Aikido Ukemi: Ushiro Otoshi

Aikido Ukemi: Ushiro Otoshi

Donovan Waite Sensei started practicing Aikido in 1969, at a very young age. As a 14 year old, he received his 1st Degree Black Belt from Ralph Reynolds Sensei who was under the direction of T.K. Chiba Sensei in Birmingham, England. Since then Waite Sensei has spent the last 37 years persuing a deeper understanding of Aikido. Along that path, Waite Sensei has had the opportunity to train under many of Aikido's foremost instructors. In 1984 he apprenticed himself to Yoshimitsu Yamada Sensei, chairman of the United States Aikido Federation and chief instructor of the New York Aikikai. For over ten years he was Uchi Deshi, or live-in student, under Yamada Sensei and he still holds a weekly teaching position at the New York Aikikai. Since 1997 Donovan Waite Sensei has been the chief instructor of Aikido of Center City.

He currently holds the rank of 7th Dan and is a certified Shihan, or Master Instructor, with both the United States Aikido Federation and the Aikido World Headquearters in Tokyo, Japan. Waite Sensei is one of the few, and one of the youngest, Westerners to reach this milestone. He also serves on the USAF Technical Committee. In addition to his duties with the USAF and Aikido of Center City, Waite Sensei extensively travels the world teaching Aikido. He has conducted Aikido seminars in various cities of North, Central, & South America, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, & South East Asia. Waite Sensei is a full-time, professional martial artist who has dedicated his life to the practice and teaching of Aikido.

Very good. Please provide more.

Very good! 身のこなしが非常に理にかなっていて参考になります。

I've never seen anyone doing ukemi like Donovan, it's very good. He even makes it look easy...

[Oty3d]

I'll have to practice this.

[chicobonzai]

Super sick! I've been wondering how to do this without doing a big baseball slide that ends in a back flop. Practice begins tonight!

[MrAikisan]

Very beautifully, I will use it.

@Junjokar Em relação ao Inglês, é suficiente para meu uso, mas confesso que gostaria de dominar melhor o idioma. Acabei aprendendo mais durante a pós-graduação pela leitura e fala, sem me aprofundar na gramática. Mas, vamos praticando Aikido, Inglês... E, quem sabe, melhorando em ambos! Bons treinos, abraço.

@Junjokar Na verdade me referia à sua resposta ser agressiva, já que fez um "ataque" pessoal (ao Inglês especificamente). O comentário sobre a cor do Shihan achei apenas "infeliz"; talvez por ter ficado fora de contexto caso fosse uma resposta a alguém. Vale lembrar também que, caso sua intenção fosse ser irônico ou algo deste gênero no comentário, é impossível para quem lê saber disso: há uma enorme dissociação entre a palavra falada e a escrita (como professor de línguas você sabe disto).

[Junjokar]

@AtmanxId Você viu agressão aonde não havia nenhuma. Eu simplesmente declarei o óbvio: Só porque uma pessoa é negra não quer dizer que ela é latina e nem que ela deve se limitar a praticar artes correspondentes. E eu nem vou me adentrar neste assunto do inglês, é óbvio que você me entendeu mal e me respondeu de uma maneira desagradável e eu respondi de uma maneira rude, embora eu tenha sido professor na CNA antes de mudar de emprego. Talvez até pratiquemos no mesmo dojo e nem saibamos, um abraço

@Junjokar As an Aikidoka is odd how you´re reacting before any real attack and creating it yourself. There is no insult against you. But, if you wanted to show how the "fact the guy's black" (is it correct??) has nothing to do with what kind of martial art he should practice", maybe the way you expressed yourself was not quite clear or out of context.

About my unhappy writing, I sincerely apologize. Still working on it. But I´m sure you, as a senior English writer, can enlighten me about it.
