Yanagi

Gestern war ein großer Tag für Yanagi: Bei 2 Vorführungen und an unserem Stand auf dem Nachbarschaftsfest Schöneberg konnten wir große und kleine Berliner*innen vom Jutaijutsu begeistern und später auf der Qu**rz durften wir q***ren Jugendlichen einige Selbstverteidigungs-Skills vermitteln. Danke an und **rzberlin für diese tollen Initiativen!! Wir freuen uns, Teil von einem offenen, diversen Berlin zu sein 💜🌈🥷

Our Ikigai workshop last weekend had many great discussions and inputs, along with some martial arts action stuff. Great fun and learnings all around

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that describes finding your purpose in life. We want to experience and learn about this concept through a martial arts lens together. In a one-day workshop, we will explore the

5 key principles of Ikigai:

-starting small,
- being in the here and now,
- harmony & sustainability,
- the joy of little things and
- accepting yourself.

By translating these ideas into bodily movement, we want to give you some tools you can use in your everyday life for finding your Ikigai. At the same time, we’ll give you a sense of how our martial art, Jutaijutsu, encompasses and uses Ikigai principles on a regular basis.

This workshop is beginner-friendly and anyone can join. You do not need prior martial arts experience or a certain level of fitness. All genders are welcome.

Ikigai ist ein japanisches Konzept, das die Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens beschreibt. Wir wollen dieses Konzept gemeinsam aus der Kampfkunst-Perspektive erleben und kennenlernen.

In einem **eintägigen Workshop** werden wir gemeinsam die fünf Schlüsselprinzipien des Ikigai erforschen:

**Die fünf Schlüsselprinzipien**

- klein anfangen, im Hier und Jetzt sein,
- Harmonie und Nachhaltigkeit,
- die Freude an kleinen Dingen und
- sich selbst akzeptieren.

Indem wir diese Ideen in körperliche Bewegung übersetzen, wollen wir Euch einige Werkzeuge a die Hand geben, die Ihr in Eurem Alltag nutzen könnt, um Euer Ikigai zu finden. Gleichzeitig geben wir Euch einen Eindruck davon, wie unsere Kampfkunst, das Jutaijutsu, die Ikigai-Prinzipien umfasst und regelmäßig anwendet.

Dieser Workshop ist **anfängerfreundlich** und jeder kann mitmachen. Ihr braucht keine Vorkenntnisse im Kampfsport oder ein bestimmtes Maß an Fitness. Alle Gender sind willkommen.

Recently, we have been told by a Japan-related event in Berlin we had been performing at for several years that we will no longer be included in their program because we are „not 100% traditional“. We think this is deeply unfortunate given that 1) nobody really knows what „traditional“ actually means, 2) this criticism emanated from another martial arts school that started performing at this event and the organisers went along with their request to exclude us, and 3) the Sensei of our school of origin in Turin, Italy, has been awarded the Order of the Rising Sun by the Japanese government in 2018 for his life’s work of promoting Japanese culture, specifically in the form of our martial art, .
This incident illustrates that „authenticity“ and „tradition“ are deeply contested terms that unfortunately are often weaponised in the community. You can read more on the subject in our blog post at the link in bio.
