Dufan

In order to have holiday after having a week full of training, the jujitsan of untar dojo went to Dufan (dunia fantasi). Gathered at my place, we set out on 8.50am. There, we spent time talking and some of the girls bought hats cause it's sunny.

At 11, the gate opened up. first thing we did is eat our breakfast then we start to play the arcade. When it came to 'arung jeram', we were wringing wet (because of some stupid guy who drench us) and have to carry our wet dresses all day round.

Last, we played the 'bianglala' and got home at 7. Not much to tell from this trip

Untar Ju-Jitsu Family

For us Jujitsu apprentice in Untar dojo, our Partners and friends are family. Having the wound and fun together, bounds us into a kind of relationship that never comes to else mind before.

Gathering together to eat after training is one of our dojo's mannerism. forefront training in mountain or coast also an occation for us to assamble. Not to mention the holiday to beach or a mount. In real life also, some of us work together in a firm or office. When one of us need help, all of us will give a hand to his/her. The old help the young and the young respect their forerunner and so vice versa. that's the way of our JuJitsu Family

I-kyushin Ryu

Many of my friends always think that jujitsu is only about grappling and submission. It's right if we're talking about BJJ (Brazillian Ju-Jitsu). But i'm not a BJJ practicioner. i learnt the IJI jujitsu. A Martial Art that consist of punching, kicking, throwing, submissioning and self-defending.

The Biggest difference between BJJ and I-Kyushin is BJJ is strong in the ground fighting and how to take the opponent to the ground, while I-Kyushin strong in standing fight and got more balance in all aspec (punch,kick and throw).

Of course there're hundreds other jujitsu proselyte out there. For example, America Jujutsu and Quantum Jujitsu are one of the noted jujitsu beside BJJ and I-Kyushin Ryu. Which one is the strongest? There is no answer for this Question except one try it all.

The Book of Five Ring - Musashi Miyamoto


For them who want to go through my Martial Art way, thence the etique to practic:
1 think without knavery
2 forge yourself in the road
3 touch every arts
4 comprihens the way of every vocation
5 comprihens the taking and lose of all happen
6 grow eyes that sharp for every things
7 know what can't be saw by eyes
8 observe even the smallest things
9 don't involve in the useless events

that a small fragment of the book of five ring by miyamoto musashi. In this book, he taught us his way to become a warrior. from the nothing to become legend. It's really a good book for people who want to know the epic of his legend. Also to train ourself to follow his road.

the book itself parted in 5 section. the earth, water, fire, wind and the last the blank section. Every section has its way to teach us the way of The legendary Musashi 's Martial Arts

Aikido - the way of unifying life energy


Half year ago, I went back to my hometown in my vacation. There, i have a friend name's David. He was the one who taught me about what aikido&BJJ is. He learn aikido himself, and due to that, i joined aikido in my vacation.

The Dojo i joined was seiki dojo. It wasn't only go through aikido, but also the combine of jujitsu and other martial arts too. When the first time i joined, it feels prosaic cause of the basic i have in other martial arts.

But, after some weeks, It became strict. Not only we had to enhanced our stamina, but also the technic become more and more ooze and complicated. Now that i know, aikido isn't as plain as people talked about.

Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. Founder of Aikido is Morihei Ueshiba A.K.A. Oshensei.
It containes the basic tech as:
-First-Fifth technic (ikkyo-gokyo)
-4 direction throw (shihonage)
-forearm return (kotegaeshi)
-Breath throw (kokyunage)
-Entering throw (iriminage)
-Heaven and earth throw (techinage)
-Hip throw (koshinage)
-Figure-ten throw (jujinage)
-Rotary throw (kaitennage)

learning aikido was not as easy as it seems. Be careful, althought seems to be soft, it can really hurt people
