Aikido Columns “It Had to Be Felt” dari Aikiweb
Dimulai dari tulisan ini, saya
akan mencoba menerjemahkan kolom–kolom “It
Had to Be Felt” dari website www.aikiweb.com
yang dipelopori oleh Ellis Amdur (seorang praktisi beberapa macam budo dan beladiri cina). Kemudian atas
permintaan beliau atau atas keinginan tiap-tiap kontributor, semakin banyak yang
berkontribusi dalam kolom tersebut.
Kolom–kolom tersebut mendeskripsikan
pengalaman pribadi tiap-tiap praktisi saat mengalami secara langsung menjadi uke (taking
ukemi) dari para tokoh aikido.
Menurut ucapan Ellis Amdur secara langsung : “ I would like to be part of something that, collectively, is … for
some time, even decades, the aikido community will have a resource in which
people can, for example, look up and read what it was like to grab Tada Hiroshi
or Kuroiwa Yoshio, all these wonderful teachers who are now gone, or whom you
will perhaps have no chance to meet. There were giants on the earth in earlier
days – perhaps we can, at least, get a felt sense of what it was like to work
directly with them through people’s memories”
