 So here my session, right, talk about my two passions. My one passion is Azure, as you can see here, right? But the other passion I have is Akido. How many of you know about Akido? Can you raise your hand? Oh, okay. So there's some practitioner here. That's good. So what's about, right, what's about Azure and Akido? And my approach, right, so the color turns a little bit green here. That's the Bangalore color, right? So I hope you can see that. Let's keep it simple, right? So what do we do here? So this is a short introduction of me, right? So I've been in the industry for a while, and I'm also a life learner, right? I learn everything I see, right? So I start my Azure and Akido journey almost at the same time. And the more I practice, I practice Azure, the more I practice Akido, the more similarity I see. And I go to tell why, I think the way, and we are going to see how things goes. And it might be if there are enough time, maybe we can practice a little bit here. I hope you like it. So we will talk about Akido, and how many of you have not heard about the Shuhari? Okay. So Shuhari is basically a concept from Akido. It's basically from your learn, from your practice, and from your break-up kata. So I'm going here. So what's Akido, right? So Akido is coming from Japan, and it's a martial arts firm, and you can see the founder picture here, right? So it's coming from Oshinsen, Morihei Yoshiba. And Akido has three characters. So the first character we have is I, right? I is joining, combining, and fitting. Key is your spirit. This is always the theory behind, right? So it's not body. It's the key, key-building flows, right? And doh is the way. So it's the way of harmonize. Harmonize the world, harmonize your environment, harmonize yourself. And it was the principle based on the founder, right? So the way of the warrior has been always misunderstood. It's not meant to kill or destroy. This is to seek to complete better yourself to make a terrible mistake here, right? So to smash, to destroy, that's the worst thing you can do. So that's what Akido is about. Akido is not about to destroy opponents. Akido is about to harmonize yourself, find a better way with your environment and yourself. So this is about Suhari, right? So I think the Asia community will talk about Suhari, right? But I do think there's a better understanding that can be done about Suhari. And Suhari is about embrace the kata, kata is the technique, right? And devise from the kata and discard the kata. And what I put here, the first part is learning, right? So you learn the techniques. You practice the technique and it becomes master. That's the master portion. And it was learning part. And in Akido, the learning starts always with basics. For example, what's the first thing you learn? Can you tell me what first thing do you learn? Sorry, four. Even before four. The first thing you learn in Akido is how you sit. I'm going to show you. Because there are different ways you need to sit. And how you sit here, you first bend your knee, one left down, and the other one. And in between your knees, there should be two-fifths, okay? And the other way you sit here, you put a right hand on your feet, always opposite here. And the first thing you do when you get a dojo, you bow to each other. And when you bow, you put a left hand in front, right hand close down. So that's the first thing you learn. It's not about martial arts. It's not about how you perform techniques. It's how about you sit down, come down yourself, get your spirit ready before the exercise. And the same thing, how you stand, right? How do you stand in one line? How you balance yourself? How do you make sure you're mobile, but still keep a balance? So the technique is not about how do I destroy this person. The technique is about how do I balance myself so nobody can destroy me. So this is one of the techniques in Akido we call Ikkyo. That's the first lock. And what the first lock does, they have a straight lose behind. How do you move and how do you move the body? So in the way you will start here, right? So someone attacks you, you push your arm forward, you close the body, you're the band. And at the point I want to put here, in the suhari mode, in the su mode, learning mode, there are straight lose behind. This part is for you to learn lose, follow the lose. Less questions, but think about what the teacher tells and follow that. This is important because when you do the Ikkyo here, the distance will be important. You need to push ahead to push the arms. If you go too far, you cannot do that. So that's the one you need to learn and get on with that. After you learn, right, then what's the next step? What do we see so far? Is that only the training, right? So what do we so, so far is not a theory. In Akido, can someone guess what's the percentage? The theory class versus practice class. Is that 50, 50? No one thinks? 20, 20, 80? 10, 90. 10, 90? Good guess. I would say it's about 1%, 99%. So in a way, there's no theorizing. It's not, you come, I tell a theory about Akido. So Akido practice is always start from a demonstration. So the teacher will demo with a senior to your skills. After you learn, then you will practice. It's all about practice. Why do we do that? If you have seen, you have not seen the video, the backward brain bicycle. That's by smart everyday. This is very fantastic video. Talk about behavior. Talk about knowledge. Knowledge is not equal to skills. When you learn some theories, you cannot apply. The same thing, Agile, right? So I go three days training. Does that make I'm a square master? No. You have knowledge, but you need to apply it. Because if you apply a portion, it's always a context. How your team is, how do they react? They tell me how you apply the techniques. And then let's come to four, right? So the gentleman said four. And when you start practice, the first thing you learn and to grow, how to fall. And you fall together. So that's a preparation activity. One preparation activity is you fall. And then you learn how to fall. Because last, large part create a Rachel before you practice. But when you fall, you fall in safe environments. That's what a dojo creates. Well, if you look at here, this is not hierarchical environments, right? So you're self-organized, you're brought to each other, and each one takes care of each other. So when I practice with a pair, I always make sure my partners will not hurt. My first responsibility when practicing gives space to my partners. So he can practice. He can learn while I can still grow my skills. And if you look at the best we're learning, and what's, I think that's different from Akido from a lot of martial arts, right? So if you look at Tagondo, you look at karate, it's a lot about training yourself. But Akido started from beginning, started from white belts. You can always, you always learn from pairs. So besides very, I mean, a small part of preparations, you always say, I practice with you, and you learn the techniques. And why do we do that? Because as a martial arts, you know the environment different. You know your partner different. Whether it's the short, tall, whether it's old or small, you treat your technique differently. And that's the things you cannot learn by just doing it yourself. You do it together. And that's the code from one Akido master, right? Linda's holiday. So in Akido trainings, we learn from each other. We learn from the most experienced people. We also learn from newcomers, right? Everyone is connect and develop much understanding. And it's an important place where it can happen. Same for agile, right? So can we learn from the new people? Yes. They have a new mindset. They have new behaviors, right? So it's not about experience. You create a mix of the learning environments. So as a coach, as agile leaders, it's for you to create an environment so people can learn from each other. And that's the grading system, right? So can someone make a guess? How many years? How many months? How many days? You can go through that. How many people say six months? Can you reach like about six months? One year? Two years? Two years? Okay. Two years can already become agile coach, right? So average takes about four years time. So I'm already in my fifth year, I'm still going through that. But it really takes a long time to practice. And this is not enough. Which you will see here, at the last stage, I practice, I practice, I practice. I become a black bell, right? So am I really a master? Am I really a coach to others? I don't, right? So can I ask you here, how, in terms of agile experience, how many of you have five years and more experience here? Okay, we have quite a few, right? How many of you have 10 years? Can you keep your hands up? How many of you have 10 years experience here? How many of you have 15 years experience here? 20 years? Okay, I think we know about age now. And then you look at here, right? Here's the masters for Makita. And you look at here. So the old sense has 43 years experience practicing. And even before he stuck Akira, he practiced other martial arts as well. And the other one is Christian, he has a master from France. He, I mean, he's still practicing. Until now he has 57 years of practice here. And Philip Lee, see how Philip Lee is, where the dojo I come from, right? So he stopped practicing Akira 70 years old. And after 48 years, he's still practicing and teaching. So think about that, right? So if you call us as agile leaders, if you call us, we are teachers, how many years have we got? And the fact is, why do they are teaching? Because we find some new thing to learn. And if you come back to the previous slide, we talk about black belt is only the beginning. It's not the end. That's where you learn the basic techniques. That's where you can perfect your skills here. And from junior done to first done, every talk about 100 months, you can talk about 9 to 10 years before you move to first done. So normally the instructor coming from, say, second down to first done. So that's the really time to develop your skills, learn all the skills before you can teach. I think we can learn from that as well in agile environments. You need to have a tons experience, deal with different teams before you can share, can teach others. And then let's talk about mindset. There's a Chinese character here. So let's make a guess. Is the mindset really about mind? Is that so? Is that really here? Or is this here? So in Chinese, the mindset translates an attitude of the heart. So it's not really what you think here. It's compared to your heart. How do you feel? So you think of agile principles, right? Does it mean we really go to mind? Or does it really go to heart? And when people act, behave in agile way, is because the mind thinks so? Or is that because they are boldly adjusted to that, they have become their way of working? So I think that's the things we need to really see. How do we touch their heart, not just the mind? How do we make it a habit that can act without thinking? And you look at that, right? So that's a core, right? So educate the mind without educating the heart. Educate the heart is no education at all. Because we want people to feel that, live that. I mean, that's what we want to achieve as agile leaders. And talk about mindset, right? What do you want to get? So that's what we see also from our kiddo as well. One is courage. You have courage to try, you have courage to learn, you have courage to fail before any techniques. So that's the first thing to come. You focus. You always have to focus your arrows. What's your goal? What's our team goal? How do we achieve that? You have a commitment to the setbacks. You don't stop because some failure, some fallbacks. You respect all, respect your teacher, respect student, respect opponents. Treat other people at equal space. I think that's the basic value we can adapt in agile environments. And then you have openness, right? Because our kiddo has no forms. When you go further and further down the road, when you press agile, whether it's a scrum, whether it's combine, whether it's other forms, ultimately, it's what a goal you want to achieve. So you can apply whatever can be applied with a good intention. So that's openness with objective in mind. With that, I would like to open the dojo. If you are brave enough, you are going to practice little bit architole technique here. Can you group yourself, self-organize to a group, say six to ten, so even numbers, either six people, eight people, or ten people? You can either group here or group at the back. You need some space here. And can I invite you for some demonstration? We will do two techniques. Do we have a group? So I need a volunteer, basic techniques. And I already know our kiddo master. So we are going to do an easy one first. I call it X-cape. So basically someone grabs my hand. How do I escape? You want to grab my hand? And he grabs my hand very hard, very, very hard. Not hard enough. So as a good opponent, he grabs my hand, and as instinct, he means what I do. Run away. He grabs harder. But that's the way you see the flow is. So he is grabbing towards that. And where's the gap here? The gap's here. So instead I pull away, he pull in, we just drop here. I run here. So that's a basic technique. You want to try? I will grab your hand. So you will be extending your arms here? So I will lose the balance? It's easier for you to go up. So that's how we practice. I do one wrong, he will do one wrong. Can I try again? So what I do here, if you grab me, so I first extend, then go out. Because when I extend, if he is struggling, he is losing his balance. So that's easier for me to go out. I don't use power. Can you go as a pair and practice? Thank you. Thank you. How do you do it? So you want to grab? In a sense, can I show you? If you grab me, if I come, she will be harder, right? So what I do? Notice there, right? There's a gap here, which is here. So your hand will be... And you don't want to lean back. Because you lean back, you lose balance. So you always keep here, here. And it's like you're touching something on the ground. You see? You're touching something on the ground. The message is the power. So if I have resistance from the team, do I struggle with them, or do I break out? It's a new way. It's a new way, right? Because that's how you do resistance. Yeah, you pull harder, I pull harder, then create more tensions, right? So that's the way to help me as well. Yeah? That would be my second talk. Keep on practicing. Okay, I just checked the other group here. Are you guys okay? Okay, so you're ready for the second techniques? Okay. Sure. So who would be the bad guy? Okay. No, you are okay. So in a way, Akidos, you don't bend your arms. What do you do here? You're facing down, like reaching out to something. Reach out to them, yeah? You see? Okay. Okay, yeah. Congratulations. Okay. Can you keep on practicing? Good. Okay, next one, I need to do a small group. Can we do it together, maybe? So can someone demonstrate with me? Someone have a good insurance? Oh, good insurance? Yeah, I have one cooperating person also. Okay, okay. So I will show two techniques here. So either you can do sitting positions. That's kyokuku. And the other one is a normal, simple one, right? So let's do a simple one first. So can you grab my hand here, please? So you grab it here. That's how we do escape, right? So I can also do... Okay, so I can do... So he's learning here. Okay. Okay, so I do here. So if he is pushing me, right? So I see the direction, right? So right here, I put here. I go down. And he's... Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. So let me do that, right? I didn't learn. I didn't learn. It's always fun. Okay. So in the way it turns, right? In the way it turns. Okay. That's another one. Can we sit down? Okay. So now what I require here... You grab... Can you see that? You probably need to close it. And you want to be here a little bit. Okay. So this technique is talking about inner circle, right? So in a way, when we practice this, it's not about opponents. It's about, can I keep an inner circle here? So Akido is... I have a focus here. This is my focus, okay? So this is my space. So what I'm going to practice is, he will grab my both hands. Okay. Then I'll try to escape, maybe getting down. Okay. So let's see whether I can success with this. Okay. So you're ready, huh? So here... So what you do here... So he's already lose balance. Yeah, that's true. You need to hold my hand. Oh, you need to hold my hand. I also cannot do that. You cannot, because your hand is already here. Yeah, I know. He's a good opponent. He's a good opponent. In a way, he's residing me. In a way, he's residing me. But the other way, he needs to follow me. Because he is my... How do we say that? He is not cooperate with me. So in a way, when I do Akido, because we are working together, we are partners. We even say you are opponents. So of course, you're residing me too. I can learn the techniques here. But you also try to do is follow my flows. So that's how the pair works. So I give a chance to learn. And as we call Uke, receiver side also recognize where I deal with junior, where I deal with senior. If it's juniors, I will get a little bit easier. And I will follow the flows. So that's the way it's not we are fighting. It's not in a way I want to fight with you. But in a way, that's create opportunity to learn together. Okay? Okay? Good. Thank you. You can try. There are two techniques. I try. Why don't you try? So... You can try the Kyoku. So if you grab me, I'll be here. I'll be here. You'll be quite painful. Yeah, if you insist. So when you cut, you almost cut his bell. Yeah. You hold your phone, you cut your bell. Okay? That's fun. Thank you. Thank you. With that, now we talk about edge organization. So we touch a little bit here. But you really can hear, if you look at edge organization, I don't see there's a lot difference here. Because you need to learn the techniques. You need to bring the practices in. What I see a lot of organization in the sumo, they thought they know that they forget the basic formations, they stop practicing. That's why they cannot move on. And a very important part for you to achieve the result you want to have here, is not the technique. Technique is important. But how do you get people buying? That's where the heart, that's where the mind coming together. So with that, I have a call here before I kind of finish the PowerPoint here. So an edge is not really an easy thing to do. So we might receive defeats. But as a warrior, as an edge warrior, we should never be defeated. Any questions? Anyone learn new techniques? How many people will practice? Yeah, thank you.
