I miss training with my students and friends, but am enjoying focusing on solo practice so much. There is a lot to learn from feeling my body move without outside variables. Be safe, be vigilant.

I have put together some drills you can practice on your own during this time of isolation. Anything can be an opportunity to train, if you choose for it to be. Be Safe, be vigilant.

North Phoenix Modern Aikido offers exceptional real world Aikido instruction. Established in 2010, w North Phoenix Modern Aikido is the first satellite dojo setup by Gary Boaz Sensei after he started his own organization, the Independent Aikido Alliance (IAA).

Jason Graham Sensei is the Chief instructor for Ishizue Aikido. He currently holds the rank of third degree black belt(Sandan) under Gary Boaz Sensei. Jason Sensei also trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, pressure point combatives, systema and holds an instructor certificate in Tai Chi.

We did defense against a knife tonight, everybody did very well! Sometimes the addition of a weapon changes the dynamic, but proper principles work.
