Day 2 and 3<\/h2>\n

This is the first part of my travel diary to the Ken Jutsu<\/a> and budo seminar in Calais. Today: Aishin and Jissen Kumi Tachi. ou can find the other parts here: part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>, part 4<\/a>, part 5<\/a>, part 6<\/a>, part 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aishin and Jissen<\/h3>\n

My original plan of writing every day seems a little too ambitious now. Time is short and I also like to spend some time with the other practitioners off the mat – most of them I meet only rarely and it would be a pitty not to have some time for an exchange.<\/p>\n

The seminar is now in full swing and the daily rhythm is established. So far I skipped the free morning  practice in favor of the additional hour of sleep. After breakfast we head to the morning practice. Araya Kancho talks for about an hour about a particular topic and then we practice all together. Yesterday and today we did Suburi<\/em> (transl. empty cuts) – e.g. Kesa Giri<\/em> (diagonale cut) and Kiri Age<\/em> (diagonale cut upwards). tuesday morning we practice combinations and repetitions of movements  and sequences of cuts (funi shin<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Aishin and Jissen Kumi Tachi<\/h3>\n

In the afternoon the three groups contnue their respective kata training. On Monday we did the third series (Aishin Kumi Tachi<\/em> (\u76f8\u5fc3\u7d44\u592a\u5200).  The kanji<\/em> for Ai Shin<\/em> means harmony\/energy and heart\/spirit. Ai Shin mean equal spirit or equal intention\/intensity. The video in the beginning of the posts shows  Axel Buksnowitz from the Kikentai Dojo in Berlin<\/a> and me doing Ai Shin. On Tuesday we practiced the fourth series (Jissen Kumi Tachi<\/em> (\u5b9f\u6226\u7d44\u592a\u5200)). It basically combines elements from the frist three series but is faster and much more intense. The kanji in Jissen means real\/earnest and to fight – real fighting! So it’s getting serious now. Uke attacks for real and really tries to win.<\/p>\n

In the evening we went to the beach and enjoyed the spectacular sunset.<\/p>\n
