The gesture, the Aiki technique is tested and experienced from both sides. The practitioner is in his experience, both uke and tori. It embodies the two figures on both sides of the coin, the relief and the cavity, the equilibrium and disequilibrium, standing the station and the case, to be guided to and fed. Uke and Tori are the same. Granted, not really at the same time, but the man is an animal of memory and the trace of the Uke is still fresh in Tori, when he throws Uke, because he already sees himself as Tori.
This agreed exchange – of the fact of the practice and not just the, what he allegedly simulated – definitely our best tool, to help us the way of the union, from “To” defined, continue. Uke and Tori are the same, far beyond the simple status of colleagues. And this awareness, sobald are the ist, frames the behavior very closely and clearly illuminates the perspective, das Projekt Aiki. She says, actually, that the general attitude and constant adherence to concentrate in the effort, so much to let the other as to benefit themselves, to a mutual survey within the practice. We note here, that this will, nothing more than the ideal expressed, Aikido is to expand in all circumstances, both in the dojo practice in the dojo of life.
To watch as the partner to itself, to be good to each other and the opportunity for a deeper understanding to give themselves. So Tori is not ready to make uke and uke will endeavor, to create a fruitful exchange situation. And it is here, in no case is the self-satisfaction, On the contrary,, it is a prerequisite, the very specific effects on both the welfare and progress of each has.
And it is not controlled by pain or injury uke because of the requirement of the tori is itself, that will force him, the scope of its activities and the management of the imbalance (obviously in Nikyo, Sankyo, Shiho nage, Kote Gaeshi … but also absolute for all techniques) to improve. And it's also where he ruled out, to use the atemi as a sanction or to hide technical errors(tool to perceive distances and dangerous directions but as Aufmerksamskeit), constantly, each movement in question. One should try not to be surprised by Uke accelerations up to the limit of the fraction (On the contrary,, quietly to lead him to the case), which leads to the sharpening of hearing and rhythm.
Now here are some concrete examples of, such as the way, is tori uke respected not only in the rest of the exchange involved, but also a factor of technical progress and at the same time full physical force is. And that's not all: This commitment to overcome all traumatic properties in practice, is also, which allows us, to bring them to the most High, and not to do “the motions” And it is not more than the integration of this requirement in any case destroyers in the conception itself of the technology to be, through which we can then make them fully, without that it looks cut off, without”simulate”, without being cheated or falsified in the dojo.
It will therefore be full and only the expression of yourself, without reference to a hypothetical “under other circumstances” Scenario and therefore to be unreal. This respect for the integrity of others as for themselves, goes hand in hand with the desire, to give him profit, to lead him always a little further away from its ability, is a work in itself, exactly as for the others, and helps us, in this way, not to be mistaken in opponents. This respect, this attention, should not be an excuse, be a gesture of clemency (a kind of icing on the cake), would be allowed only after the mastery. It is much more than the: To understand, it win only one solution / -can give the win is satisfactory, the engine itself the attempted solution of duality and opposition. This requirement, this limitation is the beginning, the heart and the purpose of exploring.
And to return to our experience as practitioners, It is noticeable, determine how the concrete implementation of this idea, embodied by the changing roles, the relationship Uke / Tori builds up and covers the reality of our practice, their originality and, incidentally, the opportunity to enjoy so long.
And it is, to a large extent by this conception, that the union of the”School” and “Life” happens.
