Dror, Lloyd and Geoff test for Dai Ni – Yoshinkan Aikido Senshusei. |
|
On Thursday, 3 August 2006 the 16th international Senshusei tested for Dai Ni, the second phase of the course. It was called Dai Ni for a reason – it quite literally led to 'die knees' with all the suwari waza (techniques performed kneeling). We were all very glad when this stage of the course was over. In this video Dror, Lloyd and Geoff (with the assistance of Graham Sewanin) take their test.
Arguably one of the toughest martial arts courses in the world and described as 11 months of hell, the international Yoshinkan Aikido Senshusei course is the subject of the book – Suck It Up Or Go Home – A True Story About The Courage To Stand Up, Keep Going And Never Give In! The book charts the author's early life from being bullied at school to the Muay Thai ring and to Tokyo, Japan. More than just a book on martial arts, it contains life lessons on courage, discipline and the determination to keep going, no matter what.
