Let us check in early something that we were grateful for because we were very tired after our transatlantic flight.
I was coming from the train station (montparnass) and departing from the train station the next day.. I needed a place that was close to the train and easy to drop my bags and hit the ground running. This was a seven minute walk from the train station, and they allowed me early check in to drop my bags. I think they would have kept the bags if they didn't have my room available. Definitely recommend. The room was quite small, and the bed seemed smaller than a double bed, but it was just me so not a problem. There is AC and good WiFi.
Had a very amazing time, the metro, and food locations were very close by. The view from our room was great. Everything in the hotel and room were great to see in detailed. Would recommend to stay, will stay there again next time in city.
Second time we have stayed here and enjoyed it both times. Staff is helpful and the surrounding area feels like a local neighborhood with plenty of places to eat or enjoy a drink. Metro is a block away. Rooms are a bit small so don't expect to hang out there.

Jessica Jones reread
Jessica Jones is My Hero
Tansy Rayner Roberts
Mon Nov 16, 2015 10:30am 2 comments Favorite This
This post originally appeared on my blog in July 2015 when I first started getting excited about the upcoming Jessica Jones TV series, but it also works as a coda to the Alias Reread posts, covering Jessica's appearances in comics after the original run on Alias ended. This post contains spoilers for Alias, and therefore might spoil the upcoming Jessica Jones TV show if it follows any of the same storylines. Who can say?
So, I'm pretty excited about the upcoming Netflix series of Jessica Jones. Everything I hear about it suggests that it's a solid adaptation of the brilliant, highly original Alias comic that allows Jessica to be the angry, flawed character that she is. And they're doing a scene where Luke Cage is on fire (actually showing off his powers!), so that's pretty great. I'm cranky that so much of the publicity is pairing images of Krysten Ritter with comic-art-Jessica-as-Jewel rather than comic-art-Jessica-as-Humphrey-Bogart but I have confidence that doesn't reflect the priorities of the show.
Jessica Jones is a hard drinking, chain-smoking, angry private detective who delves into the darker, murkier side of the Marvel Universe. She's a classic noir hero with a 21st century edge, and it's amazingly empowering to see a female character who's just—so—well, flawed and mean and grumpy.
Grumpy female characters are my favourite thing.
She's also a former cheesy superhero, who defines herself by having walked away from that life. Her social ties, friends and former friends and people-who-hate-me-now are mostly connected to the Avengers in some way.
After Alias ended, Jessica took on the role of superhero reporter in The Pulse (written by her creator, Brian Michael Bendis), in order to work through her pregnancy in a (slightly) less dangerous job. Her relationship with Luke Cage then brought her to the New Avengers title (also written by Bendis) despite her being a non-combatant and it's there that I became even more attached to Jessica.
She is fantastic as a grumpy noir detective, but I like her even more as a new mother struggling with the expectations and needs of that very uncomfortable role. I love it when fiction acknowledges that pregnancy and childbirth don't automatically make you inhale the Perfect Mother Handbook and that a lot of the basic work required of early parenthood is less than romantic or fun.
Jessica pointing out to Luke that she doesn't magically have any better idea what to do with a baby than he does simply because she's a woman is one of many, many great scenes between the two of them.
One of the biggest, most anticipated coming events in the mighty, apparently-unstoppable Marvel Cinematic Universe is that the next Captain America movie is going to cover the Civil War storyline. Fans of the MCU are preparing themselves for Cap/Bucky feels, and Cap/Tony feels, and being outraged at favourite characters acting wildly out of character because of political violence and betrayal, which is pretty much what happened in the comics.
Fans have also been side-eyeing the long list of actors/characters appearing in that overstuffed movie. I've read fan critiques on how there are too many characters for one movie, and how there aren't nearly enough to get across the epic nature of it, and is there going to be enough Cap/Bucky with everything else going on? I've heard analysis about why the story won't work with or without Spider-Man, or why we won't be seeing The Wasp in costume, or how everyone's really worried that Chris Evans might not have signed up for enough movies and maybe they're going to kill off Captain America…
I'm thinking about Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Because for me, while the central Civil War storyline was indeed terrible and relied too heavily on superheroes being awful to each other because Tony Stark told them to, the comic that I felt dealt with the emotional and professional fallout most effectively was New Avengers, and the pivotal characters were not Captain America or Spider-Man or Iron Man.
For me, it was all about Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
The central conceit of Civil War is that a Superhero Registration Act is brought in, demanding that all costumed vigilantes (and crucially all people with superpowers regardless of their vigilante status) register their legal identities with the US government. The superhero community falls into two sides—that of 'law and order and paternalistic safety' led by Tony Stark (Iron Man), and that of 'freedom, privacy and fuck directly off' led by Steve Rogers (Captain America).
The problem with the story is that the pro-registration side is impossible to sympathise with. The government does not merely demand that all superheroes give up their names and other private information into a database (which is in itself made of suck but vaguely defensible). They require that every registered superhero/costumed vigilante work for them, arresting friends and colleagues and doing anything else that the US government requires of them.
Registering means signing up to be a government-controlled weapon with no freedom to quit, to look for employment elsewhere, or to make your own ethical choices as to how your powers are utilised.
Bendis' New Avengers came into its own as a comic during and after Civil War, ostensibly because it was "Cap's team" but in reality because of the Luke and Jessica story. Parents of a new baby, neither of them want to register, and so they end up living as criminals on the run from their own government and some of their closest friends. They both have strong political and personal reasons not to register—Jessica quit costumed vigilantism years earlier, and just had a FREAKING BABY. She doesn't want to (a) be a superhero under any conditions, (b) be forced into employment as a superpowered government enforcer, or (c) trust her government to decide whether there is a maternity leave option.
Both of them struggle with life on the run from the Registration Act, and the constant guilt at the situation for their baby daughter, at the danger and the risk. But what I love most about this story is that we are shown all the awkward parts of the constant negotiation—how Luke and Jessica feel differently about the political vs. personal, and how they bring different baggage to the situation. Luke's political idealism vs. Jessica's pragmatism causes tension—Jessica's role as primary caretaker of their baby compared to Luke's relative freedom of movement takes a toll on their relationship as her energy levels falter and eventually crash. Oh and Jessica's best friend, Carol Danvers, is the poster woman for government compliance during the Civil War storyline, so their friendship is strained as well.
There is no easy or right choice Jessica and Luke can make to keep their family safe, or to stay out of the fight, which make their agonies all the more credible. In one crucial scene, Luke Cage is arrested for breaking the law by being an unregistered superhero while buying baby formula. Parenting during a political apocalypse is hard work, y'all. Three destroyed safe houses later, Jessica cracks and yells at her judgmental, conservative mother, pointing out that she knows they are raising Dani under awful conditions, but that they have never had any better options. They're doing the best with what they can, and that's such a powerful message to see.
Being both white and completely outside any US cultural context, I'm not the best person to analyse the racial implications and tensions of Luke Cage's role in the post-Civil War fallout (though I would love to read any analysis others have done on this topic) but it's hard to miss the visual imagery of Luke Cage as a large, physically intimidating black man with superpowers, being treated as a public criminal by the authorities for trying to protect his family in non-violent ways. His rage and frustration with the situation is an important through-line of New Avengers, and he has so much more at stake than the various white superheroes who are generally talked about as the main characters in the Marvel Universe.
We're not going to see any of this in the Captain America movie. Which is a shame, because the central core of the Civil War storyline featuring the 'big hitter' famous dudes in the comics was the least interesting and least effective part of it. (We're also not going to see Sue Storm walk out on her husband and children because she's tired of being on the wrong side of history.) But I'll be interested to see if the movie 'event' filters into the TV series that follow. Less so with Agents of SHIELD—because Civil War in the comics basically gave us a year or two in which all SHIELD agents were suddenly hugely unsympathetic assholes with a really creepy fascist agenda yes even Black Widow—and certainly not for Season 1 of Jessica Jones which will be out well in advance of Captain America 3, but for the Netflix original series to come next year, and the year after. Daredevil Season 1 showed the economic hardships that the poorer corners of New York City were still suffering years after the destruction caused in the original Avengers movie. Perhaps we'll get Jessica Jones vs. Civil War in a year or two…
Superhero comics are normally not the medium to find interesting, nuanced stories of early parenthood. But New Avengers gave me that. Jessica Jones is my hero because it feels marvellously subversive and exciting to read about an un-romanticised female noir detective. She is my hero because she brings sarcasm and crankiness and pragmatism where ever she goes, all essential survival traits in a superhero universe. She is my hero because she stood up and said that being a superhero is a terrible job (knowing when to quit is in itself a superpower).
Jessica Jones is my superhero because she represents one of the most realistic depictions I've seen in pop culture of a woman dealing with with new motherhood and all the weird identity-shifting mental gymnastics that comes with that job when it's never something you really imagined for yourself (or even if it was).
Stay cranky, Jessica! I'll be watching.

THE BROKEN HEARTS GALLERY – Review by Sherin Nicole
September 10, 2020 September 10, 2020 Sherin Nicole 0 Comments Broken Hearts Gallery, Dacre Montgomery, Geraldine viswanathan, Molly Gordon, Natalie Krinsky, Phillipa Soo, rom com
The Broken Hearts Gallery has an adorable set up. We meet three best friends, in a high school bedroom, sorting through the remains of a dead relationship. The banter is witty and fresh. The actresses, Geraldine Viswanathan, Phillipa Soo, and Molly Gordon, sparkle. And the premise is inventive—built on a young woman who memorializes relationships via quirky keepsakes: retainers, used Solo cups, doorknobs, neckties, and a collection of chachkies that would impress several grandmas.
How can you not smile? You will and you'll smile frequently. Viswanathan is Lucy Gulliver, a New York gallery assistant who is on the verge of something. Perhaps it's a great career. Maybe a big failure or a dreamy romance. It could be a bad breakup or a complete breakdown. No matter how life happens to Lucy or in what order; you'll know it's going to be hilarious.
Let's begin with a combination of breakup and breakdown, and subsequently unemployment. Sounds like the perfect time for a rom-com meet-cute. We get exactly that in the back of a Lyft that's not a Lyft, where a drunken Lucy meets a stressed out Nick (Dacre Montgomery). Nick is an entrepreneur who's building his own boutique hotel with very little money but a lot of help from his friends. Once these two collide they keep bumping heads until they finally put them together to create the Broken Hearts Gallery of the title.
Writer/director, Natalie Krinsky sets this movie up so well. While dealing with the psychology of love on multiple levels and how difficult it is to let go, Krinsky still maintains a steady stream of giggles (and good music). Soo's Nadine and Gordon's Amanda each have their own love woes, which gives them more shape than the typical best friend shaped blobs in many rom-coms. Viswanathan as an emotional hoarder and ultimate awkward heroine is made for center stage. I would watch her in anything. The dialog between the three is deadly observant, as are their interactions with the world. This is what it's like to be brainy, artsy, and single in the city right now—if life were a comedy.
Funnier, still is the fact the women are central here. This is a romantic comedy that is all about women and their growth. Cameos from Bernadette Peters (yes, more please) and Sheila McCarthy reinforce this vibrance. The men, however, are like the Lyft in the meet-cute—shiny vehicles to get the women from one place to another. Which, I'll admit, I'm okay with.
Yet, as adorable as The Broken Hearts Gallery is, it's not quite satisfying. The jokes are perfectly placed but they don't enhance your connection to the story. The characters are vividly drawn but they remain at a distance and the gap doesn't quite close. The movie feels like window shopping but never getting to wear anything home. I'd rather these characters stayed with me longer.
In the end, there's so much to like here but love is another story.

I've set myself a new reading challenge. Instead of focusing on reading as many books as possible, I now focus on capturing as many insights as possible from each book. That means, reading slower and taking notes while I'm reading.
And then I thought, if I'm already taking notes, I might as well share them with you :) So I'm starting a new series of blog posts called "What I'm Reading".
This is the first post is my new series 'What I'm Reading' where I share key insights and interesting facts from books I'm reading. More about What I'm Reading here.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck was recommended to me by a really good friend. She spoke about it so passionately that it jumped right to the top of my reading list – and I'm glad it did.

Big Trouble in Little China Remake In The Works - Starring "The Rock"
Thread starter Steven Bogos
Steven Bogos
The Taco Man
Kurt Russel and John Carpenter's masterpiece Big Trouble in Little China is reportedly getting a remake.
Big Trouble in Little China has the reputation of being the movie that made legendary filmmaker John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York) so disillusioned with the industry, he stopped making Hollywood movies. Despite its massive commercial failure, the film went on to become a cult classic, and now, Hollywood is finally looking to cash in on that with a remake staring everyone's favorite pro-wrestler-cum-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Variety [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dwayne-johnson-talks-star-big-799296] are both reporting that Johnson is in late-stage negotiations to star in the movie, most likely filling Kurt Russell's old shoes as trucker-cum-sorcerer-slayer Jack Burton.
The film, which is being produced by 20th Century Fox, has Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz at its helm - the good folks behind the sci-fi hits Thor and X-Men: First Class.
For a quick refresher, Big Trouble in Little China follows Russel's Burton as he stumbles into a generations-old battle between the forces of good and the 2,000-year old evil sorcerer: Lo Pan. With a strong comedic focus, Big Trouble in Little China broke a lot of 80's action movie stereotypes by having a main "hero" who wasn't completely infallible and invincible. Jack Burton was just a regular guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What do you guys think of this? While I am a big fan of The Rock and his work, Big Trouble in Little China is just one of those movies that you don't mess with.

I like Dwayne Johnson... but you don't touch this movie. It's not even good because of nostalgia... it's just good. It's an interesting fun to watch movie that has much better acting than a lot of action oriented movies of the era had.
Captcha: question everything... this is making me do that.

There are not enough words in the English language to properly convey how much I dislike the remake and my feelings in general.
I would probably summon Cthulhu by accident if I tried.
This is one movie you don't touch. This is one of the movies that typified the 80s, and you just leave it the hell alone. It's still an awesome movie and I really don't understand why someone has to touch it again.
Pinky's Brain
Regardless of how unnecessary this is ... how is this movie even supposed to be made in the current environment?
Big trouble in Little China is like Starship Troopers ... it doesn't matter how over the top you do the racism and militarism, you'll still get called a racist or a fascist and I don't see current Hollywood just taking that in stride. They'll probably devote half the movie to explaining how wrong it all is.
Hairless Mammoth
Seriously, no. Not this one. I've even scared they'll change Lo Pan, because his design might be "offensive."
They'll just find anything from the 80s to try and make a quick buck on. There's always been a trend for TV and Hollywood to go back 30 years and pull ideas from the past, because that's when the writers and some of the target demographic were kids. Although, it seems like they've kicked it into high gear in the past few years. I can't wait for 5-8 years to pass and movies with titles like "Goosebumps" or something else from the 90s to pop up.

Because Hollywood has completely run out of originality at this point and is desperately grasping for anything they haven't made a reboot from a reboot of yet.
flying_whimsy
I am totally game for a remake: the originally didn't hold up well when it was made, let alone now. The Rock is a good casting choice, too. Although it would be kind of funny to see an old Kurt Russell playing the part again.
The movie that really smashed the infallible action man stereotype was Die Hard. Kind of funny considering that's basically what he is now.
That sounds like a horrendous idea. Nothing in that movie would translate well to modern film.
DoctorM
I always wanted a sequel, but please not this... ever.
OverEZ
At least it's not Vin Diesel?
Jaeger_CDN
In the immortal words of Egg Shen "You leave Jack Burton alone!"
I know John Carpenter meant to make a sequel to the movie but please not a remake
the December King
I personally would not like to see a remake, for tons of reasons, but the first one to pop into my head is that I can't really picture 'The Rock' pulling off the 'regular-joe-come-hero' bit. He looks too much like a guy who kicks people's asses.
FogHornG36
I like the idea of seeing guys trying to karate kick the rock only for them to bounce up like he was made of actual rock.

Really, really, bad idea, there is no reason to remake this movie at all, it's awesome just the way it is, there is nothing they could do but create an inferior version of it.
John Carpenter has done some great stuff over the years, and there are a few movies I think could benefit from being remade. Top among them is probably "Prince Of Darkness" simply because I think the original version failed because it went over too many people's heads at the time, and I think movie goers have become a lot more familiar with those kinds of concepts. What's more I think it could actually benefit from some better special FX. Another movie he did that I think could stand a remake is "Ghosts Of Mars" that's another one that flopped but it had some awesome concepts in it, not even a just-then-starting Jason Statham could save that one, I could see an update being a good thing there as now we can do things that just weren't possible at the time, and what's more the population has geeked out enough for a concept like that to get a better reception. "Big Trouble In Little China" ... that's just perfect though, it did what it set out to do perfectly, and what's more while I can see modern Hollywood re-doing some of the horror movies above, I do not think the current liberal Hollywood could touch this one without ruining everything that makes it great. Nowadays people in Hollywood would probably insist it's racist or something, when really the Chinese action cinema makes comedy-action movies in a similar style themselves, Jackie Chan having made a career out of doing goofy movies both here and overseas for example, ironically we'd probably take the subject matter more seriously than the Chinese would, and let's face it, this is not a movie that is supposed to be taken seriously on any level, it's an ongoing mockery of action movie tropes making fun of the old school "Western Tough Guy" at the same time it's engaging in a weird combination of mocking and worship of old school Kung-Fu movies.
I wouldn't even want to see the current version of Lo Pan, Hollywood is so PC that it couldn't even give us a proper Mandarin in Iron Man.... and no offense, I was deeply disappointed by that. I mean we replaced a badrse super scientist with 10 "magic" rings that has come close to conquering the world through sheer might with a washed up actor fronting for a bad guy based on a deeply butchered version of Extremis.... If they can't do "The Mandarin" they aren't going to be able to capture what makes Lo Pan amusing... or understand it's as much worship of the quintessential martial arts movie mystic bad guy as it is a mockery as the movie mocks everything in it.

The whole point of Jack Burton is that he's just some random schmuck way over his head and for the most part, completely ineffectual as an action protagonist. He gets by more on his luck and the help from those around him rather than his own competency. Casting the Rock just seems like a bad idea.
MarsAtlas said:
At least then the film wouldn't get made.
God I hope so.
At the very least make the people in charge forget about what they're going to do. Drive them insane so that every time they think about doing this remake they scream in terror and crawl in a dark room.
Why no, I'm not being unreasonable. >.>
FalloutJack
Bah weep grah nah neep ninny bom
I'm not going for it. We don't mess with Kurt Russell, dammit.
Neonsilver
Isn't this a so bad it's good kind of movie? Is it even possible to create this kind of movie intentional?

Treaty banning nuclear weapons to enter into force
United Nations, United States, Oct 24 – An international treaty banning nuclear weapons has been ratified by a 50th country, the UN said, allowing the "historic" text to enter into force after 90 days.
While nuclear powers have not signed up to the treaty, activists who have pushed for its enactment hold out hope that it will nonetheless prove to be more than symbolic and have a gradual deterrent effect.
Honduras became the 50th country to ratify.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it "the culmination of a worldwide movement to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons," according to a statement from his spokesman on Saturday.
"It represents a meaningful commitment towards the total elimination of nuclear weapons, which remains the highest disarmament priority of the United Nations."
NGOs also welcomed the news, including the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a coalition that won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize for its key role in bringing the treaty to fruition.
"Honduras just ratified the Treaty as the 50th state, triggering entry into force and making history," ICAN said in a tweet.
Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said in a statement: "Today is a victory for humanity, and a promise of a safer future."
The 75th anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, marked in August, saw a wave of countries ratify the treaty, which will now to enter into force on January 22, 2021, the UN said.
– 'A new chapter' –
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons — which bans the use, development, production, testing, stationing, stockpiling and threat of use of such weapons — was adopted by the UN General Assembly in July 2017 with the approval of 122 countries.
Eighty-four states have since signed it, though not all have ratified the text.
The clutch of nuclear-armed states, including the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia, have not signed the treaty.
Japan, the only country to have been attacked with atomic weapons, ruled out any immediate plans to sign.
"We can't help but question the effectiveness of the treaty, which nuclear powers can't join," Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi told reporters on Sunday.
But atom bomb survivor Sunao Tsuboi told public broadcaster NHK: "We have no doubt that it is a great step toward materialising the ban and abolition of nuclear weapons.
"We really want the Japanese government to join the treaty in consideration of the wish of atomic bomb survivors."
Campaigners hope that it coming into force will have the same impact as previous international treaties on landmines and cluster munitions, bringing a stigma to their stockpiling and use, and thereby a change in behavior even in countries that did not sign up.
ICAN said it expects "companies to stop producing nuclear weapons and financial institutions to stop investing in nuclear weapon producing companies."
The coalition's executive director Beatrice Fihn called it "a new chapter for nuclear disarmament."
"Decades of activism have achieved what many said was impossible: nuclear weapons are banned."
Nuclear-armed states argue their arsenals serve as a deterrent and say they remain committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which seeks to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
Separately, Russia and the United States have been seeking to break an impasse in long-running talks aimed at extending a nuclear arms deal between them.
The two sides have struggled to find common ground over the fate of the New START treaty, which limits both sides to 1,550 deployed warheads but is due to expire next February.
While the US wants to rework the deal to include China and cover new kinds of weapons, Russia is willing to extend the agreement for five years without any new conditions — and each side has repeatedly shot down the other's proposals.
The agreement was signed in 2010 at the peak of hopes for a "reset" in relations between the two countries.
Together with the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, it was considered a centerpiece of international arms control.
However, the United States withdrew from the INF last year after accusing Moscow of violations.

Everyone loves turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Well, unless you're vegan, but you can still have a tofu turkey.
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey in Hillside makes sure that anyone who wants a real turkey or turkey meal, even if they cannot afford it, will have it for the holiday or around this time of the year.
Last week, for the second year in a row, the organization dropped off 1,120 frozen turkeys and 248 roasters in the parking lot of Old Bergen Church at Highland and Bergen avenues in Jersey City. Sixteen churches, schools and community organizations sent representatives to pick up their number and bring them to all corners of the city.
On the brisk November morning, Carlea Sturdivant, the CFBNJ's agency relations manager, was excited to disburse so many turkeys.
"I like that I am making a difference in someone's life who may not know what is their next meal," said Sturdivant, 40, on the job for 10 years.
This outreach was only one small part of the group's statewide distribution. Each year it distributes 57 million pounds of food feeding 900,000 people in the state, she added.
Allen Webb, warehouse assistant, and Calimo Castaneda, driver, unloaded the huge Jersey City delivery within 30 minutes and just in time for the reps arriving with their SUVs and pickups.
They were scheduled to come incrementally so that all could be picked up within 90 minutes.
The reps were surprised to find a half dozen Jersey City police officers ready to help with the cold, heavy lifting. Capt. Edward Nestor, commander of the West District, assigned the officers to meet with the reps because he believes "it's better to work together and show support."
Joanne Grosh, customer engagement specialist for the CFBNJ, knows the people running the participating agencies and programs. They hug like old friends as she did with the Franciscan sisters from St. Elizabeth's Child Care program below Journal Square.
Jean Jackson, a trustee from Mt. Olive Baptist Church, requested eight cases of roasters for the senior citizens at his church. They're much more manageable for older people living alone, he said.
Also getting his share, Old Bergen's pastor, the Rev. Jon Brown, was proud to be the catalyst for so much food distribution.
"This makes real the concept of giving thanks for the gifts we have and the community we share," said Brown, who has revived the oldest church in the state, giving it new life. "Despite all the challenges we face, we are stronger as a community."

There is a current "debate" as to the value/need for weapon training in Aikido and its importance. Our dojo follows the training curriculum from O'sensei's personal dojo in Iwama, Japan as laid out by his longest serving student, the late Morihiro Saito Sensei, and as taught and continued by Saito's student, Saburo Takayasu Sensei, 7th dan shihan.
The practice with the bokken (wooden sword) and Jo (wooden staff) is integral to our practice of Aikido as passed on by the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba. If you watch this video, you will hear Stanley Pranin, the editor of Aikido Journal, and a long time Aikido practitioner and researcher, explain why.
There is a tradition in Iwama that whenever someone who trained there for any significant length of time goes back home, a sayonara party is held for him (or her).
A part of the tradition is to treat the person to a sayonara nikkyo, in which two people apply nikkyo to his wrists so that he can't tap out. Of course, care is taken to make sure that he is not actually injured.
Some people say that I invented the sayonara nikkyo. I don't clearly remember, but it's probable that in its basic form it existed before I set foot in Iwama.
But I did invent a humorous twist to it. At one party I was observing someone enjoying their sayonara nikkyo and, on impulse, picked up a bottle of Suntory Red whisky (the official dojo drink which we called "Iwama nectar"), and poured some into the recipient's mouth. Everyone thought it was very funny, and it caught on and became part of the ritual.
How much better can it get; receiving refreshing stimulation to both wrists while enjoying delicious Iwama nectar?
I first went to Iwama to study in 1980. It was at my own sayonara party at the function centre on Mt. Otago that Saito Sensei personally selected David to be one of the executors of my "double-nikkyo" – I still remember it – fondly!
Here is a later photo (from 2000) recoding the practice in Iwama with Hitohiro Saito Sensei (right), Kenichi Shibata Shihan (left) and with Miles Kessler skilfully handling the genuine Suntory Red whisky bottle.
The practice of nikkyo still holds an important place in my dojo.
I first went to Iwama and met Saito-sensei in the spring of 1972. I was training at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo at the time, and heard stories about this "outdoor dojo" in Iwama and a legendary sensei named Saito who was teaching the classes there.
Saito-sensei was scheduled to teach Sunday morning classes at Hombu, and I went every Sunday in hopes of meeting him. But he never came. So, it seemed that I had to go to him. My wife and I went to Iwama and ended up in the six mat room at the entrance to the dojo. Saito-sensei and a few other people were training.
After a while Saito-sensei came over to us and asked if I wanted to train. I said yes. He asked if I had a uniform. I said no. He said "Wait a minute". He went to his house and brought back an old uniform. I put it on and bowed into the class.
My first training partner turned out to be the resident monster whose name was Shigemi Inagaki. The first technique was shiho-nage. The first time he threw me, he did it so hard that I hit my head on the mat and was knocked out for several seconds. When I woke up, I thought to myself, "This is what I've been looking for".
We stayed for several days in Iwama, and slept in O-Sensei's old storeroom next to the dojo (which was subsequently demolished to build the current "red room"). It was a very interesting place, filled with books and old charts of Kotodama symbols that O-Sensei used in his lectures.
We wanted to move to Iwama as soon as possible, but there was no housing for us. I commuted to Iwama from Tokyo a number of times over the summer and participated in numerous gasshuku (seminars) with university students and other groups. Particularly challenging was one with Isoyama-sensei and his students from the Air Self-Defense Force base at Iruma. Saito-sensei finally arranged to have a house built for us, and we moved to Iwama in the Fall. We ended up staying for about 10 years.
Also known as Kihon (basic) it is what builds the foundation of tai-sabaki (body movement) and kokyu-rokyu (abdominal breath power).
Like bamboo bending in the wind,the Yawarakai level emphasises the principle of awase and requires the defender to give in resiliently to deflect the attack in a direction that he can merge into the movement and take control. Yawarakai technique is intermediate between Katai and Ki-no-nagare.
In Ki-no-nagare technique, the defender does not wait for the attacker to obtain a grip, but begins merging into the attacker's movement before contact is made.
Saito-Sensei explained in his book, Traditional Aikido Vol. 5, on page 36 that: "Aikido is generally believed to represent circular movements. Contrary to such belief, however, Aikido, in its true Ki form, is a fierce art piercing straight through the center of opposition".
For Alexander Sensei's full article see Levels of Technique in Aikido Training.
"After training under a good teacher for several years, it is possible to develop "Kokyu ryoku" (loosely translated as "abdominal breath power").
"Most trainees do not get Kokyu, especially if they omit "Katai" (rigid) training and practice "Ki no Nagare" (flowing style) exclusively. If many of them are grabbed with strong power, they can't even move. On the contrary, in Iwama in the 70's, getting Kokyu was almost a given.
For someone with good, clean technique and Kokyu Ryoku, he or she is able to perform a technique effortlessly against a strong person who is resisting with full power. This is real Aikido, and would make O-Sensei proud.
So, this is my definition of elegance in technique; "Effortless against full power".
For more of Alexander Sensei's interesting anecdotes, see Iwama wisdom.
Some years ago, when struggling to gain insight into how to powerfully perform morote dori kokyu nage (the basic form practised at the start of every keiko) I cam across an article by Koichi Tohei in Aikido Journal (Vol. 24, No. 2 1997).
"In 1940, Mr. Shohei Mori introduced me to Ueshiba Sensei and I became his student. I was terribly impressed with the way Ueshiba Sensei would throw people without any strength at all. I went to the dojo for every practice, but I found that I couldn't even measure up to the high school students who were training there. After a while, however, I noticed that whenever I came to aikido practice completely exhausted after a session at the Ichikukai, nobody could move me. I also noticed that when I threw people while in that exhausted state, they would really go flying. These two phenomena made me realize that the trick was to let go of strength. On the other hand, Ueshiba Sensei was always telling us to use strength in the techniques. So I experimented in various ways with both using strength and then letting it drop away, then using it again and so on. … At that point I realised that relaxation was an important key, although I also noticed that there were things that I could not do simply by relaxing. I felt that the reason must be something I was doing wrong. … When I returned from the war, I found that whereas Ueshiba Sensei could throw me very easily, other people's techniques were completely ineffective. There was obviously some difference between the two applications of technique. Others said that it was simply that Ueshiba Sensei had 'the strength and skill of a thousand men,' but I wondered if it were really true that despite both of us being human, Sensei could do and I could not do. … It was around that time that I discovered Tempu Nakamura Sensei. He taught me that 'the mind leads the body'. The mind is the upstream and the body is the downstream. If the upstream is muddy, so will be the downstream. From Nakamura I learnt that unification of mind and body is possible through purifying the mind and allowing it to influence the body. I had already experienced this on the battlefield, but I had not connected that experience with this principle. I think the same can be said of aikido. Looking back on what Ueshiba Sensei did, it is clear that he would apply his techniques only after leading his opponent's mind. By contrast, we were all trying to lead our opponents' bodies, and then trying to figure out how to throw them. Naturally they would resist and become impossible to throw.
Aikido is difficult to learn – the path is long and winding. As with many endeavours one constantly struggles with levels of understanding. Each achievement leads to further questioning and uncertainty.
Don't be square, be hip!
When entering or turning which move first, the hips or the feet?
The movement of the head determines the movement of both hands.
Both O'Sensei and Saito Sensei emphasise the importance of initiating our moves with the hip. Not only do we start with hip rotation but we finish with a hip thrust. Do not lead with the feet but with the hip.
Students often say, "why is it important to do the technique 'precisely' surely everyone is different – we can do it in our own way", or particularly for westerens "near-enough is good enough".
There is a saying that the slightest deviation renders a technique renders a technique ineffective. There is no need to conduct basic exercises with undue speed. Care should be taken not to leave out the cardinal points of the exercises and form a peculiar habit as a result of too hurried an approach. You are advised to follow faithfully the "Kuden" (Secrets of Aikido orally bequeathed by the Founder), which casts light on these cardinal points.
AJ: The precision needed for blending is a valuable point.
"Saito : Anyone can blend in a general sense, but one should begin with more specific forms which will ultimately expand to the universal harmony the founder spoke of. First you learn how to blend with your partner "toe to toe ," then how to pivot on your front foot. When you know how to pivot properly you will be able to execute an urawaza technique. One cannot express these things verbally; they can only be mastered by training. The founder said, "Practice comes first." It is not that your partner blends with you, but that you should blend with him in everything: "Move, open, then take the lead. " This is what O-Sensei taught Saito Sensei.
A mistake of one centimeter could make it impossible to execute a technique successfully. You can't change the technique willy-nilly to suit yourself. There is a definite way to do each technique. Anyone, not just the physically strong, should be able to apply the techniques. Unfortunately, people neglect tai no henko. I can tell by watching people practice tai no henko and morotedori kokyuho what kind of practice they have been doing at their dojos. I do not need to see more. I think all the basics of the founder's taijutsu are contained in these two techniques and ikkyo.
It is hard to find anyone who is able to execute a perfect ikkyo technique. I know this may sound insolent, but I think you cannot understand aikido without starting properly from these techniques.
Why sweat the small stuff – because it matters!
In 1974 Saito Sensei wrote in his forward to Volume 3 of his book Traditional Aikido Sword Stick and Body Arts that he had quoted "the words bequeathed by Founder Morihei Ueshiba which represent the heart of techniques".
Sensei Derek Minus has asked that these secret oral teachings or Kudan be recorded for those students without access to these invaluable books. First published in 1974 by Minato Research & Publishing Company, Tokyo, the cited page numbers will be from the 12th printing, July 1981.
Saito Sensei in expressing this Kudan would say, lower the kata (shoulder), hiji (elbow), koshi (hip) and kimochi (spirit).
Saito Sensei next considers the basic forms of Ikkyo through to Gokyo.
Saito Sensei then gives the kudan for the standing forms.
This, he explains, is the way to meet your partner"s force. Thus a large step by your partner should be equalized by a small step from you. If this needs further clarity he has given us the belief of O Sensei that, "True Budo knows of no opponent nor an enemy. True Budo aims to form a wholly integrated entity". (p.21 vol 3).
Saito sensei gives a reminder that your hands must stay in your centre – in front of your navel.

The Secret to the Perfect Career Path
August 31, 2015 The Washington Center
In this installment of TWC's Alumni Spotlight Series, Roxane Schneider '10 explains that finding the perfect career path sometimes starts with taking an imperfect job opportunity.
Last month, an alumna sought assistance in a job search by reaching out to fellow TWC alums on our LinkedIn community. Someone responded to her post with a potential lead, but the alumna said: "Seems like an incredible place to work, but none of those jobs fit my skills."
Roxane Schneider '10 probably felt that way for a moment before she accepted an administrative assistant position at the Financial Services Roundtable (FSR). They extended the offer to her just after her TWC internship with the company ended. After all, her undergraduate degree in political science and mass communication screamed "political PR strategist," not "financial risk management expert."
"I took the job because it offered broad enough opportunities that exposed me to various areas of expertise across the company," Schneider said. "I had no idea where it might lead but knew there was potential for growth."
After just five years in the financial services industry, Schneider recently became FSR's director of fraud risk. She regularly interacts with senior executives of America's top 100 financially related institutions. Yet it's definitely not something she envisioned for herself in 2010.
"I took advantage of something that met my interest and turned out to better suit my skills than government relations," she said. "I took a risk, and I ended up with a great career opportunity."
Here's her advice for looking beyond the job description when finding that first - or new - job:
1. Evaluate your skills: Think back to your TWC assessments and skills tests. What are you good at? What do you enjoy? A good career coach or mentor can help, too.
2. Look beyond your major: Give yourself a broad spectrum of professional-field options. Rather than focus on the job title, look at keywords and skills on postings and match them to your strengths and interests. Subject-matter expertise develops over time if you're motivated, productive and have the basic skills.
3. Apply, apply, apply: Ante up even for things you don't think you're qualified for! When you interview with an employer, you give off a different vibe from what you seem like on paper. You never know what a hiring manager will see when he or she meets you in person.
4. Know when to stay or go: Once you've got the job, pay attention to your leadership. Does the organization you work for have a good goal-setting and review process? Are you progressing at the end of each year? If after two years you see yourself stagnating, think about making a move elsewhere.
Schneider writes about financial security and frequently shares posts in our TWC Alumni LinkedIn Community. Join the group today to get access to this helpful information!
