monday, january 24, 2005
8pm class

instructor: sensei efy
students: me, joshua, paun, stephan & dr.edmond

spining techniques: (hand grab attack)
1 - katate mochi hijiate kokyu nage

from right kamae, give left hand to be grabbed (position, thumb up)
- uke's force is moving forward
turn the palm up and cut, body turn back 180
- front leg spin 360, pivot on left leg

new position: left kamae
give right hand to be grabbed (thumb up)
turn the palm up and cut, body turn back 180 degres
- front leg spin 360 degres, pivot on right leg
left hand grab uke's wrist
- lock uke's elbow & shoulder, right elbow under uke's left elbow
right hand release the uke's grab, turn the palm up
right leg in front, slide forward
- turn right palm down to throw

2 - shomen tsuki kokyu nage
same spining movement
- uke punches twice, same side

1st punch, spin 360 degres
- from right kamae, change to left kamae

2nd punch, move front leg backward
- right hand guide uke's punching hand
- turn the body to the left, drop right knee
- project forward to throw uke

***
for me
the most difficult part in this technique
is the spinning
- how to pivot 360 degres on behind leg, while most of our weight is on the front leg
- spin with good body balance
- spin on the right timing when uke attacks

arghhh...

children class
sunday, 2nd january 2005, 10am

how do u expect the children to be interested
by doing the same thing...
same attack, same movements, same technique

actually
i assisted sensei effendi during children class
and i was asked to teach a group of 5 children 'go waza'

sensei effendi told me to show the shadow movement first
then do the technique with partner
and finally working in group with one 'shite'

i don't know why i asked them to repeat the first technique in 'go waza'
- kotehgashe, punch attack

poor them
hopefully, they will get new thing in the next class

katate ayamochi go waza

2004-12-29T10:35:00.000+08:00

it's a kata
series of 5 throws, in order
attack: crosshand grab

actually
what i learned was, in this kata
how we set our hand to be grabbed is important

1st technique: kotegaeshi (wristlock)
from right kamae, turn right palm down
when uke grabs, spin front leg 270 degrees
- left hand grabs uke's wrist
move left leg a little to the left, create an opening
behind (right) leg moves forward to throw
- uke do flip fall

2nd technique: ikkajo nage (elbow control)
from right kamae, turn right palm down
when uke grabs, spin behind leg 180 degrees
left hand grab uke's elbow
behind (left) leg moves forward to throw
- uke do forward roll

3rd technique: irimizuki (front enter)
from right kamae, maintain right palm
at the moment uke grabs, moves right hand to his chin
- left hand cut his right hand to the outside, left leg moves forward
front leg moves forward to throw, maintain right hand in front
- uke do backfall

4th technique: ushiro nage (behind throw)
from right kamae, maintain right palm
when uke grabs, turn the palm down to unbalance uke
moves behind leg forward, making big circle
- both hand grab uke's shoulder
spin right leg to the back and pull
- uke do backfall

5th technique: kokyu nage (breath throw)
from right kamae, maintain right palm
before uke grabs, slide front leg forward to the right side
- left leg follows and turn more, position 45 deg. from the attack line
- right hand put at uke's neck, left hand grab uke's wrist
shift our weight from right leg to the left (movement hiriki no yosei ni)
and throw
- uke do forward roll

Samurai Kodomo School Holiday Camp

2004-12-27T09:57:00.000+08:00

13th - 15th December 2004
Putrajaya Wetland

dah lama sangat rasanya aku tak pergi berkhemah
sekarang ni, tak perlu susah-susah masuk hutan
kat Putrajaya pun dah ada 'camp site'

yang seronoknya berkhemah dengan budak-budak ni
aku tidur sorang-sorang saja... org lain berkongsi 2-3 orang

seronok tengok perangai budak-budak yang macam-macam
walaupun pening kepala nak layan depa ni...

masa program 'water confidence'
semua orang kena terjun ke dalam tasik
termasuk aku sekali lah

ada sorang budak ni, lepas terjun je
langsung dia takmu lepaskan tangan kat jeti
kena la abang 'faci' tarik dia
ada sorang ni pulak
dia terjun dekat sorang kakak 'faci'
pegang tak lepas sampai ke pantai...

'flying fox'
yang ni aku takkan lupa sampa bila-bila
bukan aku yang terbang, tapi nengokkan perangai budak-budak yang takut
budak lain sibuk berbaris pasang tali
depa ber-4 duduk je atas tikar
2 orang muka monyok, 2 orang lagi dah mula nangis

kata 'untie', tengok muka depa ni macam
- sorang mati bini
- sorang mati tunang
- sorang mati gundik
- lagi sorang mati...

lepas kena tengking dengan abang 'faci'
baru la depa nak pakai tali ikat badan
tu pun, ada sorang aku kena papah bawa kat tempat pasang tali

masa nak memanjat menara pun lagi satu masalah
sorang budak ni, pegang tiang tak lepas!!!
sekali abang 'faci' tengking-ugut nak campak dalam tasik
baru la dia naik pelan-pelan...

sementara nunggu tu, sorang budak ni ngadu kat aku
- takut, nak balik rumah, ...

macamana pun
semua berjaya naik dan terbang akhirnya

program perintis yang berjaya
insyaAllah, tahun depan kami buat lagi

2004-12-05T10:44:00.000+08:00

(i promised to myself, this won't happen again...)

being an example

2004-10-01T23:23:00.000+08:00

1st october 2004
dojo seremban institute of aikido

i was asked by sensei ramlan
to follow him to seremban
become his uke during the class
because he is going to teach there

actually
sensei gerrard is preparing his students
for grading on next 10th october
they're going for 8th kyu to 4th kyu

during the training hours
sensei ramlan called me
and ask to do exactly like the grading day
- getting up from seiza
- run and stand in front of senseis
- bow, do the techniques according to the syllibus
- finish & going out

at the end of the class
sensei gerrard told his students
that is how they are suppose to do
during the grading day
- everything must be done sharply
and he is taking me as an example for his students

then i realized that
it's not easy to be an 'uchi dechi' (the live-in student)
- a lots of responsiblity
- many things to learn
- etc etc etc (never ending list)

after class
i took some throws from sensei gerrard

comments from sensei ramlan
* maintain the posture while attacking (don't bend down the body, reaching the head 1st)
* commit the attack (don't do it half-way / stop halfway)

thank you sensei, OSU!

26th september 2004
the grading day

10 am
children grading

i was asked to make the call, for the first time

some points that i learn
- relax, so that we can the name properly
- stand still, don't ever move
- prepare the script early, don't just depend on the grading sheet
- aware of the surrounding:
--> signs from the tester
--> ask student to fix their gi before bow to the tester
- do the rehearsal many times

2 pm
senior grading

some more points:
- get up (to do streching) only after the tested students finished their 'kihon dosa'
- seiza back before 'shumatsu dosa'
- get ready to pick the belt before it fall on the mats, take it quickly
- seiza all the time (try it!!)

by the way
congrats to
- Andy Chan
- Saravanan
for achieving the Shodan
also not to forget
- Yew, 2nd kyu
- Foo, 5th kyu
- Saiful & A.Rahman, 6th kyu

OSU!!!

weekend of WSD workshop

2004-06-15T14:42:00.000+08:00

women self defense workshop

saturday 12th: UTAR
sunday 13th: USJ 16

the goal is not to teach aikido techniques
coz duration is only 2-3 hours only

but, just giving them some tips
and expose them what would really happen outside
if there were attacked or snatched

the most important thing to know is
HOW TO FALL CORRECTLY

theorically
- squat down, put your butt on the floor & roll over on your back

the other tips:
- how to release from grab
- hit & release
- hit, release & hit again
- the hitting techniques
- release grab from behind
- escaping on the ground

wherever you are
whatever you do
just believe on yourself
fight for your life

good luck then...

kiai

2004-06-10T18:01:00.000+08:00

it's an instant burst of energy

combative shout or yell

designed to distract or disturb the attacker
to facilitate the execution of a technique.

it comes deep inside our body
from the bottom of the stomoch
and let it go through the throat
(don't stop it halfway)

and it sounds

A-I-E... AIE!!!

i just review my last grading
from 60 kiai shouted
20 of them sound 'HAIP!'

har har har... what a shame :">
nevermind lah, hope that's better than the previous one

i'll do my best for the next grading

(maybe just because we trained at the end of dojo, short space for doing shikkoho)

for fixed techniques, i took mustafa to be the uke and
for shite waza, i just did the shadow movements

i left dojo just after the class had finished

* i still don't have my uke for the grading... i'll ask noveen or asri then!!!

dojo aikido puchong sebenarnya menumpang pusat latihan tae kwon do
lokasi di sebelah kanan TESCO, mengadap kawasan lapang

kami sampai tepat2 jam 8
masa tu, belum ada orang lagi
- aku fikir satu je, zalman bagitau student yg dia demam!!!

lepas warm-up, ada sorang student tae kwon do na tau pasal aikido
instructor dia yang kenalkan kat kami
Muhammed namanya, dari Sudan

apalagi... sensei efy mula lah bercerita
bla bla bla... etc etc etc
tunjuk:
- gerakan asas (kihon dosa), 3 yg awal je
- teknik asas: ikkajo, shiho nage
- go waza & jiyu waza
- cara jatuhan... mcm biasa la (tu pun dia yg tanya lepas tgk jiyu waza)
btw, mudah bcerita dgn org yg ada latarbelakang seni beladiri

dia cakap na ikut kelas minggu depan
mmg dia akan belajar la semua gerakan asas tu

jam 9 kami balik
hantar sensei efy ke lrt sg. besi, diner kat sana sekali
sblm balik ke rumah, singgah honbu dojo kejap

sunday, 15th may 2004

awal pagi lagi aku dah keluar
hantar budak2 maahad ke sekolah alam shah putrajaya
ada pertandingan catur, aku sarapan kat sana sekali

sebelum ke dojo, aku melencong ke taman sungai besi
tabur iklan aikido kat sana... ada banyak rupanya pangsapuri

aku sampai ke dojo jam 10.30 gitu

instructor: zalman sensei
students: me, mr. eng, mustafa, sufian

technique: katate ayamochi kotegashe
- crosshand grab, wrist lock
shite and uke right kamae
shite sasso right hand, palm down
uke catch shite's hand and push
shite step back front leg and move it to the left (turns 270 deg.), turns right hand to relase from grab (palm up) and left hand catches (put the thumb behind uke's hand, near the little finger)
move behind leg to the left, bring along our hands in the centre, get the kotegashe lock. uke follows, turns the body
maintain uke's hand is at belt level, cover the left thumb with right palm
step in right leg, uke do backfall or flip. left hand don't release the grab. uke is on the floor.
right palm down, catch uke's elbow and bring it to the left knee to turns the uke
right leg follows the move to the left, we've uke's hand in our centre
turn the right palm on uke's elbow and sink down the body (osaie!!!)

actually, it's the first technique in 'go waza' syllibus
the first time for the others doing it
but in the end, they seems like having the flow of the movement

after the class, foo and i revising the 5th kyu syllibus
he took notes of everythings
- command, sequence, technique, etc etc etc
i'm sure he's going to be ready for the next month grading

- uke must move, put behind leg between uke's

at first, we did with partner
since it's nearly full house (again), we had been seperated into three groups
- seniors, red belt & others

after the class had finished, the hamidians asked sensei to repeat the physical training
- jump over a person using two legs, that person stand straight and bow his body
just jump and tap his back. phang sensei showed how he can jump over a straight standing person
seems like they enjoyed the training very much, and ready for the next training
it teaches us how to balance our body - jump and land with straight body

sembang-sembang... aku keluar dojo pukul 8.30
singgah makan kat kedai deen-wahab
sempat tingalkan sikit flyers aikido kat kaunter...

defending & killing

2004-05-15T12:42:00.000+08:00

aku lewat sikit sampai dojo... org dah nak habis warm-up
aku join masa mula buat kihon dosa

instructor: efy sensei
students: mr. lee shodan, n.k.wing (redbelt), kak fizah, me & mr. eng (new student) and another new student joining trial class

technique of the day:
- shomen tsuki shiho nage ichi
straight punch, arm lock, the first technique

shite & uke right kamae (ayhanmi position)
seikin (both shite & uke slide in, closing the distance)

both hands grab uke's wrist, right leg slide out to open and step in left leg
bring both hand to forehead, straighten uke's hand (like hiriki no movement)
shite's shoulder must be under uke's armpit
turn the body to behind and kamae, get the lock
step in again to bring down uke, control him & strike!!!

meanwhile, efy sensei trained the two new student the basic

technique variation:
- self defense technique, attacking with tanto (knife)
shite must move smoothly, not giving chance to uke to hit
when uke is down, press his arm using our knee until he release the knife

training with one shite in the centre
when my turn as shite, i take back the knife with right hand
instead of striking with left hand, i stab using the knife
i did it 2 times, when it comes to ng's turn
he did just like me... and efy sensei saw it
- you are defending yourself, not killing the enemy!!!
aiyaaa.... i apologized

after the class had finished, i was asked to stay to be the uke
because efy sensei want to explain more about aikido to the trail student
i don't even know what his name is
when efy sensei did kokyo nage, i had to flip
after that i realized that i had a little scratch on my hand
and it's bleeding (alah... sikit je, jauh dari perut)

i left dojo nearly 10 p.m., leaving efy sensei and the trial student on the mats

our sensei had a date!!!

moves front leg besides uke's body. put left elbow on his right shoulder. right hand in front, near his hip

for seniors, ryote mochi yongkajo osae ichi

shite sasso both hands, uke grab and pull
shite follows, moves behind leg to the side
put both hands to the centre
slide in a little, get the yongkajo lock
slide in again to bring down the uke
step in to pin him down, then step in again to flat him
transfer his hand, get the little finger and osae!!! (like nikajo)

variation: yongkajo nage
after putting both hand to the centre, slide in and get the lock
step in to throw the uke
zanshin!!!

it's show time at the end:

- futari dori (?)
2 ukes on 1 shite
1st uke, bare hand, attack shomen uchi
2nd uke, with tanto, attack shomen tsuki

- jiyu waza (freestyle)
efy sampai bdarah tangan, katanya kena gigi phang... yaper da...

macam biasa... sensei ramlan panggil aku, attack shomen tsuki
tak sampai 2 minit pun rasanya kena jiyuwaza dgn dia
letih!!!

malam tu, ikut sensei ramlan ke sekolah V.I.
ada demo tatoo... 1stime aku tengok!!!

an ordinary day...

2004-05-08T14:30:00.000+08:00

instructor: sensei efy
students: aku, cikgu jue, ng k.w. (junior), mustafa, kak fizah, en. fauzi

technique of the day:
- suwari waza shomen uchi nikkajo osae ichi
sitting technique, front strike, nikkajo lock (2nd control), the first

shite raises both hands and strike, uke raises up one hand only
the left hand grab uke's elbow, turn a little bit to create an opening and move forward to the right (just a little only)
turn body to face uke (point the right knee, just move the left one)
turn the tumb around uke's wrist and grab (nikkajo lock), left hand grab the wrist
put the body down to lock uke
left hand grab the elbow, move it to uke's head to unbalance him and step in forward right knee
trust in the hand and step in left knee
move forward again, the right knee and osae
- both knee down on the mats
- always pin the shoulder down to control the uke

cuma aku, cik jue & ng yang blatih teknik ni
sensei ramlan latih yg lain2 untuk grading 22hb nanti

habis latihan, sensei ramlan tunjukkan bbrp stail
drpd teknik yang sama: shomen iriminage
kena stail aikikai (big circle), aku siap ikut dgn angkat kaki sblm backroll
har har har... best plak

lagi satu... kiai: AIE!!! (an instant burst of energy)
susah juga nak buat tu...
sampai ada yang kena sembur la dengan aku... sori sesangat

the killing technique

2004-05-07T14:29:00.000+08:00

instructor: sensei ramlan
students: fnd, noveen, aku, joshua, cikgu jue, osim, kak fizah

technique:
- yohonme kumite
it's a series of attack and throw
tested for senior level, 1st kyu & above i think

1) katate ayamochi, ikkajo nage
- spin behind leg, turn 180 deg., other hand grab the elbow & throw

2) katate ayamochi, kokyo nage
- raise up hand forehead (hirikino movement), turn 180 & throw

3) sangkajo nage
- shite grab uke's hand (right kamae, grab his left hand), slide-in forward, step-in... turn & throw

4) katate ayamochi: kudushi, kotegashe, kokyo
- turn 180 (don't lift-up hands), slide-in forward, step-in & turn, throw (kudushi) but don't release the hand
- uke falls, turns & gets up. step-in, turn (grab kotegashe) and throw (still don't release)
- uke falls, turns & gets up again. change hand, step in & turn, grab the elbow & throw

5) hidiyate kokyo nage
- step in, grab uke's hand & turn behind leg 180 deg., put his elbow on the arm and throw

6) katate ayamochi, ushiro nage
- unbalance uke, step in, turn, put hands on his elbow & pull him down

so... we've here 8 throws to do
left & right side, for both uke & shite
total: 32 throws!!!

it's really killing technique during the grading session, 1st kyu or Shodan (i think)

for senior level

2004-05-06T14:28:00.000+08:00

instructor: sensei effendi
students: aku, wei kong, mus, n.k. weng

technique of the day:
- yokomen uchi nikkajo osae ichi
side strike, wrist lock, 1st

for senior level, move the locked wrist to unbalance the uke just before sliding in. control the elbow and step in forward (not diagonal) and another big step. lock him down and osae!!!

itu tips yg aku dapat, tapi aku tak buat sgt... blom sampai level lagi. kena lulus grading 4th kyu dulu

abes kelas, aku x tunggu lama... lepas hantar sensei balik, aku pun balik gak...

after a long holiday

2004-05-05T14:24:00.000+08:00

ahad 2mei aku balik kg, 3mei dojo tutup...

training session,
- instructor: sensei ramlan
- students: aku, wei kong, cikgu jue, en. fauzi ukm, sorg akak yg baru join (lupa tanya nama)

technique of the day:
- shomen uchi nikkajo osai ichi
front strike, wrist lock, the 1st technique

shite attack, grab uke's elbow
create an opening & slide-in forward to unbalance uke
(don't put uke's hand too low)
turn the thumb and catch uke's wrist to perform nikkajo lock
move forward to lock him down
unbalance uke again, grab the elbow & slide-in
step-in & osae...

variation:
- shomen uchi nikkajo nage
after the nikkajo lock, slide-in to other side (outside uke's) to throw him

letih betul... baru 2 hari cuti
bulan depan grading naik 4th kyu
pressure!!!

technique of the day:
- katate ayamochi ushiro nage
cross-hand grab, throwing from behind

shite saso, uke grab
to release the grab, swing the hand counter-clockwise
cut with the little finger, step in behind uke
the behind leg follows and turn

put two hands on uke's elbow
and drop him (don't pull using hand strengh)

self-defense technique:
uke grab, release it and grab back
the other hand grab the collar to choke from behind
finally, break him down

100 falls

2004-04-24T15:20:00.000+08:00

hampeh la bdak2 maahad semalam

- shomen uchi ude garami

position ayhami
uke attack, shite block
receive the attack, step back
grab the wrist and elbow

bila sensei efy suruh pusing tukar partner
saiful kena dgn amirah
har har har...
tah teknik apa yg dia buat, aku pun tak prasan
bdak2 lain sengih je...
aku, kontrol macho

a tough day

2004-04-22T15:19:00.000+08:00

aku sampai dojo dlm pkol 4.30 gitu
tak lama lepas tu, sensei efy sampai
surprise!!! dia dtg dgn sensei sonny loke
sensei sonny dtg bawa bini dia nak tengok dojo kami, saja ja singgah katanya

sbb kami nak ke maahad hamidiah, sensei sonny pun keluar sekali
asalnya aku dgn efy kena pergi dulu...

kelas kat maahad hamidiah kajang

buat silibus untuk grading 8th kyu je
- kihon dosa
- ukemi
budak2 tu akan grading 21hb mei nanti

balik ke dojo

sempat makan ayam KFC lagi... ada budak2 maahad belanja
sempena birthday sensei efy

1st class

technique of the day: shomen uchi shomen iriminage ichi
- front attack, front entering throw, the first technique

shite attack, uke block
open a little bit, step in
grab collar and put the elbow on uke's shoulder to unbalance
step in again to throw, diagonally
and zanshin

2nd class
- ushiro ryote mochi kotegashe ichi
- ushiro ryote mochi kotegashe ni

it's the senior class
i just learn the movements and try to feel it

at the end of the class
- suwari waza ryote mochi kokyuho ichi

that's the toughest day of the week
3 classes, plus extra training

i always leave dojo at 11 pm

osu!!!

the old style

2004-04-21T15:16:00.000+08:00

teknik semalam
- suwari waza yokomen uchi shomen iriminage ni
sitting technique, side attack, front entering throw, 2nd technique

uke attack, move body to the side, block using 1 hand and another one hit using uraken
cross the hand, grab the collar and turn 180, we must have him in front of us
continue turning, hit uke using another hand, unbalance him and throw!!!

throwing diagonally from to the other side of attack. it's hard to practice if the uke doesn't move enough to create the flow of the technique. so... learn to be a good uke

lepas tu, sensei tunjuk teknik feberet master thamby
- shomen uchi ikkajo osai ichi
old style, zaman darurat dulu nye nih...
grabbing the elbow from the outside of the body
turn to unbalance the uke

letih rupanya blatih smalam, takde rehat
aku, rahman & andy 1 group
din, yadesh & sham another group

Rabu

Hujan lebat, 7.20 dah sampai dojo. Aku naik dulu, sensei dah ada, terus bagi dia tengok gambar aksi masa lepas grading haritu... last-last, Din lambat sangat naik, aku tunjuk dulu poster yang Din buat. Suka pulak sensei dengan poster baru... sampai tv pun dia tak bagi orang tengok, letak poster dia kat situ!!!

Grading.
Keputusan grading hari ahad lepas dah keluar. Aku dapat 75% markah. Alhamdulillah...

Latihan.
Rasanya kali ni paling ringan...
- Shumatsu Dosa 1 & 2 (sensei komen sebab lepas grading, sepatutnya lebih baik...)
- kamae, melangkah ke hadapan (sliding...)
- ukemi dengan bola: backfall, foward roll 2 belah tangan, sebelah tangan...

Teknik.
Serangan yokomen uchi, tangan kanan. Kita tangkis dengan tangan kiri, dan serang balik, hentak dengan tangan kanan.

Mesyuarat.
Untuk upacara rasmi pembukaan dojo.
Ustaz Akram jadi pengerusi jawatankuasa, cadangan kak Emma.
Yang lain-lain ada tugas masing-masing...
11.30 kami balik, Ustaz Akram ada lagi, belum lagi buka dogi...

Isnin

Aku dan Din sampai awal, jalan tak sesak, dojo pun belum buka. Sampai dengan semangat baru, gi baru basuh.

Latihan.
Mula pukul 8, terus buat gerakan asas:
- Kamae, Seiza
- Tai No Henko 1 & 2, Hirikino Yosei 1 & 2
Zalman yang bagi arahan.
Sensei ajar sorang student baru... bertuah dia sorang-sorang je...

Teknik.
Kamae kanan, uke tangkap kedua tangan.
Tangan kiri pegang tangan kirinya, ibu jari tekan pangkal jari kelingking (kotegaeshi), tangan kanan kita lepaskan dari tangkapannya.
Maju kehadapan, uke backfall.
Teknik yang sama, tapi tapi berpusing. Uke forward roll.
Kami berempat, aku, Din, Hadi & Nik... berganti-ganti serang setiap seorang. Rasa macam dalam kelas senior pulak.
Lepas kelas, tengok sensei melatih Ng dan Pang, brown belt pulak. Kesian, last-last kena sepuluh jatuhan setiap sorang...

Sembang-sembang.
Best layan sensei ni sembang... macam-macam cerita yang aku dengar. Kali ni sensei bagitau yang ayah dia asal orang Sepanyol, nama keluarga Ortega. Mak dia memang orang Melayu Melaka. Dia jumpa keluarga ayah dia kat Singapore. Masa krismas, family gathering, semua orang kulit putih, dia sorang je yang nampak macam 'niger'.
Presiden kelab datang lepas tu, rupa-rupanya sensei pun ada kontek dengan orang politik... maklumlah, supaya senang dapat sponsoring kalau ada apa-apa upacara nanti. Tunggu Rabu nanti, ada mesyuarat lepas latihan, bincang pasal pembukaan rasmi dojo.
Pukul 12 baru keluar dojo...

Ahad
11 am

Aku janji nak datang pukul 10, lewat saja. Dekat-dekat pukul 11 aku sampai, tengok-tengok Amir dah ada, dari pukul 10 katanya. Ustaz Akram pukul 10.30 dah sampai.

Grading.
Mula pukul 11.30 pagi. Aku dan Ustaz Akram 8th kyu. Joshua 7th kyu, partner dia Azizan demam pulak. Masri dan lagi sorang ni 6th kyu. Upacara rasmi, grader paling tinggi berucap kepada instructor yang hari ini dojo akan mengadakan grading, kemudian serahkan fail dan catatan markah kepada instructor, Sensei Ramlan dan Sensei William.
Ustaz Akram dipanggil dulu, kena buat sorang-sorang...
Sampai giliran aku, aku buat je dengan yakin, tanpa peduli orang sekeliling. Sensei Ramlan pegi belakang pun aku tak hirau, sebab dia nak tengok masa seiza kaki aku silangkan, tapi aku tak betulkan lepas tu. Apa daaa... masa kamae pun jari tak jarakkan. Ustaz Akram yang bagitau lepas habis grading. Tak tahulah berapa boleh dapat... 70%? Tunggulah nanti...

Sesi fotografi.
Ustaz Akram ada bawa kamera, kami bergambar dengan instructors. Din jadi jurukamera, dia siap bawa kamera sendiri lagi. Lagipun Sensei Ramlan nak ambil gambar aksi untuk poster kelab. Fendi jadi uke, aku pun dipanggil sama bila pegang kedua-dua tangan sensei. Aku pun tak perasan, bila dia baling aku... harap-harap gambar jadi elok nanti...

Sembang-sembang.
Sensei sebenarnya dah lama nak buat poster sendiri, gambar dia sendiri... dia ada tunjuk contoh-contoh poster aikidoka Australia buat. Semua gambar aksi, muka sensei kelihatan jelas... Kalau gambar tadi tak elok, Din cakap lain kali boleh bergambar lagi, dan dia akan sediakan 3 gulung filem...

Pukul 2 petang baru keluar dojo...

Sabtu
3 pm

Hari ni pun aku lambat lagi...

Latihan.
Bersedia untuk grading. Buat semua silibus.
Kami berhenti jam 4.30 petang. Masa tu kelas junior dah mula... budak-budak ramai juga.

Sembang-sembang.
Sembang pasal mesyuarat pada Rabu hadapan, sebagai persiapan untuk pembukaan rasmi dojo... siapa nak buat apa. Sensei ada anjurkan bengkel beladiri khas untuk wanita, tak tahu berapa orang yang akan datang katanya.

Bengkel beladiri.
Dalam tempoh dua jam, memang tiada teknik khusus yang peserta akan dapat ingat. Cumanya, tujuan asal hanyalah untuk memberi pendedahan kepada wanita tentang suasana yang mungkin akan mereka hadapi. Mereka juga perlu keyakinan untuk menyelamatkan diri daripada bahaya yang akan dihadapi.
Antara tips yang aku dapat:
- kalau kena ugut dengan pisau, penyamun nak dompet... kita baling lah dompet tu ke satu arah supaya boleh lari ke arah lain.
- kalau lorong nak balik rumah gelap sebab lampu rosak, bejalanlah di tengah-tengah, kalau kat tepi nanti takut ada orang tarik kita masuk dalam rumah dia.

Balik pukul 6 petang.

Jumaat

Aku sampai lambat... jalan jem teruk!!!

Latihan.
Buat silibus untuk grading 8th kyu. Sensei betulkan semua... dia bagitau secara terperinci. Rasa macam tak bleh lulus plak grading nanti.

Teknik.
Serangan tumbuk, kita mengelak ke belakang lawan, tarik bahunya, dan jatuhkan. Tapi sensei ajar kepada junior. Kami teruskan latihan untuk grading.

Sembang-sembang.
Sensei Ramlan bercerita pasal Sensei Shihan: orang yang baik hati... layan anak murid dia dgn baik. Sensei Ramlan sebenarnya nak jemput sensei Shihan datang masa pembukaan rasmi dojo, tapi tak tau lah nanti macamana, sebab sensei Shihan ni selalu tak jadi masa last minute. Dekat pukul 11 baru kami balik.

a bad habit

Khamis

Kali ni, Din angkut satu famili pergi dojo. Aku naik atas dulu, minta apa-apa maklumat pasal 'self-defense workshop' ahad nanti. Dapat satu salinan untuk difotostet untuk kempen kat kawan-kawan forum.

Mula latihan.
Buat gerakan asas, belajar 2 gerakan terakhir, Shumatsu Dosa 1 & 2.
Seiza Ho - daripada keadaan kamae, turun melutut, seiza. Naik semula.
Shiko Ho - berjalan dalam keadaan duduk, menggunakan lutut. Arah ke hadapan dan berundur. (rasa terbakar je tempurung lutut tu)

Teknik hari ini.
Kamae kanan. Uke menangkap kedua-dua tangan, kita melungsur ke hadapan, tangan kanan ke bawah, kiri tolak ke atas, hilangkan imbangan uke. Kita melangkah kaki kiri, jatuhkan dia. Sensei ada sebut 'heaven and earth'.

Hari ni sensei memang tekankan teknik asas yang betul, kedudukan badan dan sebagainya. Bukan kekuatan untuk menjatuhkan lawan. Sensei marah sangat kalau kita 'jerk'/hentak uke, terutama kami semua orang baru. Ida jatuh, kepala dia kena tatami, Din yang buat teknik.

Aku masih lemah dengan 'sidefall', masih keliru nak hulur kaki mana, nak 'tap' tangan mana.
Kantoi aku harini, sensei buat teknik, aku nak jatuh, lipat kaki dulu. Sensei nampak, dia tegur: Dulu belajar akikai kan? Jangan buat lagi, boleh patah kaki. It's a bad habit!

Pukul 9, kelas senior mula. Aku sambung latihan dengan Din. Buat teknik "heaven and earth" tu, dan shihonage.
Pukul 10, kami keluar dari dojo, tak sembang pun dengan sensei.

Amir datang awal tengok kami berlatih, jadi baby-sitter jaga jimbo... Muhsin pula, datang masa kelas senior mula... Sapa lagi kawan-kawan aku yang kena ajak lagi...

boleh grading...

Rabu

Aku ikut Din & Ida. Kami sampai awal kat dojo, dalam 7.20 gitu. Ingatkan tak ada orang lagi, rupa-rupanya Ifi menjenguk dari tingkap. Aku naik dulu, terus ke bilik persalinan. Ida pergi ke pejabat Azida & Comel dulu.

Dekat-dekat pukul 8, aku dan Din panaskan badan dulu... lepas tu, sorang-sorang kawan datang. Zamlan, Hadi dan Ustaz Akram pun ada.

Mula latihan.
Masa na mula gerakan panas badan, sensei ajar mengira dalam bahasa Jepun. Untuk kawal pernafasan kita.
Jatuhan ke belakang, tanpa tangan menampan tatami, kemudian dengan tangan.

Gerakan asas.
Tai No Henko 1 & 2, Hiriki No Yosei 1 & 2.
Belajar lagi satu gerakan baru, Shumatsu Dosa 1.

Teknik hari ini.
Shihonage, dengan menggunakan gerakan asas Shumatsu Dosa 1.
Aku berpasangan dengan Ifi. Kurus je orangnya, senang nak tangkap tangan dia... tapi awas, dia nak grading 1st DAN bulan 10 nanti.
Sebelum tamat latihan, dalam keadaan seiza, mata terpejam, sensei suruh kami ingatkan balik latihan apa yang sudah kami buat dari mula tadi.

Latihan tambahan.
Sensei cuba bermain judo dengan Hadi, lepas tu aku. Letih betul... sensei na cuba kunci, aku cuma boleh lari je la. Jangan harap la dapat kunci dia balik, tapi... dia memang bagi aku peluang untuk fikir apa yang aku kena buat.

Petua hari ini.
Kalau bergaduh dan rebah di lantai, jangan membelakangkan lawan ketika bergomol. Kalau ada lebih daripada seorang lawan, lebih baik kita jangan rebah.
Jika menangkap tangan lawan/uke, luruskan jari telunjuk, gunakan 3 jari lain dan ibu jari untuk menggenggam. Cengkaman tangan lebih kuat, tenaga kita boleh dikeluarkan.

Sembang-sembang.
Pembukaan rasmi dojo pada bulan 10 nanti, sensei minta kerjasama kami membantu menjayakannya. Mesyuarat pada Rabu minggu hadapan. Sensei Ramlan nak panggil semua sensei dia datang... juga untuk grading empat pelajar dia ambil tali pinggang hitam 1st DAN.
Sensei ada ajak turun berlatih di Austerlia, pergi dalam seminggu, tidur di dojo... aku berminat juga, tapi tengok lah nanti macamana bajet.
Sedar-sedar, dah dekat pukul 11 malam... kalau sensei tak ada hal, mau sampai tengah malam layan dia sembang.
Sebelum balik, sensei bagitau aku dan Ustaz Akram akan ambil grading 8th kyu Ahad nanti... esok datang lagi, insyaAllah.

lepas cuti...

19/8/2003
Selasa

Selepas cuti 3 hari tak berlatih, banyak benda terlupa... latihan, silibus asas 8th kyu.

Kamae - jarak kaki, kedudukan tangan, badan kena tegak... aisey
begitu juga dengan Tai No Henko 1 & 2...

Gerakan baru belajar, Shumatsu Dosa 1 & 2
Tamat pelajaran untuk 8th kyu.

Teknik hari ini.
Ikkajo. Uke pegang tangan hadapan. 2 Teknik, arah hadapan dan pusing

Latihan lain.
Berlatih mengelak serangan pisau... yang ni memang susah rasanya, sebab kena mengelak dan bergerak ke hadapan, bukan mengundur.

my 1st week...

2003-08-17T14:06:00.000+08:00

10/8 - 16/8/2003

Minggu pertama mengikuti kelas aikido.

Hari isnin tengok tempat dengan Ustaz Akram. Janji dengan dia sebelum tu nak terus mula kelas, tapi memandangkan dogi tak jumpa cari, maka tengok sajalah orang lain berlatih. Sesambil tu, tengok video yg dipasang di ruang tamu dojo. Sensei Ramlan memang ada koleksi video lama. Kebanyakannya sudah dialihkan ke format VCD. Kami mendaftar haritu juga.

Selasa 11/8, mula ikut kelas. Sensei ajar perkara asas dahulu. Begitu juga dengan hari Rabu sehingga Jumaat.

Kamae - keadaan sedia.
Ukemi - jatuhan ke belakang, jatuhan sisi, gulingan ke belakang, gulingan ke hadapan.
Shikko Ho - jalan melutut
Tai No Henko 1 - melangkah ke hadapan.
Tai No Henko 2 - berpusing ke belakang (95 darjah)
Hiriki No Yosei 1 - melangkah ke hadapan, kedua-dua tangan di hadapan dahi
Hiriki No Yosei 2 - melangkah ke hadapan, kedua-dua tangan di hadapan dahi. pusing ke belakang, tangan kiri lurus ke hadapan.

Latihan hari Khamis dan Jumaat saya ikut sebab ganti dua kelas pada minggu pertama bulan Ogos.

Bila sensei tunjuk aplikasi serangan bokken dengan Tai No Henko 2, baru nampak cara mengelak. Menakjubkan.

Tak sangka pula... aku ajak Din datang tengok latihan hari Rabu, dia bawa kawan-kawan yang lain. Adiknya Ida, Comel dan kawan-kawan pejabat dia. Amir pun datang juga. Khamis mereka ikut kelas percubaan. Amir datang bawa Kemm tengok. Jumaat, Din & Ida mendaftar sebagai ahli.
