Shodan test

[@yolandaalvarado9224]

Saludos desde México!!! Soy Yolanda, tengo 79 años, empecé a practicar AIKIDO a los 72 años, adaptado a silla de ruedas pues tuve un evento cerebro vascular, mi hijo sensei Julio Herminio Ramírez Alvarado del Dojo Tenayuca, de la Ciudad de México, es quien me ha capacitado, me he recuperado y mantenido muy bien. EXCELENTE SU AIKIDO!!!

Excellent demonstration of the high standards required at Tenzan Aikido.

PHILOSOPHY THE KI TO WAR PaulTeich©️03/15/2024 My hands My hands have pounded rice My hands of hounded beans My hands have pale pebbles My hands have pounded rock My hands have been jabbed through buckets of all of these things My hands have broken boards My hands are broken five boards My feet have broken boards I broke five boards with my feet My hands have pounded railroad ties My hands have pounded telephone polls My feet have pounded telephone polls My hands have pounded trees My feet have pounded trees My arms, my legs, my body have been pounded by sticks Boken Hanbo Roku shaku bow And the iron arm I have been beaten broken I have beaten and broken I remember the snap of my tibia and fibula I have felt the sting of nunchuku As I have felt the soft throw sending me aloft 6 feet in the air and across the mat of Aikido I have felt the hip throw of Hapkido I have felt the highflying kick of tae kwon do I have been brutalized and amazed by Koga Ru ninjutsu I remember elements of Okinawan Kenpo Chinese Kenpo And American Kenpo And there was praying, mantis kung fu And jukafushido There’s more But I’m old now And I have only my grandchildren to teach my kung fu And the knowledge that we train and harden ourselves, so that we can be soft and know when not to fight Two hands must join together as their energies must join in common cause to form a throw and go in the same direction The one who knows that can redirect the other, and cause peace or submission, and end all fighting The one who knows that Can redirect the evil ones ki Like, stepping into the path of the sword Can place you in heaven #peaceandlove #martialartsjourney #ceasefirenow

What was it?? in aikido, use free sparring during the exam??

[@nikitashilov4621]

If this is shodan test why are they already wearing black belts?

[@anima132000]

I'm wondering that too.

[@shia_labeouf]

In many schools ladies are permitted to wear hakama before they reach Shodan. Traditionally this is due to modesty and tradition as the gi was merely considered humble undergarments.

[@benzekat7581]

@@shia_labeouf hakama yes, not black belt - maybe it's a very dark blue obi she's using ? in my dojo, we don't have colors before shodan indeed, some others do (white, yellow, orange, etc) because they like knowing which kyu others are (often the case with children)

[@shia_labeouf]

@@benzekat7581 I think that's just the hakama straps, it's hard to tell though.
