Aikido Mushinryu
AIKIDO is a Japanese martial art that differs from Karate and Judo.
Hong Kong Korindo Aikido Mushinryu (香港光輪洞合氣道無心流) is a
non-profit community dedicated to the studies and promotion of aikido in the city.
Our dojo is a branch of Korindo Aikido,
which was founded in Japan by Grand Master Hirai in the last century. Korindo Aikido includes the legacy 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.
Our training includes jujitsu and weapons such as ken (sword), jo (4-foot stick), bo (6-foot stick), and naginata (6- or 8-foot long sword).
Our dojo 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 Mushinryu Aikido is an
entirely difference if compared with any other school of aikido, we thus expect all new comers to start as
beginners -- and to wear white belt.
Internal martial art
Members in our Mushinryu dojo follow a comprehensive and effective 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, in which each member learns
the principles of aikido--including kenjutsu and some other weapons--plus the foundation of internal martial arts.
As any internal martial art, Mushinryu Aikido focuses on body posture, coordination, and internal
energy. From this perspective, Mushinryu Aikido is like Taichi. We carry out all movements in a
circular, gentle, relaxing, and continuous manner. However, being relaxing does not mean flabbiness. In order to
attack or defend effortlessly, we need to master the correct posture, coordination, and movement. Internal energy
can gradually build up after a few years of 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.
