Non competitive movement art

Created by Master Masamichi Noro, a close disciple of Me Ueshiba, Kinomichi is a subtle and dynamic body practice that is practiced with one or more partners. Not oriented towards competition or physical prowess, it induces a progressive improvement in knowledge of oneself and one’s body in a permanent game with sensations, the expressiveness of movements and, above all, the relationship with others. Me Noro often evoked the idea of ​​contact: that which one can establish with oneself, but also with the other, the partner and the world. The beginner is invited to explore his motor and tonic potential, through an infinity of preparatory movements or performed in pairs. Little by little, the mastery of the gesture develops, as well as its rhythm, its power and its fluidity. The most advanced will move towards greater motor and tonic ease which, through repetition, will allow movements to be performed with greater ease and pleasure.
