Sensei Berry on Aikido. March 9, 2012. Yesterday, February 17, 2012, I attended the home-going service for the father of my best friend. I mean my best male friend. Anyway, while reflecting on important experiences, this is what came to mind:. Many years ago I had a conversation, excuse me, I had an encounter with the father of my best friend. And for the next several weeks I am going to expound on that encounter. By the way, I got the impression that he coined these phrases. January 14, 2012. As I comme...

Sensei Berry on Aikido. July 18, 2013. While discussing attendance and how to increase the class size, a different approach was being looked at. Male students were coming in but no new females. A question came up on how to increase the female membership and/or class participation. Encourage more female practice time on the mat-what an assignment! No insult intended, but have you tried telling a female “what she needs to do,” lately? What are you looking for when entering a dojo? Be Sociable, Share! Sense...

Sensei Berry on Aikido. Teaching, part 2. September 2, 2013. In my last post I commented on a question from one of my students regarding teaching women, or more to the point, is there a different method for teaching men and women? I say this, most do not understand the true nature of teaching. That said, my student, singular, is my most important student! In other words, all are taught differently. All require direct teaching.

Sensei Berry on Aikido. May 2, 2008. Today I received an email regarding sporting participants who get concussions. Attached was a New York Times online article regarding this problem. This email was about the lack of reporting the seriousness of the injuries by the injured players. These were the star players who thought they would be sidelined if they showed the symptoms and likelihood of a concussion thereby letting their team down. April 25, 2008. I trained constantly, in the dojo and in my back yard...

Sensei Berry on Aikido. You get out of it what you put into it. August 18, 2012. Of course the outside influences sets a poor example. How do adults solve their problems? How do countries solve their problems? In the 80’s and 90’s people still primarily maintained control of their children. As for now my thoughts are simply this:. Or is that my imagination?
