What is Aslando?
Aslando literally means “lion’s path” (Do = path), the strongest animal in the land. Technically speaking, it is a Turkish martial art and defense art, not only for feet or hands, but also for learning all the necessary techniques, including various techniques from other martial arts. Aslando is also taught specifically to security forces and special operations units.
50% kicking is used and 50% striking. Aslando has naturally become a realistic, fast, practical, effective martial and defensive art by using logic based on intelligent thinking and removing everything unnecessary from the mind. As a system, Aslando consists of principles, not monotonous movements. The student of Aslando learns not to use unnecessary force, not to stand in the way of his opponent’s power, to use the power exerted on him to his own advantage, to fight not only against one person but also against many people at the same time, to be fluid and comfortable. It ensures harmony of body and soul. Techniques that are repeated many times become reflexive. At Aslando, the concepts of truth, kindness, patience, love, and respect are taught during the educational process. It develops the athlete’s intelligence and gives them the ability to act independently. It gives the human body vitality and agility. This develops feelings of self-confidence, self-control, and concentration. People learn to behave correctly and wisely when fighting an opponent. Aslando training is a training method that leads to success with practical intelligence, gives spirit and normal strength, and also improves concentration. Character development, strengthening of willpower and learning ability, and tolerant behavior are taught. The most important factor that distinguishes Aslando from others is that it works with sensitive points in the human body. Aslando is generally performed without the use of weapons. However, Aslando also offers training in the use of any object that you can see and hold as a weapon. A special self-defense system has been developed against all types of armed and unarmed attacks. Regardless of body anatomy, anyone who wants to study Aslando can find a place for themselves in this system.
Aslando is not a force-based martial art. Its essence arose from the desire to defend oneself against much stronger opponents. You can rent your opponent’s attack and add your own force to it and reflect it back at the opponent. It is clearly about neutralizing the opponent with their own energy. It means neutralizing the opponent by taking advantage of their momentary surprise, by nullifying the opponent’s movements and predictions. Of course, it uses scientific logic based on intelligent thinking, discarding everything unnecessary while trying to provide its students with a safe environment in which to develop. Aslando, which is the way of protection and defense, is a mental and physical training exercise that aims to maximize technical, tactical, mental, psychological, speed, endurance, strength/power, flexibility, and agility development while minimizing injuries.
When we look at violent events, from beatings to the most horrific murders, it has the content to prove itself without reason. However, Aslandocu only defends himself and does not try to prove himself, as he is trained to neutralize the opponent. The proof is the sports degree he has for him. He never uses the decisive blows that an Aslando player knows in a street fight. It even takes a few light blows if necessary.
Practice movements and discipline, which we call cultural physics, can be difficult for beginners. If there were no “Do” philosophy, people with aggressive feelings and thoughts would use the techniques they have learned on others when they encounter something they don’t want in their daily lives, and they would make irreversible and even irreparable mistakes and become a bomb that would explode. Sometimes the meaningless “Do” is really important. Aslando is a martial art with hands and feet, but it is also a physical and mental motivation. Aslando is an art, and its ultimate goal is not to win; it aims to mature people’s morals and character.
Aslando is practiced barefoot and in a special uniform. In Aslando, as in many other martial and combat arts originating in the Far East, belts tied to the clothing are used to indicate experience and mastery.
Belts: At the beginning, every Liondoctor receives a white belt. Aslando players who have gained experience in training and competitions over time are subjected to certain tests and skip generations. This changes the color of the generations. These generations are, in order: ………………… in colors. To make sorting easier, there is an intermediate band between the two bands.
The black belt is the highest belt. But there are also grades of black belt. These are 1st Dan (San), 2nd Dan (San), 3rd Dan (San), 4th Dan (San), 5th Dan (San), 6th Dan (San), 7th Dan (San), 8th Dan (San), 9th Dan (San), and 10th Dan (San). There is a certain waiting period between each Dan (San) grade. This period is as long as the Dan (San) grade. For example: Someone with 4th Dan (San) must wait 4 years to pass 5th Dan (San) and then take an exam.
An athlete must reach the age of 16 to become a black belt. If they are not yet old enough, they can receive a toy belt instead of a black belt. The grades of the toy generation are 1st toy, 2nd toy, and 3rd toy.
One generation exam takes place every 4 months, and those who pass move on to the next generation. It is also possible to advance by skipping intermediate generations after success.
The highest level in Aslando is the black belt, a teaching qualification. After that, the promotions called “Dan (San)” are passed.
The work of ASLANDO consists of several parts.
1. Training (basic technical rules, cultural physics, basic technical work, manual work, partner work)
2. Competition
3. It is folding.
Technical terms and titles are in Turkish. It is an excellent and logical system for defending and protecting oneself on the street against the increasing number of muggings. It is a system that anyone between the ages of 7 and 70 can easily apply and use against the events they encounter inside and outside the hall. Exercises and discipline can of course be difficult for a beginner. However, with hard work and discipline, the result can be achieved. To be successful, the student must be patient and resilient. It contributes significantly to the self-confidence of children who start early and to the development of a culture of respect in society within the framework of the hall rules. Respect and discipline are the most important qualities an athlete must have.
Aslando begins with kindness and tolerance and ends with kindness and tolerance.
Aslandocu always grows up to be fair, impartial, tolerant, just, and useful to society.
