2012

Daca anul trecut am reluat practica prin o lectie predata de Dorin Marshis sensei, presedintele Fundatiei Romane de Aikido Aikikai, anul acesta am primit o veste importanta in ceea ce-l priveste pe acelasi Dorin Marchis sensei, respectiv promovarea sa la gradatia de 5 dan. Avand in vederea aceste doua elemente mentionate anterior, sper ca anul 2012 sa fie cel putin la fel de fructuos ca si 2011, atat pentru dojo-ul Kenshin cat si pentru Fundatie

If we started last year with a practice leded by Dorin Marchis sensei, Romanian Aikido Aikikai Foundation's president, this year we received an important message regarding the same Dorin Marchis sensei, i.e. his godan (5th dan) promotion. Considering these two above mentioned events, we hope that 2012 will be as goos as 2011 at least, both for Kenshin dojo and for the Romanian Aikido Aikikai Foundation.

In ceea ce ne priveste pe noi, vom continua sa practicam, asa cum ne spunea de multe ori, de foarte multe ori Fujita Masatake sensei si speram sa progresam cu totii, intr-o masura mai mare sau mai mica.

As far that we are concerned, we will continue to practice, as Fujita Masatake sensei told us many many times and we hope to have some progress, more or less.

Nu cunosc alta cale de a merge pe aceasta Cale decat prin practica si printr-o atitudine corecta si pozitiva. Aceleasi elemente care ne sunt de folos in viata de zi cu zi si nu numai pe tatami. Cum altfel am gasi puterea de a continua, chiar daca ne este greu, foame, sete, lene, etc, etc, sa practicam ? Cum altfel am putea gasi puterea de a infrunta greutatile, mici sau mari, ale vietii cotidiene?

I do not know any other way to walk this Way than practice with a good and correct attitude. The same things which are useful to us on our daily life and not on tatami only. How else we would find the power to continue, even if it is difficult, even if we are houngry and thirsty, lasy and so on ? How else we would have the power to confront the obstacles, smaller or bigger, of the daily life?

Astfel, fata de cele de mai sus, adresez un indemn tuturor elevilor mei, de a practica cat mai mult si mai entuziast, fara a economisi energia, pentru a deveni oameni mai buni decat sunt deja si pentru a progresa pe Cale.

So, considering those, I urge all my students to practice as much as possible, with the maximum amount of enthusiasm, with no energy saving, for become better persons than today and to advance on the Way.

Acelasi indemn il adresez si celorlalti practicanti, indiferent de locul in care au ales sa practice, pentru ca asa cum spune un proverb oriental (pe care il citez aproximativ) :

The same ure is addressed to all the other practitioners, wherever they choose to practice, because it is like in this oriental saying (cited approximately) :

"Sunt o mie de carari care merg catre varful muntelui, odata insa ajunsi sus, admiram cu totii, aceeasi Luna"

"There are one thousand ways to the mountain top, but when we are alread there, with admire al the same Moon"
