    Aikido Kenkyuukai

    Picture
    Aiki is love. Budo is the path of the warrior.  Combined with the spirit of heaven and earth in your heart, you can fulfill your life's destiny with unconditional love for everything.

    Morehei Ushiba O' sensei (founder of Aikido) quoted : To injure and opponent is to injure yourself.  To control aggression without inflicting injury is Aikido.

    Aikido movement maintains the firm and stable center with and emphasis an spherical rotation characterized by flowing, circular, dance-like motions.   These pivoting, entering and circling motions are used to control and overcome the opponent.  The principle of spherical rotation makes it possible to defend oneself from an opponent of superior size, strength and experience.

    Origami

    Picture
    Origami is an ancient Japanese art of folding paper.  The word origami comes from two Japanese words, ori, which means to fold, and kami, which means paper.  Origami has become increasing popular over the past few decades and has spread to North America, Europe and other places around the world.

    In general, the designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints.  Traditional Japanese origami which has been practices since the Edo era (1603 - 1867), has often been strictly by folding paper.  There is no cutting or gluing.

    In the early 1900's, Origami was began creating and recording origami works and a number of innovations inspired a renaissance of the art form. During the 1980's a number of folders started systematically studying the mathematical properties of folded forms, which led to a steady increase in the complexity of origami models.   Nowadays, Origami has been evolved to many types such as Modular Origami, Pureland Origami, Origami Tessellations, and Mathematics and Technical Origami.

    Japnese Language Festival (JLfest)

    Picture
    Every year, JLSM organizes this festival aims at enhancing the understanding and appreciation among Japanese language learners on the culture and language of the people of Japan by providing them an interactive and experiential Japanese-speaking opportunity and environment whereby classroom language learning is brought into the real world of the learners.  It also welcomes the participation of the non-learners to have a taste of the language and culture of Japan.

    In 2011, we made the festival better and more meaningful as well as to reach out to more Japanese language learners and non-learners.  The festival scored many "Firsts" such as the first time for online Registration of the festival and online Booking of cultural workshops;  Malaysia's first ever Japanese Choral Speaking Competition at the Festival; First special workshop for teachers to gain additional ideas on how to use movies as an effective teaching tool.

    JLfest 2011 was wrapped up with wonderful experiences and all participants were enjoy the festival very much.
