Can you pull out a long sword? Are you drawing your sword with your strength?

Opened on April 8, 1991 "Aikido that allows you to break the opponent's grip on you"
At Aikido Rakushinkan, you can practice not only Aikido, but also ancient martial arts such as Daito-ryu and Asayama Ichiden Ryuijutsu, and connect it with the rationale of Ono-ha Itto-ryu and Mugen Shintou-ryu Iaijutsu to create the ``Kenju Ittai'' technique. Based on this idea, we practice with the aim of ``aiki that can break the opponent's grasp from a place where they are seriously holding on,'' rather than just a formal and beautiful practice.
Aikido is a martial art where you face yourself, with no competition and no winning or losing, so everyone from children to the elderly can enjoy learning it. We hone our techniques not by relying on arm strength or explosive power, but through breathing and relaxation.

当会は身長をあまり考慮せず女性でも二尺七～八寸（約８５㎝）の出来るだけ長めの居合刀で稽古を実施しています。なぜなら短いと、右腕力やテクニックで抜刀してしまうからです。「剣柔一体」の教えを意識し胸の落とし、緩みを意識しながら居合の稽古をして　剣術や体術へ繋げていきます。
