Currently, for this semester (2008) , we're going to learn in the Aikido dojo which is located at Jalan Simpang Tiga, above Guardian, also it's the same row with Dua Puluh Sen Store. By the way, it is also on the way to The Spring Shopping mall. (I'm sure everyone knows the way to the Spring Shopping Mall!!! :P ) Well, before our lessons started, yes, as you can see, Aikido is located at the 3rd floor. So, we go all the way up to the 3rd floor!! -___-" At least, it's better than our swinburne which sometimes when we're late, we go rushing to our lecture class in 8th floor. Phew~
Our dojo is called the Seishinkan Dojo.
It's a nice and comfortable dojo.
As you can see, we're all basically excited and very energetic towards the class. :)
This is our Sensei Reuben (the one in uniform do-gi) teaching us. Actually, we have another Sensei Desmond but, he's not here today.
During the class we practise the technicque after sensei demo for us. We all train in pair.
This is one of the technique of pinning people down to the ground.
In Aikido also, we also learn that height and size doesn't matter. (Sorry, no offense here!!!) For example, it's good for girls sometimes too defend themselves from the ones who is taller or bigger size then them. On the other hand, it's good for guys to defend their girl friends from danger. So, the important point is, as long as we practise the correct techinique, we are able to defend ourself from danger.
Both the picture above, we get to learn to pin people down. It's a very important basic. It may look easy, but once being pinned down, you're unable to move no matter how much strength you enforce to get up. If were to force to move around to be released, it may result in a serious arm injuries. ~.~ WARNING: Do not attempt this at home unless you know the correct technique.
So, basically, it's the end of the class already. We all are tired and exhausted but, all the techniques we learnt is very useful toward our future as to defend ourself. We're looking forward towards the next class!!! :) Definately, we all enjoy ourself and make new friends as the class progress on. So, INTERESTED!!??? Come and join us (Swinburne Aikido Club) every Saturday practise at 1pm to 3pm.
*Owh yea, for those who stayed in hostel and worry about the transportation to the dojo. We will provide the transportation to the Dojo. We gather at Swinburne Chilipepers every Saturday(12.00-12.25pm). So, see you!!!
Have a nice day. ~cheers~
