Test Reigi and Performance

Aikido Test Reigi:
  1. When Maida Sensei calls you up to test quickly stand up and walk to shomen, sit seiza and wait.

    When Sensei says, "hajime" (begin), remain in seiza:
    • bow to shomen bow to the testing panel (wait until Sensei bows) bow to your partner
    • stand up immediately and wait

    Sensei will announce nage (person throwing) and uke (person falling) and call out the techniques to perform. Continue doing one technique until another is called.

  2. When Sensei says, "yame" (stop):
    • sit in seiza, facing your partner and bow bow to shomen bow to the testing panel (wait for Sensei)
    • immediately stand up and return to the line

    • stand up (Sensei will tell you to face toward or away from shomen) and wait

    The testing panel will call out the exercise to perform.

Performance:
Since you should already know the techniques, the testing panel will be evaluating your overall performance as both uke and nage. Listen carefully and perform confidently. SLOW DOWN and use all the space provided. Even if you go "blank" do something.
