英文及日文關於大東流合氣柔術的相關討論其實不少,但中文資源卻極為欠缺,相關討論多半都是合氣道練習者想像中的觀點,過去我們台灣大東流的練習者只專注於學習技術,一方面很多細節難以系統化描述,另一方面是覺得跟門外人講述並無助益,但鑒於太多相關技術論述與我們所知差太遠,攀親帶故、穿鑿附會的論述更多。
因此,我們決定分享知識,在眾說紛紜之下,貢獻小小的心力,希望在大東流合氣柔術這個複雜的體系中,留下我們的足跡跟紀錄,不要在時代演化之下逐漸凋零消亡。
此動畫跟大東流並無關聯性,只是示意簡單物理學在複雜系統中,可以表現出從外形觀察跟實際上運作截然不同的現象,每個點都是直線運動,但整體系統及質心卻進行圓形運動
This animation is not related to Daito-ryu; it merely illustrates how simple physics can produce phenomena in complex systems where appearance and actual operation are completely different. Each point moves in a straight line, but the entire system and its center of mass move in a circular trajectory.
Reason:
There is actually a considerable amount of discussion in English and Japanese regarding Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, but Chinese-language resources are extremely scarce. Most related discussions tend to come from the imagined perspectives of Aikido practitioners. In the past, practitioners of Daito-ryu in Taiwan focused solely on learning techniques. On one hand, many details are difficult to describe systematically; on the other hand, we felt that explaining them to outsiders was of little benefit. However, given that too many technical discourses diverge significantly from what we know, and there are even more far-fetched claims or forced associations, we have decided to share our knowledge. Amidst the myriad of opinions, we hope to contribute a small effort, leaving our mark and record in the complex system of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, so that it does not gradually wither and fade away with the evolution of time.
