TAKEKIRU WITH BOKKEN

​Takekiru (bamboo cutting) with Bokken originated from Tempu Nakamura Sensei of Tempukai and was brought into the Shinshin Toitsu Aikido world by Soshu Koichi Tohei. Soshu emphasized that the goal of any practice is to deepen our understanding of Ki principles, not just achieve physical results, and that's how we approach Takekiru. The videos below highlight unsuccessful and successful attempts, showing how small corrections and a shift in mindset can lead to improvement. Note the similar end posture of all the successful attempts, reflecting a deeper mind-body connection.
