What People Are Saying:

One element that really stuck with me was continuing to lead with center, connect, and move with that connection. I valued using the shoto to demonstrate open hand techniques and feel the extension. As a student, I feel more confident going into an attack with energy and trust in my ukemi. I also notice more spirals in the techniques that help stretch out uke, and the importance of bending my knees and using the ground as a resource, connection point and ally.

As a zoom participant having the Aikidoka being seated during instruction was super helpful, thanks πŸ‘ As I am in Germany during the seminar I had limited time for parts of the seminar. Lia sensei was cool with the absence of the heavy hands often found from ikkyo movement. The drop of the server is a good idea to incorporate... thank you πŸ’• Ikeda Sensei was delightful as always πŸ’• simple, unique and not easy to put in the body, but so worth continuing practice! Thank you for the service you offered to the Aikidoka community!

Suzanne Rudiger, Germany

Thanks again for the wonderful seminar! It was especially interesting to do some things we had done on Zoom during the pandemic lockdowns, now with real partners. I think everybody enjoyed it and hopefully this will be repeated next year.

Thomas Petry, Germany

The dojo where I am training now has a lot of beginners, so I am very focused on how to help them understand the principles behind our techniques, and also to avoid the mistakes I have made myself and have had to unlearn. All of the classes I watched showed practical, inspiring ways to do this. I am grateful to you and the membership of your dojo for all of the work you did to make this event happen. All the best.

Chris Scarpinatto, Brazil

Thank you for the seminar and for offering this possibility to β€œbe there” and learn. I enjoyed how you as the Senseis created a continuum of exploration on the mat, almost taking over where the previous Sensei was teaching, giving insights into elements of shoto, connection and momentum.
