Half juicio, como es el dilema paradójico del rosal, where outstanding natural beauty is protected by the stems and thorns. No conscious or deliberate intention on the part of the rose of puncture or “punish” the inquisitor unwary. The same happens with the hedgehog spikes, or hammer mantis shrimp, every creature demonstrates a natural part time developing features, active and necessary by external influences, evolutionary design, and test time required, rather than any conscious intention of creation itself. Consider the undeniable role of atemi in Aikido, and similar systems of martial arts, in much the same way.
In my experience, I discovered different philosophies, y a menudo bastante contradictorias y aplicaciones distintivas del “atemi” Aikido in training, from simply suggest a blow without actual contact, to target areas of sensitivity and vulnerability by the potential opponent to maul or kill.
The student of Aikido Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, must be open minded without premature judgment and irrational, to decide individually how to properly apply the “atemi” in their training philosophy and workout regimen. Esta confusión realmente tiene poco o nada de sentido, when taken in the historical context of the identity of martial arts, tradición y propósito. Each feature martial system itself is designed to be fully and seamlessly integrated with each other, and not be isolated for independent study or close scrutiny.
The only optional feature “atemi” is the will to use, whatever the situation or cause. It is ridiculous to attribute it to some arbitrary social or moral taboo on the option to use it when necessary for self-defense. Phrase “God makes no junk” seems to apply here, since each function that are blessed have a purpose and a clear historical legitimacy of existence, one that truly are not qualified to question or deny, but confine ourselves to accept.
In my Opinion, appropriate and timely use of “atemi” in the authentic Aikido training and applications, not yet universally considered acceptable by the general collection of students and faculty at most schools of Aikido. This unhappy prospect not only an insult to the original model from the Boss, but anathema the original purpose of training legitimate systems of martial arts. One has not knowingly or intentionally “a knife to a gunfight “, nor should venture, when one of the crucially important weapons in our arsenal is kept locked, due to wrong thinking and uninformed, or improper application of custom blind.
Nothing “ugly” or inherently “violent” sobre la inclusión natural del entrenamiento del atemi en nuestra práctica. Quite the opposite may be true, a true aspect of the legitimacy and affirm the integrity Aikido martial arts should never be absent, or relegated to the status of minority status by real student of Aikido clear mind.
Deliberately deny legitimate and proper use of atemi, training both in real and in real-time situations, is totally out of merit or excuse. Any person who knowingly and willfully refuses to include the proper atemi in training and development of skills in their repertoire, not only is wrong and reckless, but seriously ignorant and disrespectful to the art form that has been given by the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba.
If these people persist in this practice nearsightedness unfortunate, can no longer say they are practicing the “aikido”, as intended by the Founder and consistently demonstrated throughout his life. They have to find another name, and claim other sources for what they are practicing. They have in fact, Gift degraded O Sensei, and may not be recognized or included within the Aikido community generally honorable, genuinely motivated, or accepted by the other.
For personal reasons, certain individuals who claim to be faithful to the teachings of the Founder, may refuse to employ the use of “atemi” tanto en su entrenamiento y en situaciones de la vida real. As long as they do not deny their students, colleagues or others to choose for themselves what works best for them, I guess it must be accepted as a matter of free choice, even if we disagree with the decision. Hopefully these people never have to face any of the possible negative consequences of their decisions.
We need to hold comfortably all aspects of the wonderful art form that gave us O Sensei, and freely employ all practical sensitivity, compassionate kindness, and with full and reasoned assessment of their intrinsic value and importance to the whole art form itself. We can not choose what aspect of the creation of the Founder to be considered correct, applicable and suitable. If we do, accordingly, can be held liable for the perception and understanding misinformed. We choose to honor and follow the example and teachings of O Sensei honest, fully and unconditionally, or at all.
