12か国から約90名の門下生が集まり、8月9日から15日まで、日本武道館勝浦研修センターにおいて恒例の「勝浦国際合宿セミナー」を開催しました。

今年の夏は例年になく涼しく、大変過ごしやすい気候に恵まれました。大きなけがや病人もなく、まさに稽古に集中できる理想的な環境となり、例年にないほど順調に日程を進めることができました。

ところが、13日から14日にかけて、千葉県では記録的な大雨に見舞われました。勝浦研修センター自体には被害はありませんでしたが、周辺地域では多くの被害が発生しました。外房線は運休し、東金有料道路も通行不能となるなど、勝浦周辺の交通網が遮断される事態となりました。

終了日の15日には帰国便を予定している外国人参加者も多く、外国人を含む約90名全員をどのように東京方面へ移動させるかが大きな課題となりました。また、研修センターには次の利用予約が入っていたため、延泊することもできない状況でした。

そこで、臼山副本部長を中心に実行委員会を開き、刻々と変化する状況について的確な情報収集を行い、最善と思われる対応策を検討しました。幸いにもバスをチャーターすることができ、最終的に約90名全員が無事に研修センターを出発することができました。

予期せぬ困難に直面した際、状況に応じて自らを変化させ、困難を乗り越えていくこともまた武道であるとするならば、今回の出来事は、まさに武道の実践力を試す貴重な機会となりました。通常の稽古だけでは学ぶことのできない、いわば臨戦の場における良い稽古になったものと自負しております。

多くの参加者を無事に送り出し、それぞれの国へ帰国していただくことができたことは、私たちにとって大きな心の成果となりました。その意味においても、今回の勝浦国際合宿セミナーは大変実りあるものとなりました。

一方、予定されていた「第67回 大東流合気柔術国際演武大会」が中止となったことは、誠に残念でなりません。

The annual Katsuura International Training Seminar was held from August 9 to 15 at the Nippon Budokan Katsuura Training Center, bringing together approximately 90 students from 12 countries.

This summer was unusually cool compared with previous years, providing very comfortable conditions for the seminar. There were no serious injuries or illnesses, allowing everyone to concentrate fully on training. The entire program proceeded exceptionally smoothly, making this one of the most favorable seminars we have experienced in many years.

However, from August 13 to 14, Chiba Prefecture was struck by record-breaking heavy rainfall. Although the Katsuura Training Center itself suffered no damage, many surrounding areas were seriously affected. The Sotobo Line suspended operations, the Togane Toll Road became impassable, and transportation routes in and around Katsuura were effectively cut off.

Many of our overseas participants had flights scheduled for August 15, the final day of the seminar. We therefore faced the major challenge of finding a way to transport all approximately 90 participants, including our international guests, back toward Tokyo. Furthermore, as the Training Center was already reserved for another group immediately after our seminar, extending our stay was not an option.

An organizing committee, led by Deputy Headmaster Usuyama, immediately began gathering accurate and up-to-date information and discussing the best possible course of action under the circumstances. Fortunately, we succeeded in chartering a bus, and all approximately 90 participants were able to leave the Training Center safely.

If budo is also about adapting ourselves to unexpected difficulties and overcoming changing circumstances, then this experience provided us with a valuable opportunity to put the practical spirit of budo to the test. In a sense, it became a form of real-world training that could never have been experienced through ordinary practice alone.

The fact that we were able to see all of our participants safely on their way and ultimately return them to their respective countries was, for us, an achievement of great significance and spirit. In this respect as well, the 2026 Katsuura International Training Seminar proved to be a truly fruitful and meaningful event.

At the same time, it was deeply regrettable that the scheduled 67th Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu International Demonstration had to be cancelled.

Once again this year, we were honored to present an enbu (demonstration of martial arts) as an offering at the Mitama Matsuri of Yasukuni Shrine.

With profound gratitude and heartfelt respect, we offered our demonstration before the spirits of the more than 2,466,000 men and women who gave their precious lives for the peace and security of Japan. It is both a great honor and a deeply humbling experience to be permitted to dedicate our martial art in their memory.

Our mission is to cultivate, through the practice of budo, individuals who will contribute to the peace and well-being of Japan today and for generations to come. This dedication performance renewed our determination to continue training diligently, devoting ourselves to this mission with sincerity and perseverance.

Demonstrators: Hidenori Usuyama, Junichi Kono, Koma Ajioka, Roman Aleksiv
