Philippe Orban SENSEI

6. Dan Aikikai Tokio

Philippe Orban was born in Nancy (France) in 1962. He has been practising aikido since he was eighteen. After he had taken his ‚Baccalauréat' (A Levels), he studied management at university and passed his degree in management and sports.

At the age of twenty-five he decided to change his life in favour of aikido and at that time became second DAN AIKIDO. He went to Paris where he practised Aikido as uchi dechi, under the instruction of Sensei Christian Tissier, who is seven DAN AIKIKAI and who had been his teacher for many years.

From 1988 until 1996 not only did he practise aikido daily, but also ken jutsu (Japanese fencing) and aiki jo (Japanese teaching of stick fighting). He obtained his third DAN in 1989 and his fourth in 1992.

Because he has always been curious and willing to make new experiences, he took to practising Thai-boxing, Judo and Brasilian-jujutsu. In 1996 four years after he had been Christian Tissier's assitant in Paris, he decided, in agreement with his teacher to open a school of aikido in his own rights.

A couple of months later, in November 1996, he inaugurated the Fudoshin Dojo in Leipzig, which is his own Japanese school of martial arts: aikido, ken jutsu and aiki jo. In January 2000, during one the courses he had organised for his teacher, the latter awarded him his fifth DAN AIKIDO TOKIO.
 
Philippe Orban:Ma Conception de l´Aikido
 
L´Aikido Naturel est une prise de conscience.
Il ne repose pas sur l´apprentissage de la technique, mais se comprend par une volonté à s´exercer:
 
• à retrouver ses instincts naturels de défense
• à une respiration profonde et naturelle
• au " principe de vie " : effectivité, équilibre et santé
• à une connaissance précise du corps et de sa biomécanique
• à une comprehension profonde du temps et de l´espace, ainsi que des lois physiques universelles
• à dépasser le paradoxe des contraires: état d´action et de non action, mobilité et immobilité, tension et relachement, dureté et souplesse etc.
• à Etre
 
La technique n´est plus un but ou un moyen, mais est l´expression effective du corps et de l´esprit.

  L´Aikido ne s´appuie pas sur une méthodologie ou une pédagogie particulière qui annihileraient l´instinct et l´esprit créatif, mais au contraire donne la liberté à s´y exercer.
