Move as One

Aimer, ce n'est pas se regarder l'un l'autre, c'est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry

(For those of you who don't speak French, that's, love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.) I think MK was in right quoting that in his class, it's a good thought for aikido.

1st kyu grade test notes

I'm the laziest blogger ever. Anyhow, thinking about taking the 1^st kyu grade test in the spring of 2007autumn of 2007spring of 2008, and thought I could actually write down some notes to myself about the techniques.

The grade test requirements changed in the beginning of 2007, but the table still contains the old ones. I think I still want to practice them for the test, just because studying them too is good for my technique.

All in all, I need to ask whether the non-jiyuwaza techniques should be performed so that uke will be able to complete the grab, even in kubishime.
