Download or read book Reflections on Aikido written by Don Dickie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 was the year in which George Floyd was killed and COVID-19 struck the world. In May, demonstrations raged and then COVID lockdowns just barely smothered the flames, leaving the embers red hot amongst the dry tinder of society’s privilege. Against this backdrop, Aikido, the Way of Peace, faltered, with systemic racism and physical distancing eviscerating the ability to practice within the confines of a dojo. This book will remind Aikidokas of O Sensei’s original teachings. Aikido is more than physical technique that applauds athleticism and crowd appeal. There is a dimension of personal and societal development hidden in O Sensei’s lectures and dokas. O Sensei’s vision of Aikido went beyond technique, beyond white privilege and beyond a COVID pandemic. Selected quotes from The Heart of Aikido and The Secret Teachings of Aikido appear at the beginning of each chapter, followed by poems that explore O Sensei’s underlying intent and meaning. This book will help Aikidokas of all levels to get in touch with O Sensei’s vision to help society to build a more peaceful world.
Download or read book Family and Friends Along the Way written by Don Dickie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my story. About a gay guy born and raised in suburban Toronto. It is about being different and about the struggle to discover and recognize my gayness in a society that shunned and targeted gay youth and men. But it is not just about struggle and pain. It is also about the good things in life that help to create a family full of fun, love and companionship. Throughout my almost seventy years of life, I have worn many different faces: corporate executive, husband, father, brother, martial artist, Buddhist, artist and poet. I met an extraordinary lesbian and together we formed a family with a young son more than 30 years ago, long before gay families made the headlines. I found the love of life and have celebrated more than 25 years of married life together. And I experienced the losses and grief that everyone experiences as loved ones pass and illness raises its head. My story is my own and it is different. And it holds much of what is the same for everyone else.
Download or read book Silent Winds of Aikido written by Don Dickie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘Silent Winds’ refers to the stillness and internal silence at the centre of all Aikido techniques. The silence is infused with awareness – awareness of the space surrounding you, awareness of the internal landscape of thoughts and emotions, and awareness of the technique you are performing. This silence nurtures the intuition that guides the choices you make with respect to technique and movement in general. The stillness and silence of Aikido allow techniques to flow seamlessly and effortlessly as intuitive choices replace the slower process of conceptual thought. However, the need for awareness and intuition in martial arts relies on the basic martial principles that form the foundation of the physical practice. Appropriate distance, alignment and timing of strikes are critical. If there are no credible strikes then the need for awareness of what is happening in the space surrounding the nage diminishes, as does the need for internal awareness of thoughts or emotions. Without the threat of a sudden strike, there is no need to make a split-second intuitive choice. This book is about the silent skill sets that translate from the mats to our life off the mats. It is these skills that are important to building a more peaceful world. Rather than technique, the focus is on ‘how’ we practice. How we develop awareness of the space that surrounds us and find stillness in the waterfall of thoughts and emotions that cascade through our heads while we practice. How we create new techniques in response to changing conditions and how the use of intuition can guide our practice and our interaction with people in our daily lives.
Download or read book Right or Left written by Don Dickie and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morihei Ueshiba founded the martial art Aikido, believing that the combination of mental and physical training would allow Aikido practitioners to make a difference in their lives. With time, that difference, born out of activity and stillness, would ripple outwards to bring about a more peaceful world. O Sensei left us with many lectures, poems, and calligraphy guiding not only the physical practice but the mental practice of Aikido in the pursuit of unifying body and mind. Despite this, many Aikido instructors and students focus solely on the physical training aspect. This book is not only an introduction to O Sensei’s words and wisdom but to Don Dickie’s interpretation of those guiding principles as an accomplished practitioner and teacher of Aikido. This manual is an essential resource—borne of lived experience and years of observation—that will help Aikido practitioners of all ages and levels deepen and evolve their practice. Divided into three parts, it explores the physical, mental, and practical dimensions of Aikido: part one looks at common pitfalls and misconceptions in the physical training; part two provides instruction in meditation and how to integrate it into the physical technique practice; and part three examines how to experience mind-body unity and bring the benefits of that practice into the practitioners’ daily lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hari Suman Naik takes the perspective of modular systems and investigates how to enable non-expert users to innovate and design, by simplifying toolkit solution space. New production technologies like digital fabrication and modular electronics along with appropriate toolkits can offer users a significant design flexibility to innovate solutions that meet their heterogeneous and sticky needs. The author contributes towards understanding and designing toolkit solution space, first using qualitative studies to explore mechanisms for simplifying the use and structure of toolkit solution space, and then using a design study of an innovative toolkit. The findings are relevant to innovation and product managers eager to incorporate user ideas with toolkits.
Download or read book Process Improvement Simplified written by James B. King and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2014-03-29 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Improvement Simplified is written for leaders and managers of organizations or enterprises who: Are struggling with their organization’s success Are not satisfied with the current state Are striving to be number one Have heard about the negatives or positives of process improvement (PI) but have never implemented it But PI is not a panacea; it takes leadership commitment and involvement, plus organizational behavior modification so that PI becomes a disciplined way of life. It entails hard work through dealing with nitty-gritty details. PI is not just a problem-solving methodology or another quality control tool. In fact, it is not a quality improvement tool like statistical process control or Six Sigma. It is a systematic approach to focus, measure, and redesign a critical process of any organization in order to reduce waste and achieve breakthrough improvement for that process. In this approach, personnel from other functions within the organization will be involved to ensure that the needs of customers and suppliers of the process are correctly reflected and supported. This is a how-to book with simple examples. A step-by-step method of implementing PI is presented using the example of running a restaurant business.

Download or read book The Analysis of Variance written by Hardeo Sahai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of variance (ANOYA) models have become one of the most widely used tools of modern statistics for analyzing multifactor data. The ANOYA models provide versatile statistical tools for studying the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The ANOYA mod els are employed to determine whether different variables interact and which factors or factor combinations are most important. They are appealing because they provide a conceptually simple technique for investigating statistical rela tionships among different independent variables known as factors. Currently there are several texts and monographs available on the sub ject. However, some of them such as those of Scheffe (1959) and Fisher and McDonald (1978), are written for mathematically advanced readers, requiring a good background in calculus, matrix algebra, and statistical theory; whereas others such as Guenther (1964), Huitson (1971), and Dunn and Clark (1987), although they assume only a background in elementary algebra and statistics, treat the subject somewhat scantily and provide only a superficial discussion of the random and mixed effects analysis of variance.
