The School of Music and Performing Arts was the perfect set to welcome another international seminar organized by APARN in the past weekend of October 4th and 5th.
In an intimate and familiar environment, those present had the opportunity to absorb the always fascinating knowledges of Luc Deweys Sensei. In every visitation, this Master always makes us find new technique in movements that, although simple and obvious, or perhaps for those same reasons, are often disregarded.
Sensei Deweys took the opportunity to approach basic techniques which, on a higher level, tend to be underestimated, and with this also managed to harmoniously integrate students of diverse graduations. The close contact he is able to maintain with the practitioners allows him to identify each one’s difficulties in order to avoid repeatedly wrong and unnecessary movements or, as it is usually called “parasite movements”. Movements that, quite often expose the use of force when precision is really the purpose within this art.
A really fair testimony of this seminar would mean a post of several pages. In short, at the end of this seminar it remained, as always, the feeling that the individual progression path is still long; as well as the great will to receive Luc Deweys Sensei once more, very soon, so that he may keep up such dedicated and patient work like the one he’s been developing with this faithful group of aikidokas (APARN associates or not) that is as enthusiastic for this art as for its master as well.
Aiki Greetings
