For testing out, I created a #Matrix room for chatting about #aikido and #aikijujutsu. If you’re on or interested in Matrix, you should find it as #aiki:matrix.org (I believe, I’m still exploring).
Of course I’m also on a similar channel on the Martial Arts Alliance #Discord server (with channels on many #martialArts). The aiki channel there is pretty active.
Huh, I hit 100% in the #MartialProfile app ‘fitness gauge’. I’ll take that win, regardless of whether it’s actually true or not :D
L'entraînement, #couleur
J'avoue avoir manqué un peu de motivation sur cette colo, même si le dessin est finalement plutôt cool.
Il est inspiré d'une véritable technique d'#aïkido (suwariwaza nikkyo ura), mais ne correspond pas exactement à la technique réelle pour deux raisons :
- La 1ère est la contrainte des images de référence, qui ne représentaient pas strictement ce dont j'avais besoin, notamment pour la position des mains (finalement ça ressemble plus à yonkyo que nikkyo).
The greatest book about #leadership I ever read is about training #horses.
I picked it up because of #MarkRashid practices #Aikido & because I like horses. It is totally worth it just for those reasons.
My workplace then was super-toxic. What I learned from the herds mirrored my work.
1) #Alphas & people who aspire to that role are assholes. Some people mean well, but the label fits.
2) The real leader is the one who’s followed.
3) Kind strength gets followed.
🧵
In “Horses Never Lie,” acclaimed horse trainer Mark Rashid breaks new ground by challenging the longstanding belief that a person must become the “alpha leader” in order to work with horses.Instead, “Horses Never Lie” teaches you how to become a “passive leader”—a reflection of the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to be around and to follow. It’s a must-read for all horse owners who care about their horses and the kind of relationship they have with them.
