🥋 This is so important and essential to the Aikido spirit. All aikidokas should be guided towards this goal during their training and so their Aikido practice will contribute to the Pearce and Harmony not only of their dojo, or club but of the world as O'Sensei believed it would. 🥋

LA POSTURA NON È SOLO FISICA

Quando si parla di postura si pensa essenzialmente alla posizione del corpo umano nello spazio e alla relazione tra i suoi segmenti corporei.
La postura è però qualcosa di molto più ampio e non riguarda esclusivamente l’aspetto fisico. L’atteggiamento posturale è infatti l’adattamento di ogni individuo all’ambiente fisico, psichico ed emozionale.

Molte discipline, fisiche e marziali, sono centrate sulla riscoperta e la rieducazione della postura. Nel Taiji la sua coltivazione costituisce uno dei fondamenti della pratica.
Si lavora pertanto per riequilibrare l’assetto posturale, partendo dall’allineamento della schiena, dalle corrette sequenze segmentarie e dalla ricerca dell’eutonia muscolare.
Si lavora quindi sull’allungamento dei tendini e sull’apertura delle articolazioni.

Ma non può esistere una corretta postura fisica se non si nutre contemporaneamente la giusta postura… “mentale”.
La mente deve pertanto perseguire uno stato di consapevolezza corporea sempre più elevato. Questo può essere fatto solo sviluppando i sensi (soprattutto quelli “interni”, deputati alla propriocezione), fortificando nel contempo la capacità di concentrazione, perseguendo strenuamente la percezione interna di sé.
Ciò comporta un lavoro che non è guidato solo dalla ricerca della perfetta verticalità e da ciò che tradizionalmente evoca la connessione Cielo/Uomo/Terra. È fondamentale la consapevolezza dell’espansione, cioè l'acquisizione della capacità di “aprire”: fisicamente il corpo, interiormente la mente.

L’apertura è un processo fisico e mentale che richiede anni per potersi realizzare, ed è l’unico che può permettere ad ogni nostra risorsa energetica di fluire liberamente e diventare realmente disponibile. Questo “aprire” non implica mai alcuna forzatura fisica o mentale. L’apertura, l’espandere e quella che potremmo chiamare la “Postura Totale”, che coinvolge il piano fisico, mentale ed energetico, passa dalla scoperta del “rilasciare”, dalla rivelazione dell'“espandersi”: un’espansione che si realizza quando si apprende il processo – apparentemente paradossale – del... riempirsi di puro vuoto.

🥋 Very true and challenging 🙏🏼🥋

“Human nature differs individually. The same holds true for the physique. There are all sorts of people - tall, short, plump or skinny, muscularly strong or weak and flexible or inflexible in constitution.
Taijutsu (empty-handed exercise) takes into account such variables and must be able to adapt itself to the requirements of each individual trainee…
In performing Taijutsu, therefore, it is imperative to sense the changes in the sensorial extension of your opponent and the direction of his attacking force as if they were part of your body. Taijutsu is an expedient way to sense those factors in a natural way.”

Excerpt from “Aikido: Sword Stick Body Arts Volume III Applied Techniques”
Morihiro Saito Shihan, p 18-19.
