Manny Jimenez has been training in the martial arts since 1973.This event is open to all martial artists and schools and is inclusive of all skill and ability levels.Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is a 1,200-year-old samurai martial art. It has directly influenced the development of many popular martial arts, such as Aikido, Shorinji Kempo, Hakko Ryu Jujutsu and Hapkido.Daito Ryu’s core principles and focus on subtle manipulations of balance will complement and enrich any martial arts training. Once a secret art, passed generation to generation through the Takeda clan, the system of Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu was revived in the late 19th century by Sokaku Takeda, 32nd in line of the Takeda family.Weekly classes are held here in Hikari Dojo at Wisdom of the Ages with Charlie Siegel, an Authorized Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Study Group under Roy Goldberg Sensei. Attendance of these weekly classes is not required for attending the seminar, but can be advantageous for those interested in training!As Goldberg Sensei says, "To understand aiki, you have to put your hands on somebody who has it. It’s like chocolate ice cream. I can’t explain it to you until you’ve tasted it."You can’t get an explanation of aiki in words. You get an explanation in feel. Your body understands the feeling. It can only be explained in your body, both by the practitioner and the one who feels it. Your internal self develops so that you can explain it through your body. This isn’t mystical nonsense. Your body doesn’t have discussions with your brain. That’s why when I teach, I teach to your body, to your nervous system, not your brain. By teaching your body I’m teaching you how to develop aiki. If I teach to your brain I’m just teaching you technique. The greatness is in your body, so you can’t just get off the mat and intellectualize it and hope to develop aiki."Shugyo is the only path."Jimenez Sensei will be demonstrating Aiki and teaching some of the powerful techniques and principles of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu. - A wonderful opportunity for training!​- Contact us to reserve your space! - This event will be limited to 10 in-person attendees to allow for proper spacing in the room for practicing the techniques.
