Korindo Aikido
AIKIDO is a Japanese martial art that differs from Judo but inherits the same legacy of Jujutsu.
Hong Kong Korindo Aikido (香港光輪洞合氣道) is a
non-profit community dedicated to the promotion and training of Korindo Aikido in the city. We have run our dojos in Hong Kong for more than 20 years.
We are the Hong Kong branch of Korindo Aikido,
which was founded in Japan by Grand Master Hirai Minoru in the last century. Korindo Aikido includes the training of several
traditional schools (koryu) of jujitsu and kenjitsu. Although the theories and techniques are ancient,
our training method is interesting, effective, and inspirational to anyone who
wishes to understand martial arts in the East.
Mushinryu dojo is the headquarters in Hong Kong. It is open to everyone and visitors are always welcome. Please check our training schedule
or you may contact us at
haman838@hotmail.com. However, as Korindo Aikido is very
different from any other school of aikido, we thus expect all new comers to start as
beginners -- and to wear white belt.
Internal martial art
Members at Mushinryu dojo follow a study plan to train
themselves to the level of black-belt (1st dan) and higher.
The basic curriculum (to 1st dan) extends over a period of three years, during which a member learns
the principles of aikido--including kenjutsu and some other weapons--plus the foundation of internal martial arts.
As an internal martial art, Korindo Aikido focuses on body posture, coordination, and internal
energy. From this perspective, Korindo Aikido is like Taichi. We carry out all movements in a
circular, gentle, relaxing, and continuous manner. However, being relaxing does not mean flabbiness. This is the
correct posture, coordination, and movement that we have learned to do the attack or defend so effortlessly.
Internal energy is no mystery, especially if you can spend a few years to follow our training.
Mushin literally means "heartless." The term comes from the Diamond Sutra, which
says "the heart emerges wherever and whenever it should be and nothing should stand in its way," to illustrate the
principle of "non-abidance" (Apratisthita in Sanskrit), as well as the Code of Ethics of Korindo. Please read the explanation on Wikipedia.
