This is a discussion of the 3rd Rule for Instructors, by Koichi Tohei Sensei. This talk focuses on the spirit of non-dissension, a mind of non-fighting. We ask the question, when and why are we willing to abandon our humanity for the sake of a relative and temporary benefit? What is "winning without fighting"?

does somebody know do you tie your belt around your waist or over tour bellybutton? cus when i go over my belly it always slides up and my kimono messes up. i’ve always seen men put theirs under or over their bellies and as a woman we also have smaller waist so idk? does it even matter where you tie it?
Madness......
Thank you Sensei
Thank you Sensei.
Thank you Sensei. And thank you for the questions, very helpful.
Thank you Sensei.
Thank you so much, Sensei, for your generosity in sharing these videos with anyone who wants to watch them.

A friend, Ken Hill-now living in Wheeler Oregon- shared with me your book Letting Go. I am finding it very useful, especially in creating another language or map…which deepens my understanding and practice growing out of a buddhist inspired meditation. Of course there is only one meditation…
How does the teaching of plus and minus Ki fit in with the acceptance of everything? It feels like the promotion of plus Ki and the elimination of minus Ki is a dualistic teaching… The acceptance of one but not the other. Could someone comment on this? Thanks 🙏 Or perhaps the meaning of plus Ki IS the acceptance of everything, and minus Ki represents the non acceptance of things.
Hello Daniel - Thank you for your question. "Accepting everything" does not mean that we must follow every invitation down the proverbial '"rabbit hole.'" On the other hand, our practice considers that aversion to an idea, circumstance, or a person is just an inverted kind of clinging. '"Accepting everything" means seeing life's imbroglios for what they are, not more nor less, and learning to let them be, instead of struggling to force change simply because we can't be in the presence of that which challenges us. While it is true that "plus Ki" and "minus Ki" may appear to us as obvious opposites in this world of relative values, such judgements ultimately lead only to a sense of confusion and separation, as you suggest. We encourage the choice of :plus Ki only when we are struggling with something we see as "negative" or minus Ki. Actually, minus Ki has no substance of its own, but is only the absence of plus Ki, in the same way that darkness is the absence of light. We don't need to struggle to fight off the darkness, we simply turn on the light of awareness. This is plus Ki.
@@mauikiaikido844 thank you 🙏
Another inspiring session - great question too Fincher 😊
Клоуны 🤡🤡
and she kept it simple.
always a woman or a girl that shows you the correct way of doing things! Dad you failed!! LOL!!
Thank you very helpful
I miss my old copy of Tohei’s Ki Sayings. I got it back in the 90s when I lived in Baltimore and practiced at the Towsontown dojo. But too many moves later and it’s lost. I no longer live near a Ki Society dojo to get another one. Thank you for your teaching sensei.
The Shokushu (sayings) of Tohei Sensei have recently been retranslated and re-edited for the Ensish speaking community. If you send you email to me (chrscurtis@mac.com) I will forward you a copy. Thanks for your kind words, C.
Domo arigato!
Ok now i can do a Kamehameha?
back to eating chips while watching UFC my guy =)
Thank you very much for providing this information publicly. You are not my direct Sensei but I suspect the chain would connect eventually, but in my mind one does not only learn from a single teacher but from all life. In this measure I thank you.
It would be better to not use a black belt for the demonstration but a white one, lovingly colored on one side (I made one for showing)
As this is oddly the first comment for this teaching. Can you learned men indulge me with a few seconds of pause...Before i dare stir the calm waters .. . I hesitate of course as commentary seems both good practice; (for writing links thoughts in happy ways.) and conversely it represents the greatest barrier to real practice. giving bricks to a drowning man. And as a drowning man. I have come to understand this... That fter twenty years of enduring an unquenchable burning intellectually; to try to define what the very question i should be asking is. I am left gladly, perhaps finally where i started... Staring nervously at the training. Truth maybe only right practice. Ive noticed ki presents itself in these kind of unforgable circuitous journeys which by their nature are suggest a proof of concept or at least a starting point. If intention has any weight i would like too in still in this comment; the strength for everyone who in their practice whilst reaching for revelation and prophecy turn at the last and grasp humilty. To those who will dedicate their lives to carry forward the way... i bow three times.
Thank you for very interesting discussion!
this is exactly as we are taught in the Oregon KI Society - Jo nage #1
Thank you for sharing, Tracy Reasoner Sensei! 😊
The third style is better and looks better. Close to the style i did, when practicing Jiu jitsu 🥋
👍🏾
Onegai itashimasu, sensei Curtis. Saludos a todos. Quiero que recordemos que casi como una práctica aparentemente inconsciente del movimiento constante del ki en la naturaleza (vida dotada obviamente de aliento vital y energía con voluntad propia de expresión en comunión con todo), nos la recuerda, muy oportunamente en estos tiempos críticos, la desconcertante y no sujeta a reglas fijas brotación floral del bambú, que lo hace un año inopinadamente sin seguir regla fija. Un año entre tantos. Como una poética expresión del Misterio. Y sin embargo, el año que florece el bambú (después de 20 u 80 años o cuantos quiera, sin seguir esa regla fija anual que siguen las plantas y los árboles en general), lo hace, florece, en todo el mundo al tiempo, durante el año. Todo el bambú del planeta está sincronizado para escoger un año determinado y florecer. La covid, ha de ser sujetada por el ki en movimiento y lo será, eso sí, sin fecha, como no la tenemos de la floración inexplicable del bambú. Hemos de creer que su debilitamiento, (tal vez incluso su extenuación) también inopinadamente, un año cualquiera se producirá, y dejará de ofrecer la letalidad actual. Es bueno meditar, así inducidos por él, con un motor posibilitador como nuestro sensei Curtis, que con su trabajo nos despeja el camino. Hacerlo bajo la atenta mirada suya es un raro privilegio y la proximidad de su compañía nos da alegría y fortalece nuestra confianza y esperanza. Tener a sensei Carlos en todas estas experiencias es un regalo que yo acepto muy agradecido. Carlitos, amigo, onegai shimasu. El grupo de aikido, ahora en cierta diáspora circunstancial, es una pequeña multitud de islas en donde en cada una de ellas el bambú prepara su siguiente floración. Con las manos desnudas y el alma armada y lista. Aikido.
Thank you very much, Sensei
Thanks sensei.
Thank you.
Superb👍
Thank you Curtis Sensei.
You are very welcome
Thank you so much, Sensei!
Thank you Sensei so much!
Hi sensei. Could you write the text of your lecture ander video? It will be great.
Hi Epmek, I'm John and I'm helping manage the site, but not sure what you mean by write the text of your lecture and video? Did you mean transcribe it to read on paper? LMK. Thank you.
Yes, please transcribe the content of the video. Thanks.
Greetings from sweden
Thank you Jonny, if you want you can always join us on Zoom. LMK. Thank you.
it's so nice to see and hear you again, Curtis Sensei...i have thought of you and Suzuki Sensei many times over the years, nearly 25 now. i enjoyed the story/teaching you recalled of Suzuki Sensei regarding 'holding' those in maui as well as those in germany. i reflect on his wisdom periodically while swinging my arms, bouncing on my feet and saying, 'so what...so what...so what'...and i can still feel his lovely heart and see his smile, and that lesson is still one of my favorite that Suzuki Sensei taught me. for me, i have come to regard 'so what' as meaning...fearlessness. and this must start by overcoming the fear of death...then all our other fears. i don't believe it has anything to do with 'emotion' as one of your students was asking about...emotion is just another point of contact of all our fears, some of which are justified...but not useful...not 'perfect'. which is why our training never stops. i would say to your student...do not be afraid, even of your emotion. keep training...listen to Curtis Sensei...remember Suzuki Sensei, who always seemed to me a man not afraid, and truthful. and i think the reason is that, all 'right action' that conforms to the good is timeless and boundless...we see but the reflection in this embodied experience...when you keep what is right as your compass and aim, all else may be encountered in the true spirit of SO WHAT? and hopefully, at some point, also in the spirit of happiness with a big smile.
Thank you so much, Sensei !

Es uno de los grandes maestros del KI Aikido
I can’t understand those movements. The movements don’t start from che center, but from the side of the head and for me this is useless.
Interesting - yes, originally I was taught a lot of movement and loud exhaling, the idea seemed to be how loud can you make it and still go on for a long time. So there was a lot of emphasis on keeping the chin dropped back on the exhale to constrict the throat so the air would not escape too quickly. Not really pleasant to do for an hour.

Very different from jo kata of Saito sensei. I don’t like these because they seems to me without power.
Lol this is a slow motion... With the true speed, his jo is fast enough to knock out or to puncture anybody... And a jo is just a wooden weapon to practice... it's supposed to be a spear or a sword. Even with a slowmotion it's hard to read his moves... It's kind of scary actually :)
This is slo-motion. Lol. Find a Florida video of him at full speed, it’s just about in-human. Finishes with him using the jo to toss Yamada Sensei around like a rag doll.
Craig Hocker I have seen it’s a slow motion lol, but it seems to me that it’s just a movements by his arms. The strikes don’t start from his center. This is my opinion.
@@yoshimitsu72 Maybe sometimes, But if you see a similar jo-kata from O-Sensei, it is the same.. more arms than center at some points in the kata.. It seems to be mostly Jo.. follow the Jo..
yoshimitsu has a valid point in that Ki Society's emphasis was on natural flow and movement rather than form based strength.
