Aikido


L'aïkido (合気道) a été fondé par Morihei Ueshiba au cours du 20ème sciecle, mais basé sur des écoles d'arts martiaux bien plus anciennes (essentiellement le jūjutsu de l'école daitō ryū, l'escrime ou kenjutsu et l'Aikijutsu).

Aikido porte jusqu'à la perféction l'harmonie et la précision du mouvement; cet art apprend à controler l'énergie de son corps, à unir les énergies de corps des deux partenaires, à agir comme un intermédiaire entre un état de violence et un état où la violence n'existe plus. On peut comparer la personne qui agit de cette façon à un « passeur d'orages » : non pas celui qui empêche les orages de tomber, mais celui qui les dirige de manière à ce qu'ils ne fassent pas de dégâts.

Has Emlyn's Martial Arts fixation rubbed off on you. I like Martial Arts but I can't read an entire blog about it every day so I only subscribe to his other blog.

Things aren't good. I've failed again to get a good job. My mom should have let me go back to China and do the only the job I've ever been offered.

We've been without power for days. I couldn't take being alone in the dark anymore. I walked for over an hour in the rain to a little cafe.

Now my grandmother has come and found me.

Things aren't going well, I'm tired of being alone.

I can't read Russian and I can barely conjugate a verb in French anymore, but when I look at it written down it makes sense.

One relatively famous Canadian writer said Canadians are the best at translating ceral boxes in the world because all our packaging is bilingual so you sit and stare at the packaging and work out what Rioflavins is in French.

I'm just wasting away...
