Our federation of Original Judo (FIAJ) was celebrating the Kagami Biraki to welcome our beings into this newborn year 2023.
The theme for this important moment was Koshiki No Kata.
During this celebration, we approach this ancient kata as the symbol of the circle of life through an infinite movement.
The apparent stops represent the uncertainty in life where we remain suspended. Tori and Uke are then, floating before the Ukemi in order to feel the pleasant sensation of « No Gravity ».
Life is driven by ongoing momentum. its power is the reflection of our commitment to this life.
Centuries ago, this ancient kata was a tool for warriors. Dr Kano, saw that once the concept of killing is put aside, Uke might represent Tori’s past life and the difficulty to control the inner energy.
Tori, know that this fire has to be tamed in order to be transformed into constructive power.
The Koshiki No Kata, within this approach, can be seen inside the Kime No Kata, Nage No Kata, Ju No Kata, Randori and also within the Shiaï.
Shiaï was a very important part of our ceremony. During this moment, we could clearly feel the impact of studying Koshiki No Kata.
We could feel what type of person we are, with no possibility of hiding our minds.
Seventy-five years ago, our host, Jacques Ellner started judo.
Seventy-five years ago, our host, Jacques Ellner started judo.
Decades ago, he moved away from Sports Judo to join Igor Correa Luna in order to retrieve the Original Judo (Junomichi) created by Dr Kano.
His generosity is a reflection of his longevity in his study of junomuchi
This very important event took place in Epernay in France for 2 days.
On Wednesday the 14th of December 2022, Judo-Junomichi School Scotland, during the class Original Judo and Jujitsu for beginners, we said goodbye to this year with sustained practice and a glass of friendship.
We will celebrate the Kagami Biraki with our federation in Epernay (France) on the 2nd and 3rd of January. During these 2 days, we will have the opportunity to study the essence of Original Judo (Junomichi) and get ready for Randoris and Shiaï by thorough practice of the Juno kata and Koshiki No Kata.
Some representatives of Judo Junomichi School Scotland will be there.
Then back, we will celebrate our Kagami Biraki during the class on Wednesday, 11th January.

The foundations to get the state of mind of a Judo practionner.
DECISION. – How to decide as soon as you step onto the mats.
The mentality of judo practitioners (and why we are not judo players). – Why is opposition only the result of fear and prevents from making a decision in an instant/now?
The decision inside the UKEMIs.
Why is opposition only the result of fear and prevents us from making a decision in the instant/now, for ourselves and then for the partner.
Ju No Kata. The link between Osae Komi Waza and Ju No Kata is to understand and feel the link between Mind and Hara to make decisions without thinking.
Sunday 26th June
During our 7 hours session, we emphasised the research and then feeling of the connexion between the Hara and the Mind to consolidate the decision process with the help of the study of the first 3 actions of Katame No kata and Go No Sen.
