TRANSPARENT POWER di Tatsuo Kimura MAAT Press ISBN 978-1-893447-10-3
Un libro assolutamente appassionante. Scritto da un suo allievo, professore di matematica ma esperto in varie Arti Marziali, narra la vita e la filosofia di Yukiyoshi Sagawa, probabilmente il più avanzato tra gli allievi di Takeda Sokaku, e forse colui che riuscì a far evolvere ancora di più gli insegnamenti del famoso maestro di Aizu.
Per lungo tempo best-seller in Giappone, e finalmente tradotto, un libro che ogni aikidoka, ma anche ogni Budoka dovrebbe leggere e rileggere

l'argomento non e' tra i miei preferiti, pero' ho imparato che quando Ookamiyama consiglia un libro vale la pena di prenderlo a prescindere ;)

Il libro mi interessa, a parte la rottura di doverlo ordinare all'estero....
Beno ne ha fatto un interessante recensione nel suo blog, e anche se in molti l'avranno già letta metto comunque il link per chi non lo avesse fatto:

Un pezzo molto interessante sulla preview del libro disponibile:
“The worst thing to do is to abort a technique because it’s not going as planned. That’s something you can only do if you forget about the importance of winning. Even if you make a mistake, you can’t do it over again in real combat. If you’re human, you’re bound to make mistakes at times. You must follow through to completion. ”
che evidenzia anche un punto di vista molto pratico per un tipo di pratica che può sembrare invece molto lontana dalla realtà.

Veramente un bel libro, ecco alcune frasi di Sagawa sensei ripescate al volo:
Just practicing the form is no use. You must build your body.
The mistake that everyone makes is to assume that martial arts of the past are great and that imitating them is commendable. Back in the past, things like karate and boxing did not exist, so event in Dayto-ryu there were no techniques specifically to fight those forms. Today, you must find way to counter the moves of these and other martial arts.
It’s commendable to preserve what’s good about the old ways. You must, however, discard what’s ineffective and develop you own techniques. Otherwise, there is no evolution, no progress. Without using your own ingenuity, you can’t coax out that witch is truly excellent. To surpass other requires that you put in an effort many time greater. You can’t ever hope to outshine others if you do the same thing everyone else is doing.
You hear stories about people secluding themselves on a mountaintop to train in martial arts. That’s fruitless without studying how to move against human beings. Animal and people are different. It doesn’t do you any good to imitate animals. You must study and analyze with human anatomy in mind.
di cui vi risparmio la mia pessima traduzione, tanto è un inglese semplice.
Nel libro un sacco di altre citazioni sorprendenti e interessanti, devo rivedere la mia idea di "tradizionale".
