Aikido, itâs also about those precious and eye-opening moments when you roll with a 5th-dan lady, who is two heads shorter, 25 years older, easily 15-20kg lighter than you. And while youâre losing all your body water and trying to figure out where your breath went, âcause itâs 36°C inside the dojo and rain is falling hard outside, she doesnât break a sweat while she brings you down in endless repetitions. Your body, heart and soul are begging for a water break, but hey, as long as she is not complainingâŚÂ
Another great Kenshu at Sterling Aikido, with Senseis Dan Boyle and Todd Fleck. "when the train is coming down the track at you, dont get out of the way. Be the penny on the track that derails the train."

Today's Aikido lesson: relaxation. I sit here on the eve of my upcoming Black Belt test, and I'm trying to put how I feel into words. I'm Nervous, of course, but not overly so. I'm not scared, I'm not panicking, I'm just......anxious? Maybe that'll do for now. Mac and I have been practicing for this test for 6 months. We are Ready. I know the techniques, I know the basic movements, and I know the refinements they are looking for. What worries me most is that I know myself. I'll get excited, or I'll make a mistake and get flustered, and then the whole train will derail. How much of my preparation will I remember when I'm mad at myself and beating myself up for a silly mistake? And I've heard the advice a million times: "you just need to let go if, and just relax". Yeah. Thanks. I get it. And I know it's true, but like I said before, I know me. Deep down, I just have to trust myself that I know the techniques, trust that my partner is equally as ready as me, and trust that my teachers knew I was ready when they called this test. I'm ready for this. I will do fine tomorrow, and I will make mistakes. I should start letting go of that now, maybe that'll keep me calm tomorrow.
On a snowy mountaintop to the west of Kabul, a group of Afghan girls practise the flowing movements of Wushu, a sport developed from ancient Chinese kung fu martial arts, stretching and bending and slashing the air with bright swords. In a country where womenâs sport is severely restricted, the Shaolin Wushu club in a part of Kabul that is home to the capitalâs Hazara ethnic community, is a rare exception. Sima Azimi, the 20-year-old leading the practice session, says Wushu teaches self-defence, but just as important, âitâs really effective for body and soulâ.
âWhen I was a child and took Karate lessons, one of the first things we learned was how to fall properly. It was a mandatory exercise because falling was expected. We were going to get hit and some of those hits would naturally result in a fall. The key was to fall in such a way as to minimize the damage to ourselves. We learned that falling did not automatically mean pain. We didnât have to stay down there, feel bad or defeated. We just needed to accept it as a normal part of engagting with someone else. We expected it. So we learned how to fall gracefully. We learned how to fall lightly. And I never forget that life lesson. If you learn how to fall properly, you wonât ever spend a minute fearing the possible pain of it. You wonât live your life avoiding the people and areas in your life that might cause it. Instead, you embrace whatâs in front of you, you ride the adventure, and when itâs time to fall, you fall gracefully. Then you get back up.â â Emily Maroutian

Iâve been training in Aikido for nearly 3 years now and the hate it gets from a lot of people still interests me, I can understand some of it but thats because Iâve been training for a decent amount of time. One of the reasons is due to a story that Sensei Mustard told me when I first met him. He told me that when he was training in Japan somebody went up to Gozo Shioda and started to complain saying that Aikido doesnât work and that it will never work. Gozo Shioda turned to the man and said âNo. Your Aikido doesnât work. Mine doesâ.Â
This has stuck with me throughout the journey I have taken so far and always creeps up when I see Aikido videos on youtube and all the comments are about how it doesnât work and how MMA is better and honestly I could not agree more. It wouldnât work for them as they have no Aikido training, they donât know what is happening or anything about Aikido and decided to disregard it because of a video.Â
What Iâve started to take away from the comments and the hate is that these people are all fixated and imaginary situations of somebody running at them with a knife or jumping them on the street and they seem to believe that taking MMA classes will prepare them for this. All they think about it the self defence aspect of Martial arts and they take for granted the art itself.Â
Iâve met a lot of martial artists whilst training and a few of them do the art because they enjoy it but iâve also met people who do it because they want to hurt other, they want to learn selfdefense or they were forced to do it from a parent.Â
I love Aikido, Itâs helped me a lot these past few year but I still find it incredibly frustrating. There are times when I can do something without feeling a thing but the next time I do it i feel heavy or off balance which then confuses me to no avail.Â
I just donât see why people have to shit on something because they donât understand it or have never taken the time to try it.Â

We went to a Kenshu this weekend, you can watch me being uke to Robert Mustard (look for the brown belt he uses for Nikajo) in this video, 9 of us from our dojo went up for this, it was awesome. I got him to sign my copy of Angry White Pajamas, and really, heâs nothing like the book. But his aikido is amazing.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Bow-sim Mark started seriously training in Wushu during high school, specializing in Tai Chi and Northern Shaolin. At the time, women who studied martial arts were almost unheard of. However, her talents caught the attention of the Great Grandmaster Fu Wing Way, one of the most decorated martial artists in China and founder of Fu Style Tai Chi. He ended up taking her in as his private student.
In 1984, Mark won a gold medal at the first International Tournament of Tâai chi châuan in Wuhan City. In 1995, she was named Black Belt magazineâs Kung-Fu artist of the year. Before Mark immigrated to the U.S., she was already famous all over China not just because she was a talented female martial artist, but because she was also better than most men in her craft.
âEverything is harder for a woman,â Mark told NextShark with some help in translating from her daughter Chris Yen. Â âIf a man has to work at 100% to excel, a woman must work at 150%! Not just in martial arts but in any field in order to be taken seriously.â
Mark with Donnie Yen and his sister, Chris Yen.
After teaching at her masterâs school for 10 years, she emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1975 where she became one of the first people to introduce Wushu to the West.
âThere were only a few Chinese kung-fu schools in Chinatown and mostly karate schools around the suburbs,â Mark said. âMy school was the first Chinese âWushuâ school and at the time, Wushu was not known yet in the West.â
As a successful martial arts master whoâs had students open up schools themselves, Sifu Mark broke down what makes a good teacher. She notes that while there are many styles of Tai Chi, all tai chi can be judged by six characteristics and six requirements:
âThe characteristics are that the movement should be circular, relaxed, calm, continuous, and done with intent and energy. The requirements are that the spine is naturally straight, the shoulders and elbows are sunk, the chest is empty, the movement originates in the waist, the pelvis is at a natural angle, and yin and yang are clear.â
Please, beware if your self-worth as a martial artist depends on you being in a better or separate class of people to non-martial arts. Â Please, what if you didnât have to put down others to feel good about your accomplishments.
