International Shintaido Conference

2nd - 4th July 2008

Direct Teaching by AOKI SENSEI

The first event of the Festival, the Shintaido Instructors Conference is open to experienced instructors, or sempai (ni-dan and above), who will be able to receive direct instruction from Aoki-sensei, cooperate with each other on international matters, and challenge international level exams. In turn they will be able to share some of this experience with other instructors and assistants during the ESC Forum.
In this way, we expect that the KI from our national group practice will flow up, be gathered and made one under Aoki sensei's gorei, and then shared down-stream with other international instructors and assistants through the open space of the Shintaido Forum hosted by the European Shintaido Council.

Aoki Sensei’s message for the Conference:

It has almost been 30 years since Shintaido first started spreading to Europe. I am extremely delighted to see that many people have gained a happy life through their involvement in Shintaido. However, it is also true that as years pass by, the distinction between the elements of Shintaido that are well understood, and those that are not well accepted or acknowledged are becoming more apparent. However, if each technique is thoroughly grasped in every detail, the whole Shintaido system can be understood, leading to a pleasurable practice.
During this seminar, I would like to make especially sure that the core techniques are thoroughly understood by carefully correcting each person’s movement.
