KENJUTSU WORKSHOP WITH SENSEI JORGE KISHIKAWA - OCT 2017 COLORADO

por Niten - US/Denver - 21-Sep-2017



Kenjutsu
the original samurai sword combat technique


For his second Workshop in the USA, Sensei Jorge Kishikawa will be accompanied by several graduates, and will introduce the whole syllabus of Niten Institute"s practice of Kenjutsu: the varied ancient techniques and their application in free sparring, the philosophy and the tradition that fascinates his more than 1000 students on different continents.

In teaching the samurai sword arts for more than 40 years, Sensei Jorge Kishikawa has brought together techniques from innumerable samurai styles and modernized their application to combat training. Among many technical achievements, Sensei Jorge Kisihkawa earned the highest rank in the Niten Ichi Ryu style (founded by Miyamoto Musashi during the first half of the 17th century) from grand master Gosho Motoharu.

The combination of his outstanding technical skills, with the philosophy and knowledge gained through 50 years of close interaction with Japanese masters generated a unique practice experience that has been passed to his students in the Niten Institute since 1993, and is now also available in the US at the first dojos in Florida and Colorado.

You are welcome to join us in this Workshop for a strong introduction to Kenjutsu Combat!

Kenjutsu is the name given to the techniques developed by renowned samurai, which are still practiced in Japan in the form of katas (pre-defined movements that simulate combat using a wooden sword).

Kendo is the sport created by simplifying Kenjutsu techniques into 4 basic strokes and one kamae (posture/stance), using a modern Bogu (armor) and Shinai (bamboo sword).

Kenjutsu Combat, created by Sensei Jorge Kishikawa, is the application of ancient Kenjutsu techniques in combat with modern Bogu and Shinai, making sparring training possible, without the limits of Kendo. This allows for the use of other weapons, such as Kodachi (shortsword), two swords, and Naginata (Japanese pole-arm).

Shugyo de Izakiel - Fortaleza

por Niten - blog - 11-Sep-2017

Izakiel ficou em Shugyo (Retiro de treinamento intensivo com o Sensei Jorge Kishikawa e os veteranos da sede do Instituto )
No mês de Setembro, Izakiel escreveu sobre essa experiência de perseverança e superação:





O Shugyo é uma experiência intensa, em meio as tarefas e treinos diários, questionei minha capacidade de continuar.
Com o passar dos dias, percebi que embora as tarefas demandem minha energia, os treinos me recarregavam para o dia seguinte.
 
No Dojô, os Senpais demonstravam sua didática e liderança ao puxar os treinos, colocando tantos alunos em ordem sem baixar a energia do grupo.
A presença do Sensei é o fator mais importante. Com olhar aguçado e experiente, corrige a todos, apontando aqueles detalhes que não pudemos notar.
 
Shugyo também é convivência e cotidiano. Aprender a transportar a mesma energia que alcançamos nos treinos para o cotidiano, seja em nossas ações ou na convivência com outros, é algo dificílimo e vou me esforçar para melhorar neste ponto.
 
Agradeço ao Sensei pelas observações precisas e por partilhar seu conhecimento.
Aos Senpais pelos exemplos de conduta e pelos treinos.
Aos colegas de treino que me possibilitaram avançar no Caminho.
 
Domo Arigatô Gozaimashitá a todos.
 
Izakiel Paz

Kenzo in Florida

por Takeshi - US/Miami - 06-Sep-2017



We received Kenzo in the state of Florida this August.

Senpai went to Orlando in the Kissimmee Dojo and also in the Miami/Weston Dojo. It was a trip filled with training, talking, learning and also fun! Senpai Kenzo practiced with everyone, training almost every day of his visit and also took a time to go to Fort Lauderdale just to feel the waters of the North Atlantic in his feet.

We thank Senpai Kenzo for his visit and wish he can come back again soon.

Biirudo in Weston, FL

por Takeshi - US/Miami - 05-Sep-2017



After the Workshop with Senpai Kenzo, a Biirudo with the students.

We had a intense training with Senpai Kenzo, so nothing better than to relax with food and cold drinks! Not only that, but we could talk with Kenzo Senpai and learn more about the Bushido. In a more relaxed enviroment, more teachings and secrets are passed, not only about techniques, but mainly about Samurai and Japanese culture.

With this biirudo we say sayounara to Senpai Kenzo in Weston and wish him good luck in his next step.

Arigatou gozaimashita!
