Nobuyoshi Tamura Sensei Passes Away
From: Jun Akiyama posted on 10. Jul 2010, 08:06am
Nobuyoshi Tamura sensei (8th dan, Aikikai) passed away on July 9th, 2010. He was born in 1933 in Osaka, Japan and started out as an uchideshi under Morihei Ueshiba sensei in 1953.He was sent to Marseille, France, by Ueshiba sensei in 1964; according to Wikipedia, "he arrived in France in the port of Marseille in 1964 as the final destination of his honeymoon cruise (he paid part of his trip by performing aikido exhibitions on the ship). In France, he succeeded Tadashi Abe as the Aikikai representative there and decided to stay in this country teaching aikido as a living, despite the fact that he was barely speaking French at that time." My condolences go out to his family, friends, students, and loved ones.

It includes a formal progression of aikido techniques thru 5 levels including static, flowing and more esoteric ideas together with a robust weapons syllabus. This article explores the nature of the syllabus and some observations on students progressing through the subset grading syllabus.

From: Jun Akiyama posted on 5. Jul 2010, 02:53pm

This article entitled "Symphony's Ragnar Bohlin tunes up with aikido" highlights Mr. Ragnar Bohlin, chorus director for the San Francisco Symphony, who practices aikido at Suginami Aikikai in San Francisco.
From the article: "In aikido, a lot of energy goes through your hands, and in music, a lot of energy goes through your hands," said Bohlin, a first-rank black belt. "You need to direct the energy and harmonize that energy. With conducting, I want the chorus to breathe together, phrase together and be together with my movements."
