Annual Open-Air Bukiwaza Workshop. 27 July 2025

This year's workshop was dedicated to Aiki-ken techniques and held especially close to our hearts, as it coincided with the 75th birthday of Nemoto Sensei . In recognition of his contribution to Aikido, we began the workshop with a special focus on material he carefully compiled and practised. 🔹 Ken Sōhō (剣操法 – Sword Manipulations) We began with Ken Sōhō—sword handling exercises carefully compiled by Nemoto Sensei based on how Saitō Sensei taught and demonstrated them. This series does not assign individual names to each movement; it exists as a whole to explore the variety and depth of Ken manipulations , aiming to capture the spirit and precision of the Iwama tradition. 🔹 Kumitachi & Henka Nigeki The second part of the workshop focused on the  First Kumitachi  and its  Henka Nigeki  variations, in which the final movement of the Kumitachi sequence is intentionally changed. We examined how these changes affect timing, distance, and positioning, using an...
