Ia mempunyai ketertarikan yang tinggi terhadap seni, Ueshiba cenderung lebih suka belajar dan membaca buku di rumah dan ia bercita-cita pada suatu hari kelak ia ingin menjadi seorang pendeta budha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masa Remaja&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada tahun 1901, ketika &lt;em&gt;Morihei Ueshiba&lt;/em&gt; berusia 18 tahun, ia pernah mencoba untuk berdagang peralatan kantor di Tokyo tapi tidak berjalan mulus, kemudian ia mempergunakan waktu luangnya selama tinggal di Tokyo untuk belajar beberapa seni bela diri. Ia belajar Jujutsu aliran Tenjin Shinyo-ryu dibawah asuhan Tokusaburo Tozawa. Ia juga sempat belajar ilmu pedang aliran Shinkage-ryu di dojo Idabashi. Pada waktu terserang penyakit hati, akhirnya, Ia memutuskan untuk pulang ke Tanabe. Di sana Ia menikahi &lt;em&gt;Itogawa Hatsu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Pada saat pertikaian antara Jepang dan Rusia (1904-1905), Ueshiba memutuskan untuk bergabung dengan wajib militer angkatan perang Jepang. Pada awalnya ia ditolak dalam dinas ketentaraan ini namun setelah berlatih dengan keras akhirnya Ia berhasil diterima pada angkatan perang Jepang pada tahun 1903 ditempatkan di pasukan infanteri. Ia terkenal sebagai pemain bayonet yang handal dalam resimennya bahkan dapat menghindari peluru yang ditembakan ke arah dirinya. Namun saat direkomendasikan bergabung dengan dinas militer Jepang secara tetap, ia menolak dan selama empat tahun kemudian Ia ditempatkan di Osaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Menjadi Ahli Beladiri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Morihei Ueshiba memperoleh Menkyo, sertifikat mengajar bela diri, dari guru bela diri Jujutsu aliran Yagyu-ryu di Osaka, yakni &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makasatsu Nakai&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Kemudian setelah selesai masa pengabdiannya pada wajib militer, Ueshiba pulang ke Tanabe untuk hidup bersama keluarganya. Karena kecintaannya pada Ueshiba, Yoroku bunda Ueshiba mengundang seorang guru Jujutsu terkenal, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Takaki Kiyoichi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, dan membuatkan dojo untuk Ueshiba. Pada saat pembukaan lahan tak bertuan di Hokaido, Ueshiba bersama istrinya berangkat ke Hokkaido untuk memimpin sekelompok transmigran pada tahun 1912. Ueshiba dengan kelompoknya ditempatkan di Shirataki, sebuah sektor di utara Hokkaido. Hokkaido sendiri merupakan momen yang paling penting dalam sejarah Aikido. Di sinilah Ueshiba bertemu dengan &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sokaku Takeda&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, guru bela diri Jujutsu aliran Daito-ryu yang dikenal dengan gaya Aikijutsu, yang dikemudian hari menjadi fondasi utama &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Aikido&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16544278-114372279311189084?l=the-martial-arts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/feeds/114372279311189084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16544278&amp;postID=114372279311189084' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/114372279311189084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/114372279311189084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/2006/03/o-sensei-morihei-ueshiba.html' title='O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba'/><author><name>yandi w. rusyandi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15476502834222147868</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5199/2009/1600/yr-2.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16544278.post-113621363439379787</id><published>2006-01-02T21:47:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2006-03-30T18:44:31.086+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Arti Osu / Meaning of Osu</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4322/1573/1600/osu-Kanji.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4322/1573/400/osu-Kanji.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Osu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is written using the kanji for Push and Suffer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There is another theory to the origins of this word, and it is supported by the way the Japanese write “Osu!” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The first kanji is the Japanese verb osu which means push. It is a common word, used in the same way as when you say “Push the door open” or “Push my car because it broke down.” The second kanji is the Japanese verb shinobu which means endure or hide. The expression is a contraction of these two words together. This creates several possibilities for the original meaning of the expression.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Push and Suffer. “Osu!” could be an expression that means you should persevere under harsh conditions. That would be a very Japanese and military sort of meaning for it, and since the history of Shotokan is rooted somewhat in the militaristic period in Japan’s history, that would be a plausible meaning.&lt;br /&gt;Push and Hide. It could mean that you exert yourself and do not show it. That is also a very Japanese concept. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16544278-113621363439379787?l=the-martial-arts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/feeds/113621363439379787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16544278&amp;postID=113621363439379787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/113621363439379787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/113621363439379787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/2006/01/arti-osu-meaning-of-osu_02.html' title='Arti Osu / Meaning of Osu'/><author><name>yandi w. rusyandi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15476502834222147868</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5199/2009/1600/yr-2.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16544278.post-112627550803576574</id><published>2005-09-09T21:14:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-03-30T19:04:25.926+07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Concept of Aikido</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4322/1573/1600/OSENSEI_S_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4322/1573/320/OSENSEI_S_.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffffcc;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;O  Sensei Morihei Ueshiba&lt;/strong&gt; (1883 - 1969) - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;The Founder of AIKIDO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4322/1573/1600/OSENSEI_S_.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;With the unification of technique, body, and heart, a pure budo comes into being. The kind of budo which will manifest itself does not depend upon the technique, but rather, upon the heart of the practitioner. The aim of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Aikido&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, to align itself with this kind of budo, shows itself within kind of heart. Here are some thoughts on the spirit of aikido. &lt;em&gt;Aiki is love&lt;/em&gt;. With the heart of the heaven and the earth, become your heart. To embody the broad spirit of unconditional love for everything and to fulfill your life destiny, you must walk the path of the warrior -- budo. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Aiki&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; means to skillfully strike down and to deny the ego and the inherent insincerity in battling an enemy. Aiki is the path of imperative absolution and enlightenment; the martial techniques are the embodiment of the discipline and journey of uniting the spirit and the body and channeling the laws of heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16544278-112627550803576574?l=the-martial-arts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/feeds/112627550803576574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16544278&amp;postID=112627550803576574' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/112627550803576574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16544278/posts/default/112627550803576574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-martial-arts.blogspot.com/2005/09/concept-of-aikido.html' title='The Concept of Aikido'/><author><name>yandi w. rusyandi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15476502834222147868</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5199/2009/1600/yr-2.1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
