Japanese Shorinji Kempo Delegetion visits Amsterdam Dojo
In commemoration of 400 years of trade
between Japan and the Netherlands,
a large Japanese Budo Delegation visited the Netherlands
to give demonstrations and workshops of Japanese Budo.
In his opening speech, Matsunaga Hikaru, president of the
Nippon Budokan Foundation, emphasized the long history of japanese
Budo and the continuous contribution of Budo training
to the health and education of youth.
The Japanese martial arts presented included
Judo, Kendo, Kyudo, Sumo, Karatedo, Aikido, Naginata, Jukendo,
and Shorinji Kempo.
Shorinji Kempo was represented by Onogi Kenzo (8th dan),
Sasaki Masato (7th dan),
Arai Shoji (6th dan),
Uesugi Yoshiki (4th dan),
Mii Chiemi (4th dan),
and Oka masako (4th dan).
In the public demonstration, that attracted around 400 spectators, they showed tan'en, pair-form embu,
as well as goho and juho randori, which were all very well received
by the audience.
The day prior to the demonstration, the Japanese Shorinji Kempo
delegation visited our Amsterdam Dojo, and honored us with a
guest lesson in which we practised
general techniques
and in which Onogi sensei taught us
okuri gote and kote nage, with a special rotational twist
that was new to us.
After training, we all went to have a Dutch dinner,
with limited beer and wine, in anticipation of the demonstration
the next day.
After talking
and smoking a sigarette with Onogi sensei, my training partner
Gil and I decided to follow the invitation to
take our 3rd dan exam at Hombu, which we will do in the
summer training camp of august 10-13, 2010.
