#A# Aikido"$Jap%"The Way of Harmony in the Spirit. ! Created by Morihei Uyeshiba, Aikido is considered a 'soft& art, as the basic concept is to go with an opponent. ! Originally derived from Daito Ryu Aiki Jitsu, the techniques of Aikido were chosen more for their 'spiritual& content than their useful" ness. This resulted in a loss of data which resulted in Aikido becoming both mystical and impractical. ! Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" $book%"Westbrook & Ratti. ! This is the best book on Aikido ever written. The artwork is abso" lutely stunning in that it reveals the purity of intention necessar y to Aikido. Al Case ! Born May 27, 1948, Al is the originator of the Matrixing concepts. Al Case Martial Arts ! A logical compilation of the martial arts. angulation ! The introduction of a slight an" gle to a technique, usually through a slight sidestep. This changes all the angles of the technique, thus giving the advantage to the defender.

! While this concept is inherent in many arts, it is speci#c to Monkey Boxing. armbar ! A technique wherein the straight arm is levered. If the at" tacker bends the elbow it will trans" late into an elbow roll, or an inver" sion thereof. arm pounding !blocking" ! Toughening exercises in which the partners bash their forearms to" gether to create better blocks. augment ! The action of the rear arm to support a block by pointing towards the elbow of the front arm. axilla ! The armpit $ referring to the nerves therein%. axilla punch !

In Pa Kua Chang, stepping backward on the circle. The normal preference is to step forward, but one must be prepared for anything. back stance ! Grounding occurring on the rear leg. backwarditus ! The tendency of a beginner to do everything backward, that is, if the technique calls for a right arm, he uses the left, and so on. While some" times frustrating, this is a good thing, it means the beginner has sur" mounted the fact of having a #fty/ #fty chance of being right and is ac" tually initiating an action. ! The cure for a person $at any stage % unable to stop manifesting backwarditus is to have him do the ' mistake. & Having been given free reign to do a 'mistake,& the student will then be able to do the called for technique correctly. ! BAP"basic arm positions.

! The 'basic arm positions& that enable the student to develop an 'un" bendable& arm. ! There are four BAPs: low, mid" dle, high, and circular, which can form ten combinations.

With the commercialization of the art, however, belts began to be awarded according to one&s ability to #ght, as opposed to spiritual devel" opment.

! Eventually callow young fellows would even fray the edges of their belts with razors to deliberately age them, thus giving themselves addi" tional 'years& in the art. Belts would even be sold for mere dollars. ! In Al Case Martial Arts belts are awarded for ability. A black belt is awarded solely on the basis of one&s ability to execute techniques with CBM. block ! A ridge of energy manifested through the bones and thrust away from the body $as opposed to a parry, which retracts towards the body and guides the attack%. block walk !
