"Simplicity in all things is the secret of the wilderness and one of its most valuable lessons. It is what we leave behind that is important. I think the matter of simplicity goes further than just food, equipment, and unnecessary gadgets; it goes into the matter of thoughts and objectives as well. When in the wilds, we must not carry our problems with us or the joy is lost."
-Sigurd F. Olson, Naturalist and Author of The Singing Wilderness
“People will do what is comfortable for them. So if you allow them to, they will just make it up for themselves. That is why, you must always return to the basics. This is what is important.”
-Gozo Shioda Total Aikido
The Yoshinkan Aikido Kihon Dosa consists of a set of six basic movements which are considered the foundation of the art. They were created to teach the correct position of the body as they relate to the basic Aikido techniques. They can each be performed solo or with a partner, empty handed or with a sword.
From the core or trunk, each branch sprouts and more and more growth is possible; but we always return to the core.
